4th of July and Tears

For the 4th of July we went to Bull's house for a HUGE BBQ. There were tons of people there, a massive amount of food, beverages and kids. It was our first big outing as a family and it was perfect! We hung out with the Conlans enjoyed the sun, the shade spot we found and sat on our Seahawk blanket.

There were tons of kids there so we felt right at home - though most were not breast feeding. :)

I have posted a few pictures of the day below - finally a few Lodato family pictures!

So the tears have found their way back into Riley's eyes. She has been having bottle issues that I posted in an earlier post and the last few days have been nothing but painful. She is super duper gassy, crying all the time and just a pill. I believe it is from our attempts at her old formula and today she either found a new "witching hour" or she just wanted to be permanently attached to mom's boob for comfort.

I hope tomorrow brings a better day as it was a rough night tonight with the little one that could not be consoled at all.

Riley was happy this morning to hear that our friends the Schalekamps had their baby. Congratulations Tricia and Steve on welcoming your baby boy this morning! Little Baby Boy Schalekamp is still unnamed as the parents did not expect the little bugger to be born this soon (he was 6 weeks early). He came this morning at 1:53am weighing in at 3 pounds 11 oz and both mom and baby are doing great! well Riley is awake so i will have to write more later!
