Here is our sweet little one smiling up at Daddy. She began giving real smiles (i.e. awake, not caused by gas) at the start of four weeks, but I didn't have a camera on hand until seven weeks. I caught her giggling at me this week as I walked past, and yesterday I heard her laughing at the yellow starfish on the mobile above her swing--it makes me laugh in turn! She's had a lot of painful belly aches from everything I eat--milk, cheese, caffeine, chocolate, spicy foods--so I'm really at a loss regarding what I can eat without bothering her. I'm trying to remain healthy and think of what she needs, but it gets difficult! I'm hoping I can broaden my palette after her stomach matures a bit. I want to nurse for as long as possible with her, but I only last until about 9 mos with Lovely and 6 mos with Snugglebug. Well, it was a little longer, but I was basically supplementing with my milk, it was so little. I even had a nightmare last night that I could no longer feed her!
I'm in the process of finishing up her nursery, but I need to decide on wall color. The bottom half is painted in sage, which I don't want to change, so I'm debating what will match above. Her nursery set is sage/off white/brown with woodland animals, and the carpet is tan, but I plan on adding a rug. I'm also shopping for a rocker/glider/recliner--decisions, decisions! I'm terrible at them!
Only a little over a week and I'll begin my spring class. I'm only teaching one class, so I'll only be gone from Little Bit about 4 hrs total per week; I don't think I could handle more than that! And my house is finally getting clean again since I get 6-7 hrs sleep every other day (4-5 hrs on bad nights). Although, we finally got a good snow (around 4-5 inches), so my wood floors are getting pretty dirty again from certain little girls tracking in the house!
Merry Christmas to you! Any New Year plans?
