maddie is talking like crazy now!! she is a big chatterbox. talks to herself, to me or Jae...even talks when shes on the boob. its hilarious.

she also has stranger anxiety. i read that it hits babies at 4 months and maddie was right on track for this one. she cries when she sees someone other than me or jae =(

daylight savings hit us hard. it was my fault though. i gave her an extra nap for 2 days to see if i could extend her sleeptime. she woke up early both nights like 4:45 am. i nursed her at those times which probably started a bad habit. this morning she was up at 3:45 am. she goes back to sleep eventually, waking up at 6:30 (the old 7:30) so it hasnt been TOO bad. but i do want her to stop these night wakings. I have been giving in to her bc she has been sick last week and also daylight savings so i felt bad.

Her sleep has been weird...today she actually fell asleep on the playmat, by herself. The crinkly stuff kept her stirring though. She also had been taking 2 hour naps in my laps for 2 days in a row. And today, she went down for a nap at 3pm and slept for 5 minutes! so needless to say, since between 1:20 and 6:20, she slept for 5 minutes, she was cranky. at 5:30 i gave her a bath and tried to extend that and also the feeding time and she finally went down at 6:20. sigh. i still want to get her back to her old 7pm sleeptime. we shall see what happens this week.

in better news, her cold is finally better. she rarely has runny nose now and i only have to aspirate her maybe twice a day now.
