Adia slept 9 straight hours in her crib last night. She woke up at 6 and Scott managed to get her back to sleep for a little bit. That meant I got to sleep in too. When I got up, Adia was playing on the floor. She was happy to see me and even happier when I shared some of my crockpot applesauce with her. She kept tapping my arm to get another bite. After awhile she started to get fussy so I gave her a bottle and she fell asleep in my arms. Scott took his shower and after Adia woke back up, I showered.

It was then off to do some errands. The first stop was for Scott. Adia and I stayed in the car, but she was not happy to be in the car seat. She started to get even fussier as we headed to get lunch. I made her a bottle which she eagerly grabbed. She quickly went into a milk coma and was half asleep by the time we reached out destination. Scott carefully got her out of the car, but she didn't want to stop eating. When we got into the restaurant she became totally sidetracked with the surroundings. We tried the high chair, but she didn't last too long in it. Scott held her while I ate and then he set her back in the high chair. She was fine the second time around. She kept trying to eat the table after dropping all her toys on the ground.


After lunch we headed home. Adia played some more before getting super cranky. She drank 4oz and fell asleep in my lap for over a hour. By then it was getting late, but I couldn't start dinner while holding her. When she woke up, Scott took her and they played on the floor together. She started to get fussy for dinner so I mixed some crockpot applesauce with some leftover sweet potatoes and cut up some banana. Scott fed her. She was really interested in the banana and puff, but kept making odd faces after bites of the applesauce mixture. I think it was too sour for her even though she liked it this morning. When she started to get fussy again we handed her a biter biscuit. Those are always good at distracting her. We were then able to eat dinner, but she made a huge mess. When she started to get tired of the biscuit, I plopped her sippy cup in front of her. Her eyes lit up and she started playing with it. It didn't take too many tries before she actually got the spout in her mouth and took a drink. That's a first for her. I couldn't believe it!


I took a bath with her again tonight. Adia was happy about that. She leaned against me while I washed her face and hair. When I stood her up to wash the rest of her she started grabbing turtles off the side. She soon had them all in the tub with us. Her hands didn't used to be big enough to grab them, but they certainly are now. Every time she looked up and saw Scott, she'd smile. Eventually she wanted out and Scott dried and dressed her. I was waiting on the couch with a bottle. Adia took it at first, but then started arching her back and trying to get down. Scott took her from me and set her on the floor to play. That didn't last long. She soon got fussy so I took her back. She then drank most of the bottle and fell mostly asleep. She didn't wake up when I took the bottle out of her mouth so Scott chanced trying to lay her in the crib. He successfully laid her down and turned on her lullaby cd. Maybe we'll have another good night.
