I sure hope so! She's drank more of this formula in the last 24 hours than she has drank over the past 4 days. Let's pray we're good! We're still attempting to use the sippy cup with water. I can't say it's going well...but I figure if we keep trying she'll get it. It appears she knows what do with it (as it runs down her chin), but plays more than drinks, but that's fine...we're getting closer. I did try a straw (as some people said their child figured out a straw early)...um, yeah, that was funny! All she did was chew on it! Go figure.
Well...we're supposed to get immunizations today...I have no idea how many shots it will be...but I'm sure that means it'll be a fun afternoon. Especially since last night wasn't so great--she was quite restless which meant virtually no sleep for mom (unfortunately).

The Spice has appeared
Well, I wondered whether Megan was not feeling well (which is still possible, I think she's teething, actually) or whether her spicy-ness has appeared. I honestly think we're spicy...we're certainly beginning to express our opinion about things (if only Mom & Dad knew what it was she wanted!).
We are still having problems getting her to drink her formula. We've tried three kinds (all of which she has drank without any problems before!), changed bottles and nipples and still can't get her to drink more than 2-3 ounces at a time. (Yes, we've tried the sippy cup, and she still doesn't really get the point of it yet. Closer probably, but not yet.) If we are lucky, she'll drink 8-10oz a day...yes, that is right, A DAY! So, we're trying yet another kind, which I'm told tastes more like the Chinese formula. (Did someone taste the two and determine they were similar??? I don't want to know!) I even to Wal-mart at 5am to get it so we could try it (and yes, she went with me, as she was already awake). She drank 4 ounces, so that's more than I could get her to drink at any one time for several days. The verdict is still out if she likes it or not. She will drink some apple juice (which is really mostly water), but not more than 8oz a day either. I'm concerned about her getting dehydrated. We're going back to the doctor tomorrow, maybe he'll have some suggestions on how to manage the spicy-ness and get her to drink her milk!
