sleep

After a rough start to the night, Adia slept in her crib 10-4. She only woke at 4 because she was on her tummy. She was then up 4-5, but slept with me until 7. So I actually got some sleep last night. I still felt tired, but not quite exhausted. Adia was very cheerful when she woke up. After a diaper change, she jumped for at least half a hour. Then it was breakfast. She had sweet potatoes and plain yogurt. I mixed some of the sweet potatoes into the yogurt. She wasn't so sure about it, but did eat 1/2 jar of sweet potatoes and quite a bit of the yogurt.

Once she was cleaned up, I had to find something warm for her to wear. Winter seems to have suddenly started today and it was cold and rainy out. I looked through her drawers and saw the fuzzy duck outfit her Aunt and Uncle gave her for Christmas last year. It was 0-3 months so I didn't think it would fit. The pants have feet sewn in, making it likely too short. Nope! It fit perfectly. Everything, including the hat, was the right size. The only part that was short were the arms. I had to take pictures of her in it because it was just too cute. It made her look so little and young though.


my little model moved into these positions on her own
Our walk was interesting. I got downstairs and strapped her in between rain showers, but I also had to figure out how the rain cover went. No directions of course, just a big sheet of plastic with 4 holes on the corners. It took me a little bit, but I eventually figured it out. Adia was thoroughly confused by it, but started chewing on her toys and quickly forgot about it. She ended up falling asleep and woke up just as we got home. She grabbed on tight when I took her out and didn't want to let go. Even though the cover kept her completely dry, being against me got her damp. I hadn't been using any rain protection.


she looks so tiny
I took my shower and then gave her a bottle. She fell asleep on the couch for a little over a hour. Scott and I got to play more Halo, but she woke up before we could finish the level. We changed her diaper and she acted like she wanted to jump so back in the jumperoo she went. We played while she jumped. When she got out of the jumperoo, she wanted to play on the floor. She happily played while watching us play, but it never lasts. She then wanted to play with us. At first she tried to steal my controller, so we stopped playing video games and started playing with her. She was in a great mood. I ended up getting her to laugh AND we got it on video. Our intention was to video tape the new weird tongue thing she does since getting teeth, but of course she stopped the second she heard the camera turn on. She KNOWS!! We managed to get a few seconds of the tongue thing, but not much. The laughter was better.

Scott then took a shower so we could go to the store. Adia was cheery in the car and at the store. I carried her around in the bijorn. She was kicking her feet and reaching for anything I picked up. Everyone kept oohing and aahhing over her. She's really going to have issues when she's older. It doesn't help when she smiles at everyone. She fussed and cried on the way home, but Scott gave her a bottle and she slept for 45 minutes. She woke up happy. I felt bad though because we had to then take Scott to work. We hit rush hour traffic and a normal 10-15 minute drive took over 30 minutes. Adia screamed the whole way there and back. She had tears streaming down her face, her nose was running and her forehead was all blotchy. She clung tightly to me when I got her out of the car. She had such a tight grip on me, I couldn't set her down to change her diaper. Eventually she let me set her down. She started playing with her toys and squealing and babbling in delight. I did laundry and made dinner while she played.

Adia had sweet potatoes and yogurt with pears for dinner. She ate all her sweet potatoes, but wasn't really interested in the yogurt. She didn't spit it out though. Her main fascination, besides the spoon she stole, was the sippy cup. The second I put it on her tray, that's all she wanted. She tried holding it herself, but she needs something with handles. She drank quite a bit of the water before wanting her bath.


She had fun in the tub. She sat like a pro, banging cups together. Then she saw the turtles and grabbed for them. I handed her one, which she dropped and then watched float around in front of her. She grabbed it and used it to bang against the cup she was holding and chewing on. She played for a long time before rubbing her eyes and reaching for me. She cried when I dressed her, but was happy when I set her on the floor while I cleaned up from her bath and grabbed a bottle. We snuggled while she ate and she was out before 8. She woke up 5 minutes after I set her down, but when I picked her up, she let out a huge burp. She drank another ounce before falling back to sleep.



As you may have noticed, there was no poop talk today, but that's because there was no poop. She went the entire day without going which means tomorrow is going to be bad or she'll have a blowout while she's sleeping. I'm definitely not looking forward to that. Hopefully the pears will help a little.
