Time with the Turners: Driving Buddies

This week has been one of great milestones for RLT! She rallied and finally took the bottle in preparation for daycare, took a nine hour road trip to visit some friends with mommy, found her hands, and slept through the night!!!

Daycare has been a great source of stress for us because of losing our original provider and then the Bottle Battle. It turns out that RLT does not like the bottle. She especially doesn't like it when mommy tries to give it to her. Go figure! However, this week, we have tried the Dr. Brown bottles that Laura and Jeremy so graciously handed down to us. She only fought it for about an hour the first go round. Then, she took right to it every subsequent feeding. Thank goodness!
Additionally, we have found the most wonderful daycare provider for our little girl. Dodi is the director of the children's wing at Beargrass and has agreed to care for RLT. Dodi is amazing and as many people at church have said, "...this is her spiritual gift!" We do want to thank all of those who so selflessly offered their help when we lost our original provider. We feel so fortunate to have such loving and caring people in our lives!

As far as the rest of this week went, the weather gods gave us another day in the 60s, so we had to take advantage!

RLT and mommy took a road trip to Richmond, Virginia to visit some dear friends. Of course we were all about nervous about the long hours in the car, but I could not have asked for a better driving buddy. This sweet girl slept for all but ten minutes on the way there and maybe five on the way home. She was such a champ!
It was so good to see April, Shawn Thomas, and their little boy! We enjoyed pajama days, a night out for sushi, organizing some drawers in the kitchen, and just snuggling our little ones. It was wonderful!
