| On October 22 I returned to work, part time. Although it was WAY better than when I left home to go back to work after B was 3 months old ( I cried the whole way into town) because it was all day and HORRIBLE, it's still not what I want with my life with a new baby. She's so cute and I have so much fun with her. I miss her and my B while I'm away, although B is in school, which he says is too long and boring. She's 3.5 months old now and she'll sometimes make a little gurgling sound when she is smiling. She doesn't want to drink a bottle for her dad. Tomorrow grandma has her so we'll see how she does with the bottle. She waited all day w/o drinking milk (I pump at work) until I returned home from work @ 3. He's tried various nipples and bottles but she has given him a hard time each day he's been with her during feeding times. Hmmmm. She looks so cute in yellow. I'll do another entry with a great picture of her. |

dribblin' droolin'
I say that to her when there's lots of drool coming down from her lips. She drools a lot nowadays.
Why does she mess up her outfits when we go out?! This Sunday at a birthday party she messed up her dress with a big poo poo diaper. Then yesterday at the store she had 2 huge poo poo diapers and messed up 2 outfits. She's a monkey! :> And she doesn't cry when her diaper is filled with poo; she becomes quiet. She'll just sit forever. Her brother did that too. Today when I came back from bringing B to school, I checked her in the bassinet and she was wide awake "eating" her hands but not crying (dad was in the shower). She had a huge messy diaper to change. Then I fed her. She's still just drinking breastmilk--for another month exclusively according to the doctor. At 4 months we can give her some food.
She cries when her dad holds her sometimes. I don't know why.
Nowadays in her 3 month old state, I can sit her down in her bouncy chair and she'll sit for a bit while I fold clothes or do the dishes. She began recently to grab the little bar on the seat that has the mirror and rattle. She takes little cat naps a lot rather than one big morning nap. So that doesn't help me much because by the time I get settled down for a quick nap, she's awake again.

eyebrows!
When she was born, her eyebrows seemed barely visible. The past couple of weeks I've noticed that they are getting darker. Tomorrow she'll be 12 weeks old. Wow!
She smiled at me when I looked directly at her, so she's noticing more.
We went to lunch with B today and he was excited to see her. All the kids like to see her there and when I go to lunch with B without T they all ask where she is. Sometimes she falls asleep with all the kids around & their commotion (a school cafeteria!) but today she stayed awake looking around at everyone. Everyone (grown-ups) comments on how much hair she has. She has lots, but I cannot put a bow/clip in it because it's too silky and the clips fall out.
Still getting just breastmilk; doctor said until 4 months old that's all she'll need. She's doing fine without any thing else. She's chunky and almost needing size 3 diapers. I wish she was still in newborns!And now she's about to end size 2 diapers. My goodness :<
At 12 weeks she is still waking up 2x's a night, generally around 2-3AM and 5-6AM. And she won't really settle down until close to midnight. I'll feed her at 9 and put her down in her bassinet but she wakes up shortly thereafter so I'll feed her again around 10 and put her down again. I still have her sleeping in the vibrating bassinet on the floor next to me.
She's waking from her nap so this is the end of this post.

my favorite picture
This was taken at the doctor's office for her 2 month checkup on 9-18, right before she fell asleep and then got her injections in 3 shots (5 vaccinations in all). I just LOVE this picture!
sleep
She's sleeping in the swing right now with her mouth open. She sleeps very nicely there and did a 4 hour stint there one night, although my mom says that might not be too good for her back so I try to limit swing time to shorter periods. She smiled just now as I looked at her; her eyes are still closed in sweet sleep while I cook supper.
I cut her finger nails yesterday and while doing so I accidcentally cut her finger too and I noticed it and waited for the tears and wailing which she rightfully deserved to let out; however, she didn't utter a sound! I wonder if she has feeling there. I felt so bad that I did that :<
