Reading

This past Monday, B and I stayed home from work and daycare. She had a rough night, not going to sleep until 3 in the morning, in her carseat. We think she got overtired and her teeth are starting to bother her, so she was irritable and wouldn't go to sleep. We tried Baby Einstein, car rides, orajel, tylenol, gas drops, gripe water and teething tablets.

What finally worked you ask at 3 in the morning????? I was slightly swinging her car seat when I removed it from the car and that lulled her la-la land. So, I stood for 15 minutes holding my 8 month old baby at approximately 17-18 pounds and her car seat, draped on my arm while she fell asleep. When the snoring started, I knew we had success!

Here she is after her morning nap, happy as a clam, reading her numbers book.

She is now officially 8 months old and is doing amazing! She is sleeping 10-11.5 hours a night and goes down like a champ (most nights anyhow). She currently loves sweet potatoes, carrots, avocadoes pureed with applesauce, bananas, pears, peaches, apricots, prunes, applesauce and her oatmeal. Currently, no teeth, but I'm sure they are on their way and she isn't crawling yet, but that will come soon enough!

We are counting down the days until school is done and we only have 19 left, woo hoo!! I only worked half a year, but it definitely feels like a full year. Then, B and I can spend our summer together, probably inside, because it is the NW and more than likely, it will be raining. :)
