Wow we just can’t get enough of you and the pure joy and contentness you radiate ever single day! You are full of giggles, love attention from all, and give us baby fever every day.

Sleep is still…. real bad. I’ve given up and just let it happen, because I know this time is short and you just need your mama. you are going to bed around 7:30PM usually and waking up before i go to bed around 10ish to nurse. usually you can make it in your bed upstairs until around 1AM – and then i take you down to our room to nurse you and let you snuggle, and put you in your bassinet in our room for the rest of the night because usually you are up around 4 and 6ish….its not great but i just love nursing you and making you feel safe and loved. whenever you have gas i put you in the basinet and it goes away… its weird. Napping during the day is actually going very well though. usually going down for your first nap at 9 for around 1.5 hours, up until 1PM when she has her second anp, and she needs a mini cat nap to make it to bedtime around 4:30-5ish.

Loves pretty much all food i put in her mouth, gets very excited for cheerios, eats baby food well, eats off whatever we have for food, and has been taking everything pretty well. Still loves to nurse and I continue to make plenty of her which is such a blessing i dont take for granted (a great supply from her being up all night is one of the pluses) eats well BUT i have to be in a quiet room because she is SO nosy/distracted when eating.

Starting to love playing with everything – loves the little body pillow that has a crackly lion on it, loves baby dolls, thinking about crawling from the sitting position and can hold the position but no interest in getting up from her tummy. Great little pinchers that pick up all the small pieces of food and toys. Loves playing in Betsey’s dollhouse with her – Faye always gets the boys. (younger sister probs!) Her blue eyes are just so beautiful and bright and i wont ever get over them. Loves to squeal and getting very vocal, does know her name and turns her head when she hears it.

wearing size 9 months because she is so stinking tall, and our chunkiest baby. size 3 diapers, could probably use a 4 at night because she pees SO much since she drinks all night. In a blowout phase, seems to be getting another tooth and finger is in her mouth all the time. wears shoes a lot better now. big feet and hands. hair is starting to come back in quickly. popped top tooth on 12.12.23
