15 lbs. 1 oz. - 26 inchesHi Bailey,
So this month you've REALLY started teething...last month was nothing compared to what you're going through now! I so wish I could make you feel better...sometimes it just seems like you're miserable. But as they say, this too shall pass. Which is good because hopefully once it does, we'll all be getting more sleep around here. And really I shouldn't complain...I've heard some pretty horrible sleeping stories about teething babies. You just wake up a couple of more times then you did before. Okay so you went from once to about 3 or 4, not bad...I know. Now if only I would learn and go to bed earlier. And speaking of sleeping...you still don't like napping alone. The minute I even start to put you down you open your eyes and look at me as if to say "what do you think you're doing?" And so I sit back down and you go back to nursing and then back to sleep. The few times that we actually make it all the way to your bed, you usually last about 5 minutes, give or take, and then scream to let me know that it's not okay to lay you there. What was I thinking?? These times kind of suck for both of us because you can't usually fall back asleep after getting so upset. So you don't nap and I don't get any kind of break...that puts us both in quite a grumpy mood. We'll keep working on this napping thing though, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon enough.
On another note, you sure are interested in EVERYTHING these days. The days of having dinner while you nursed and dozed off are over. We now spend the whole meal trying to keep you from knocking our dinner on the floor or from grabbing anything off our plate. Taking a drink out of a glass, yea thats nearly impossible too. Of course this newfound desire to grab anything within your reach is pretty entertaining for us, and you I assume. I think sometimes even you're surprised that things are all of a sudden in your hands! The other day you even grabbed your foot and put that in your mouth!
Unfortunately, you can't quite sit up or move around on your own yet, so sometimes you end up on your face as you go to reach for something. Or you'll end up in a spot you don't want to be in and get really angry about it! Patience is not your forte (I don't know where you get that from).
You've also become quite the talker, even more than you were before! Some mornings we wake up to your babbling and I must say, it has to be the best thing to wake up to. But yes, the talking! So, so cute! I think you have the best conversations with that baby in the mirror, now if only it would talk back! Sometimes you swat at it as if to say, "Hey you! Say something!" It's quite the scene.
Well, I'm typing this with one hand as you lay on me nursing/sleeping and you're starting to squirm.
I love you!
-Mama
Edited to add that I wasn't upset at all in the first part of the post. Your daddy read it and thought it sounded like I was complaining. Oops!
