This is the first day I have felt decent in 2 weeks. I got the second sinus infection of my life and missed out on Thanksgiving. It was nasty. I felt like I did in the 6th grade when I was sick for 3 weeks, minus having a mom take care of me and instead having 3 kids to take care of, one who is nursing and my milk supply went down and I started having to get up in the night again. That's a long sentence but you get me.
Aliza is now 6 months old!! So a recap of her 5 monthness. We started solids! And we jumped in with both feet, the only babyfood she has had has been prunes and rice cereal. Otherwise, it's applesauce, sweet potatoes, mommy's somewhat spicey meatloaf, baked potatoes, homemade chicken and noodles, yogurt, mashed bananas. Suffice it to say, she is well acquainted with texture by now and it's cheaper too. I use Linda's old babyfood grinder. She really liked the meatloaf and I was surprised. :) She has stopped biting me. She started sleeping through the night again with the help of a 10pm nursing after she had been in bed for a couple hrs, but that has all changed since the milk decrease, but I can tell it's back on the increase and she went till 6 am this morning. Almost there. She is a delight of a little baby, I call her a little joy, which is fitting since her name means joy. She is snuggly, smiley, giggly, screamy, drooly, good good baby. I know it's weird but sometimes when I''m holding her I close my eyes and picture myself pregnant with her, which seemed like forever and wondering what she was like and then opening them and here she is in all her snuggly cuteness. Did I mention how cute her legs are?? How can they not be when her thighs are chubby and all of 2 inches long?? So as demanding as a baby and a nursing one at that can be and how I sometimes feel tied down not to be able to just get up and go, I remind myself how time flies and this is my last go around, live it like you got to go back in time for a second chance. No major news on the big motor skills, still only rolls from tummy to back, which is ok with mommy, life gets harder when they mobilize, she picks up and plays with her toys and loves her saucer.
That's it for now ;) oh and I put up new pics on shutterfly
