Similac Sensitive is the best. This formula has made a tremendous difference. So far today Morgan Kate has had three bottles and done well with each. She has been able to completely finish each bottle in less than thirty minutes. She is not fighting the tube feeds and she is also sleeping better. Did I just say sleeping better? I did. Last night she was only awake when I was feeding her and then she would go right back to sleep. She didn't wake up until 6:30 this morning. Only problem - now I have to adjust my sleep patterns and start sleeping at night. I was wide awake last night and really only slept about two hours. I will say that Sunday night TV is a lot better than any other night. 

This morning after I cooked Travis and I an omelet we had a photo shoot. Yep, you heard right. I was feeling so refreshed this morning that I actually cooked. I have to admit that I make a pretty mean omelet and I learned it all from my daddy. Anyway, Morgan Kate was wide awake and alert and seemed to be loving the camera. I just couldn't resist. 


I know I am her mommy, but isn't she precious? And those eyes...I could just hold her, and love her and kiss on those cheeks all day long.

Well of course she is just the most beautiful little princess in the world! Love the photos and YES I totally agree that her cheeks are completely kissable (I'm counting the months, weeks, days and minutes to when I can get some sugar)! Glad to hear the formula is working out - I know that brings everyone's stress level down. Love you all, miss you!

She is the most precious little peanut ever!!! She's liked the camera since the day she was born (although I don't think she gets a choice in this family with all the cameras flashing) I cleaned a pediatrician's teeth this past Friday and of course had to talk about ya'll. He said he's never known any babies to come home on tube feedings and that ya'll must be outstanding parents. What a compliment coming from a doctor!!!Just wanted to share that. Glad ya'll have a little system going and I pray the new formula continues to do the trick. Enjoy the time together! Thanks for keeping us posted. Miss you bunches, it wasn't the same coming to Columbia and not being able to be with you. Please give her a kiss and hug from me! Love, Kelly

What joy we have had seeing Morgan Kate grow and be such a precious baby!!
It is so nice to hear you be so happy and content.
What a wonderful life you have ahead.
In proverbs 31 it says that 'she smiled at the days to come'.
That has always been a favorie scripture of mine.

Who would have thought MK would get those sweet little fat rolls so quickly!!! What a blessing...she couldn't be more precious! I'm holding Will while I'm writing this and he starting crying when I moved him away from the computer. I guess he thinks Morgan Kate is pretty :). Watch out! (Don't tell Travis) haha

She is so beautiful and precious. I hate that I wasn't there when yall left Morgan Kate's first home. I miss and love her terribly (and mom and dad too, of course). It was an honor, pleasure and privilege to take care of all of you. I hope you all have a WONDERFUL holiday season. You deserve it. I miss yall and hope that we can all see each other soon.
