It's been awhile since I've updated. Life has been busy the past couple of weeks. This week it has finally died down a bit. The best news of all is that except for two nights, our little one has slept through the night for about a week and a half now! Hallelujah! I had forgotten what it was like to wake up and actually feel rested, like I had slept that night. It's so nice to wake up in the morning and feel energetic. I don't think I've felt that feeling since before I got pregnant!
Today we had to go to the pediatrician because I was worried about her lack of weight gain. In two months she has only gained one pound, two ounces. I talked to the doctor about how to get her to eat more--food just doesn't seem too exciting to her. The doctor told me to go ahead and give her pretty much whatever we eat, with the exceptions of a few things babies aren't supposed to have until they're older. So tonight she was thrilled to eat pancakes with her oatmeal and pears for dinner. She loved them! And at lunch she ate a ton of yogurt--I think that's her new favorite food. The doctor said to give her that every day for lunch because it's high in calories. I had given it to her a couple of times in the last week and she liked it, so I'm sure she'll love lunch from now on!
Let's see....what else is going on....we're getting ready for Christmas. Every day she likes to sit on the floor in the living room, look at the Christmas lights on the tree, and play with this curly ribbon that we've now turned into her toy. It fascinates her for about 20 minutes a day. Today it was so warm and sunny that I took her outside and she got to swing on her new swingset for a little while. She loved looking at the shadows on the ground and watching the wind blow the tree limbs a little bit.
That's the update from our house. I probably won't write again until after Christmas.
