Ok, so I'm FAIRLY LATE to the updates. The last 10 months have been a struggle for me but I'm most certainly making up for it now! I think that our decision to have her sleep in her crib at night instead of co-sleeping with us has made a tremendous improvement on my own quality of life. It was HARD to get her to sleep on her own but once we figured it out, its almost a piece of cake!
Likes: Fruits and veggies, waving at people, music, singing the ABC's, pulling mama's hair, swaying and bouncing to music, playing peek-a-boo, car rides, reading books, taking baby selfies, taking things out of boxes, puffy o's...
Dislikes: Napping, too much kale, being tired...
Sleeping: She's been fighting naps the last few weeks but sleeps almost 12 hours at night. If we could just push it one more hour... those 5:30am wake up calls are brutal!
Eating: We are still breastfeeding and I'm surprised I've kept up this long! She takes her solids 3 times a day with food we've made for her (sounds daunting but its really not!).
Playing: I love watching her play on her own. I hear her humming or making these high pitched sounds while she's unpacking her box of stuff or playing with her toys. Since I'm home, I do a lot of talking and playing with her. We read books in the afternoon as part of her naptime routine and she has a few books she really likes and will point at the pictures and squeal at them.
