Ella is doing much better

Not really a question but thought I would give you all an update.  We have decided to put Ella on formula because of the constant crying and she just wanted to be held and I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown.  She's been on it for the past 2 weeks and she's a completely different baby.  She sleeps a lot longer during the day and she very rarely cries anymore.  At night she has started waking up once a night about 3:30am after going down at 7-7:30pm.  I feel like I am getting some control back with my life and emotions and have found putting her on formula to be the best decision I have made.

Ella is also crawling now and she goes from the crawling position to sitting up and she sits up all by herself.  She is getting better at staying on her knees now.  She is also eating close to 3 small meals a day.  I'm starting to feel on top again which I haven't felt since she was born :)

This is such great news, I am very happy to hear things are looking up. Sounds like switching to formula was a wonderful decision. What a big girl she is crawling around! I bet you are one proud mommy. Taylor has just started crawling and it is sooooo cute! We all are so blessed and I think that everyday. Life is completely different now that I am a mother but I wouldn't change a thing!

Keep us posted on your little pumpkin. I love hearing about everyones babies.
