Starting Solids

Milestone: This past week we started feeding Daisylyn solids. So far she has been doing pretty well. Her doctor recommended that we introduce one new food a week. The GI doctor we have consulted with recommended starting with sweet potatoes and squash, rather than rice cereal and apple sauce which both can be constipating.

Another Milestone: Daisylyn has had digestion and pooping problems since she was born. We have had to give her suppositories for her to able to have a BM. I have been trying to stretch as long a possible between suppositories so she would start going on her own. This at times was difficult for a few reasons. 1. She has had difficulty with constipation 2. She has reflux and will throw up more often with out getting rid of things on the other side 3. She would cry and cry until she got help going #2.

For over a week now she has been able to go on her own which is such a blessing. Her reflux seems to have shown improvement as well. She continues to grow and grow a bit each day. Here are some pictures from her first feeding of solids.

We need to get an official family picture still!!

grandpa's grave site.


Brinton calls her his little twin. Do you see a strong resemblance here?

Our sweet little Daisylyn is 4 months old. Today we went to the doctor for our wellness checkup and immunizations.

Here are her stats:

14lbs 7oz (she has now doubled her birth weight)

25inches long

She is beginning to roll from side to side and it won't be long before she is turning over. We are going to give her solids foods this week. We are going to start with sweet potatoes. We would have given them to her tonight, but she fell asleep while she was playing. She smiles and talks all day long and gives us an occasional giggle.

A couple more pictures: 3 months

Daisylyn is 3 months

Today we celebrated Daisylyn's 3 month old mark. She and I had a little photo session at home. It was fun, but I as soon as I pulled out the camera she hid her smiles. I managed to get one photo with a smile.

She is such a sweet girl. At this point she is enjoying watching people and is aware of all the noises around her. She likes to smile and laugh too. She will glance toward the TV if it is on. She likes to put her hands in her mouth and is starting to explore by grabbing things. When she goes to sleep she likes to hug a blanket and keep it near her cheek. She will also cover her head if it is light in the room.

She is our little sweetheart and we love her so!!!!

Sweet Daisylyn is two weeks old

Announcing Daisylyn Croff

Our sweet little one Daisylyn was born on her due date April 15th 2009 at 7:37am. She weighes 7lbs 3oz and is 19inches long. She has dark hair like her daddy and has a very sweet nature about her. We are so grateful and blessed that she has come into our lives. Both Brinton and I can hardly believe that we have a daughter and that we are now parents of our new little family. Just one year ago this week, we got engaged!
