I realized last night (at about 4am while feeding Marleigh), that she has now lived here in her home longer than she lived in the hospital! Woo Hoo!!! It is crazy to think we have been home so long. I can't believe she is 5 months old already!
Here is a link to some pictures. Too many good ones to add here.

Okay... for some reason the link doesn't work, but if you cut & paste it will!

Finally!
Well, it now officially feels like wheat harvest. I ran the grain cart today for a few hours. It felt good to be in the field, but I missed Marleigh! She was in good hands. She was at Grandma's house. Aunt Shannon & Luke were there, too. Marleigh had fun with them this afternoon. Luke is getting so big. He's 18 months & wearing 3T clothing. He is so funny... or "punny" as he says. He has a bit of a problem sayin his "f's" but will tell you all the time that he is "punny".
Daddy is still out cutting wheat. Marleigh asked me today where Daddy has been the past few days. The guys have been working long hours. Marc got home around 12:30-12:45 last night & was gone again by 7:00. They have got to be exhausted! Please pray that we keep having a safe harvest!

Hungry, hungry hippo....
or baby should I say! Marleigh has been eating like crazy the last few days. I'm talking 5-6 ounces every 2.5-3 hours! It has been crazy. She has also been spitting more in the last week or two. It seems her reflux has been acting up. I thought they probably needed to up her dosage of Zantac since she's growing so fast. I made an appointment to take her to the doctor. 23 days ago, she weighed 8lbs 9oz. Well, today she weighed... 9lbs 12oz! No wonder she has been eating like crazy. She now gets .6ml twice a day instead of .4ml. Hopefully that will help.
The other big news... Marleigh had her first cereal today! The doctor told me to try some really, really diluted in her bottle. She said it would help with the reflux & maybe sleep a little longer. I questioned this because everything I've read said not to put it in a bottle, but the dr. insisted it was okay. Marleigh took it like a champ! She is now sleeping away! I'm hoping this will help her start sleeping longer at night. Last night she ate at 9:00 then was up at 12:00, 3:30, 6:45. I would just LOVE if it would help her to sleep 5 hours or so. I just can't believe she's on cereal already!
I was just thinking.... less than 3 months ago (April 8), Marleigh weighed 4lbs 13 oz. She has gained 5lbs in just 11 weeks! :) I've got some good pics of her too.... I'll try to get those uploaded sometime this weekend.

Father's Day, Baby Logan, & Wheat
We had such a great father's day! Marleigh slept really well Saturday night in her bed! We got up & got ready for church. Of course Marleigh had to get out all her dresses to see which one she wanted to wear! She slept through most of church, but then decided she was hungry! Daddy mowed the yard. Then we went out to Grandpa & Grandma Cline's for a steak. It was yummy!!!
Marleigh got Daddy some new LED lights & accessories for our hopper bottom trailer. She had Mommy call Uncle Jaeson to help. He was more than happy to help out. According to Daddy & Uncle Jaeson, its all about looking good! Well, the semi & trailer now look pretty darn good!
~~
We are so incredibly excited for baby Logan & his parents, Cory & Jatim. Logan went home today!!! After being so sick a couple of weeks ago, he is doing so well now. He isn't able to take all of his feedings by mouth yet, but I'm sure he'll get it in no time. Please remember them in your prayers. It is so great to be home, but as we know first hand, a little scary, too!
~~
It is H-O-T!!! But, we're glad for the wind & heat. The guys are cutting wheat! Moisture was in the 11-12 range so as Papa Bob says they are "makin' 'er smoke!" I'm just waiting for a phone call to see who is the first one to get stuck! For the first time in many years, I'm not out in the grain cart... at least not yet. It feels kinda strange!

Random...
Well, I should have complained about Marleigh not sleeping in her bed a lot sooner! She has done so much better in the last few days. We are relieved... we were about to go broke buying batteries for her swing! Ha ha!!!!
~~
Daddy & Uncle Jaeson started to cut wheat yesterday afternoon. (They keep telling Papa & UB that they're taking over the farm!) I think they were both pretty excited to get started. It was continuous & was making 45-50 bushels/acre & around 60lb test weight. Not too shabby!!! Unfortuantely, it has been raining pretty much all day, so no harvest today. It is POURING at the moment. The good thing is we still haven't had any hail. Monday night we were in line to get pounded with some pretty big hail. We said lots of prayers! The storm died right as it was getting to Pawnee county. Thank you, God!
~~
We had a nice relaxing day today. Marleigh is getting so interactive & loves playtime. We lay her on the ottoman. She kicks, smiles, coos, & almost laughs outloud. With just a little help she can roll from her back to her tummy. I don't think it will be too many weeks until she can do it on her own.
Little Miss Marleigh is getting quite the attitude. When you stop feeding her to try to burp her, she lets you know that she is NOT happy about it. She has also gotten into the habbit of trying to watch TV while eating. I finally had to turn it off this morning so she would pay attention to what she was doing.
Marleigh's diapers have Sesame Street characters on them. Daddy has been singing Cookie Monster's song to her. You know, "C is for cookies, & cookies are for me." Anyway, she just smiles & coos when he sings it to her. Now it is about the only way to change her diaper without her getting upset. It is pretty cute!

She slept in her bed last night!
Finally!!! Marleigh slept in her bed from 5:30 clear until 8:30 without making a peep! It was pure heaven!
Thanks for all the suggestions. We have a positioner in her bed. It is a wedge to keep her inclined. We also have a fan in her room to make noise as well as a radio playing. I'm telling ya, we've tried EVERYTHING!
We're just happy she slept in her crib even for a little while!
