Ayla gave us a real scare this past Sunday evening when she couldn't seem to catch her breath. It was a constant struggle, but she didn't seem phased by it herself. (She only had my heart racing trying to figure out what was going on.) :-) We happened to be at Fancy and Grand-Dude's house - yep he wants to be called Grand-Dude - so we called our trusty neighbor Patsy over to see if she could diagnose. She listened to her lungs and they were clear, suggested that we call the doctor and get her in the next day. We did exactly that and found out that our Little Miss Ayla Blair is working with some acid reflux. So for now, we're instructed to keep her upright for at lease 20 - 30 minutes after eating and then to have her sleep on an incline. We are keeping her in her rock 'n play for now, but we may try the old "phone books under one side of the crib" bit so that we can keep her used to her bed. We'll see how that one goes and just play it all by ear. So another 1st for Ayla! (Her 1st $30 co-pay at the dr.)
Along with the reflux issue, it seems that Ayla has started to fight her sleep a little bit more lately. She wants to be held for as long as she can stay awake, and don't even think about putting her down until she's completely out! Here are a couple of her more interesting sleeping positions as of today.

| Are you hiding your eyes? Does this make your belly feel better? Either way, I was not allowed to move from this spot for at least 30 minutes! |

| Apparently this is how I liked to be held when I was a baby too! Fancy had to parade around the deck in circles bouncing you over her shoulder so you would close your eyes and go to sleep! Quite entertaining! |
