Even though J has been busy at the store and not been home till Maddie is asleep, I still love all my time with her. Its been hard at some points, not having someone to pass her off to, but since she can sit up on her own, its been much much easier. I can sit her in the pack n play and cook, or clean. Which is what i did saturday. I vacuumed and steam mopped the kitchen while maddie sat and watched. And then i rolled the pnp to the formal living room and she watched me do the same to my entryway. I made kimchi jigae and everything!
Sunday my family came over. Maddie was SO good. even let everyone hold her! i know i complain a lot but deep down i know my baby is awesome!
Maddie has been into books lately which i am LOVING. Her first favorite book was a book my book club had gotten me, called Farm Animals.
She loves the touch n feel books and knows exactly where to touch.
She loved this book so much, I tried to find other touch and feel books online and I bought some but she doesnt like them as much as Farm Animals.
But surprisingly, that book actually recently got trumped by a famous Eric Carle book, Polar Bear Polar Bear what do you hear?
She looooves this book. She smiles and laughs as i read it. Its so cute bc she will try to peek in between pages to see whats coming next. She loves the pictures. and I love reading to her.
Her naps have been getting so much better. I figured something out. If she wakes up early from a nap, I dont go to get her for 15 minutes. I let her whine, cry or whatever she wants to do for 15 minutes. after 15 minutes, i go to get her if shes still awake. But I found that most of the time, she will go back down for a nap! amazing! this has changed my days and her schedule tremendously. She had even taken a few 2 hour naps. GLORIOUS! this caused me to move her first solid meal from afternoon to the morning time. I Think this schedule is much better so i hope she can keep it up. Shes still at 2 naps a day most days...
Have i mentioned she can use a straw now? I am so over the sippy cup. the straw sippy is the bomb. she can use it herself and i just love it.
New foods she has tried - chicken soup, beef stew, "jook" (rice porridge), peaches. I have some blueberries i havent given her yet. I stopped giving yogurt bc I think she had a slight reaction to it. it was either that or mango. still not sure yet.
Maddie learned the word "picture". When I say wheres the picture, she can look at her sonogram pics hanging in her room.
still have 10 lbs to lose. oh, last week i sort of spotted and i got scared my period was coming back. but still nothing yet. wonder how long i can go without it. hehe.
oh, so she is also teething again. i can tell because grandma maddie is back! she is also doing everything she used to do when her first teeth came in...including waking up at nights! wahhhh! i dont even know which teeth are coming in, so its even hard for me to help her. Hope they come in quick. ITs so sad to see them suffering.
I'm loving all the time i have to write this blog. I even got to take some naps this weekend when maddie napped. it was such a great weekend...even though J was gone (or was it BECAUSE J was gone? haha). I am dreading going back to work tomorrow. =(
Happy Vday All!
