I'm so sad that I've been the worst blogger ever. I'm pretty sure a 1/2 a person is following me and it's probably a crazy creeper that should cause me to make this blog private. Enjoy, crazy creeper. I'm here for the time being. Although I'm hungry, so I don't know how long this will last. :-D
Ok, snack obtained and being consumed between sentences. :) I feel like I'm missing so much Hadley documentation and a little of Morgan too. When that happens I get all bullety so here goes...even though tomorrow Hadley is 3 months and I'll need to do a 3 month post tomorrow...
Hadley, 1 day shy of 3 months old (although as I post this for reals she's 3 months, 3 days old)
- Hadley sort of found her hands earlier this week. Today she found her HANDS. And did her very best to try to fit both of them in her mouth, often at the same time. (add) As of today, she actually kicked her paci out of her mouth to make room for fistisis.
- Hadley seems to really have developed her eyesight this week as well. She's looking around at things with more intent and actually gets mad sometimes when she can't see Morgan playing. One day we were playing together (the three of us) and Morgan ran off to pee. Hadley started yelling...and then when Morgan came back she was fine. (add) Today she started sleeping on her back for naps (and is on her back in bed right now...) and after her 2nd nap, she already knew which way to look to see me "hiding" in her room back behind her head.
- She sits in her bumbo on occasion but still needs a hand behind her head just in case she gets tired and bobs backwards. (Morgan also sits in the bumbo...) (add) No more hand behind the head. She now just sits in it like a big girl. Sigh.
- Hadley still nurses 1x/night. It varies anywhere from 2:00-4:30, although the 4:30 one was a 1x deal. We don't change her diaper over night - we're all business. (add) the past two nights she has gone 10 hours between feedings which means around 5am she eats. Love. The reasons might be twofold - one, she gets 2oz of formula after nursing before bed. She seems like she's still hungry, so that's what we're doing and two, she might just be ready. Either way, it was glorious last night when everyone cooperated and no one needed us for SEVEN HOURS while we were in bed. Oh. Em. Gee. New woman today. Felt guilty drinking my mocha (caffeine) to celebrate since I so didn't need it.
- Hadley eats more than I can make across the span of a week. If I didn't pump after morning feedings and occasionally get a 1/2 ounce-ounce extra here and there, we'd be in trouble. This week a few times I had to give her 2oz of formula after a feeding b/c she's still hungry. Fine by me. I'll feed her whatever she wants.
Morgan
- Otherwise known as "Sass" this week. I think she's testing out what it could be like for her "thrilling threes."
- She's also had some really sweet moments too. She's been helpful with Hadley and just a peach all around when she's not practicing her "Sass" moments.
- Her articulation is getting even better. Her /l/s are starting to emerge with more urgency and she's aware of her sounds in a way I wish some of my students were.
- She's been GREAT at our back up sitter's. Both days she was there, she's been sad to the point of tears when it's time to go. While I don't like tears, my heart melts in the fact that she likes it and is comfortable.
- I wish I could remember every funny thing she says but there are so many I can't remember them all in a day. I put this on FB the other day but don't want to forget. Adam built Morgan-friendly steps for Morgan to get into her "tree house" on her swing set and after going up/down them 100x, she looked at Adam and said, "Daddy! Thank you soooo much for building my steps! I so proud of you!" It warms my hears that she hears us when we say these things to her and uses them herself later when she truly means it.
Other items of note - we are getting another....NIECE!! Teegan Monroe will be joining our family this summer and we couldn't be more excited. FIVE girls on my side of the family...that's a lot of estrogen. Super excited for Hadley that she'll have someone close in age to play with at those family functions. :-D
I took some time to look back at Morgan's info when she was Hadley's current age. It's crazy what Hadley will be doing in the next month...two months...I had to cut myself off from reading or I would have ignored any and everything around me.
Another item of note...I concede. Hadley and Morgan look ridiculously the same at this age (3 months). Hadley's got a different twinkle in her eye (oh no, is it worse sass then Morgan's going through right now?) but they look very very alike - adorable!!
Ok, there, a post...hopefully more sooner than later. It's later than I thought so I'll have to do pictures another time. I SUCK at pictures lately. :-/ Sorry.
Our baby is 3 months! Morgan is 29 months! awwwww....
