This past weekend my mom visited us. My niece Lida, as the oldest grandchild, had the honor of ‘naming’ my parents. My mom is G and my dad is Pa, and we love both- short, sweet, and to the point. This was the first solo west coast visit for my mom. It was wonderful to have her spend time with us and see Sloane in her routine and groove here at home.

Sloane was very smiley and happy to see G. She wanted to munch on her knuckles and hands. She even tried to teach G about the forearm harmonica.

The past weekend was also Sloane’s 5 month mark. We ended up going to see the pediatrician on Saturday because she was doing a gasping breath when laying on her back. Instead of a breathing problem, she has a little reflux that was irritating her vocal cords. Reflux can happen around this age and with a growth spurt, which Sloane had between 4 and 5 months. She has grown one inch in length and gained 19 ounces in the past month, and is now 19 lbs 11 oz and 27 inches long!
