So! Lets run down current events. Um, Easter was okay, it rained so much they couldn't hunt in the yard. Lee's family is STILL living with us. *Sigh* Lee bought a new truck, a 2004 F250 diesel that he loves. I have a new car too, got it in Feb or something, its a '03 Expedition, love everything except putting over a $100 in it a week for gas, sigh. We have had never ending sickness running through the house for 2 months. I think we MIGHT be done with it for now, please Lord. My poor babies have been sick so much. Chloe had a AWFUL ear infection last week that caused her to throw up and have a terrible fever of 103+ for two night. It was kinda scary.
Shelby is doing good except for SLEEPING. You know how I bragged on her last post?? Hahahaha. I read that again and was like, SIGH, why can't she still be like that??? So for about two weeks now she has been waking up at LEAST twice, and then again in the morning early, between 5 and 7. And she will NOT be put back to sleep by anything but nursing. I used to be able to pat her hiney or a bit and she would be fine. No more! I CAN get her to sleep by holding her laying down and bouncing on the bed while patting her hiney, but as SOON as I put her in her bed she wakes back up and I end of having to feed her ANYWAY!! GRRRRRRRRR. I know, I know, these days shall pass. But um, they can go already, we have had enough!! Right at 4 months she started this crap. Like the day after. And its gotten worse and worse. We tried leaving her out of her swaddler thing last night thinking maybe it would help, but nope. She is really too big for it anyway. I would be putting her in her new room (and already having her sleep in there for naps) BUT we have house guests still which makes that out of the question.
So, Lee and I keep hoping it will soon PASS. She has slept all night once in like a month. BOO! Poor Jesse and Josh have to hear her every night too, lol.
Anyway! She is doing great otherwise. She is so good at picking up toys now, and sitting up by herself very well. She still topples but doing really good most of the time. She turned 5 months old a few days ago! I started her on rice cereal a fe weeks ago and she loves it. Its just kind of a pain for me because I have to pump milk to put in it. She also likes apples, but not as much as her rice cereal. She did NOT like squash and ate a little of bananas and carrots, but then started gagging, lol. She will drink out of a cup! But its a messy process.
She started touching faces a few weeks ago, its so cute, and she will reach for you if you are near her. She smiles all the time. She is generally a happy baby. She loves playing under her play mat, and rolling around on the floor. She is pretty good at rolling over from her belly to her back now!
Our daily routine has changed now. She hardly every sleeps in the morning now. Usually we get here around 10, she plays for a bit and then eats around 11. Then we go get lunch and she takes her a hour to two hour nap in the car. Then she eats again and plays then we are gone to the park to jog! Today was a bit different though, she took a short nap after we got here in the car. Then ate at 11, then we played a bit before going to lunch and she is still sleeping out there. Only about an hour to go! I think tonight we are going to jog then let Chloe play on the swing set a bit. Then take Lee some dinner over at his side job and hang out there. I just don't like being at home without him.
Well, about time to get outta here, till later!
