It looks like the little lady is slipping into her brother's sleeping habits - fighting sleep till midnight. Hopefully we can break her of that before 4 months when Peanut finally would go to bed properly.Please oh please oh please!
We've had a lot of excitement, heading down to M-Town to visit family, family coming up to visit us, family leaving us to go visit Peanut's new cousin N. Plus we all caught colds awhile ago. I'm not sure if it was worse to be sick... or now always trying to stifle my cough so I won't startle her awake while I'm getting her down. She's napping right now and he's playing trains. She could use a real good first nap after her many wake-ups last night, let's all cross her fingers.
She's developed a new thing though. She'll smile if you play peek-a-boo with her :) Which is great fun and gives us something to do. I glanced at Peanut's activities at this age, in the next two weeks he started grabbing toys and playing with his feet. Hopefully we see some of those soon!She's getting so strong, she sits up quite well in the bumbo now. I've been distracted lately with the cold and getting the house cleaned up, I've been neglecting her tummy time. I'll have to make up for that today. Peanut wants to play Zumba too, I'll have to make time for that. My plan for tonight is to leave the lights off to see if we can't get her to sleep earlier. Peanut won't mind, he loves playing in the dark. Lights on his trains and trucks, candles, playing hide and go moo. Lot's of fun.
--------------- Sudden realization after getting Peanut a snack -------------
I have gluten problems, I always read the labels on everything I eat. I'm used to eating dairy free - Peanut had a milk protein issue till 9 months. Doing it again for Almond shouldn't be a big issue.
She went from sleeping sometimes 8 hours (after finally consenting to go to bed), to being up every couple hours, napping like crap, needing to poop is pissing her off again and her diapers are a slimey mess. Sighs - I'm not sure what I'm more upset about at this point, confirming the milk protein issue in my second child or the fact that I now have to wait for it to exit our systems again. Poor little girl.
I'm going to play a little game, where I only eat a few things, like I'm stranded on a deserted island. That'll make it a game! I'm stranded, I don't have much food, and I can't eat exotic things like... veggie straws.
Well, I'll have to think about that later because go figure, she's awake.
