So I know that I am extremely behind on blogging. I apologize. BUt let me just share with you a few of the things that I have done just this week, and you will agree that I should focus all of the little brain/sanity that I have on taking care of MaKenna.
So here goes.
-Poured tea in my coffee cup that already had cream and sugar.
-My clothes didn't match and I didn't realize it until I got to work (we're talking one article had turquoise and the other article that was supposed to match was hot pink.)
- I tried to get in the Drivers seat on morning with MaKenna in my arms. I guess she was going to ride up front with me.
-I didn't pour the water for coffee into the coffee pot. And expected it to make coffee.
The list goes on and on but I guess my brain isn't functioning enough to remember. Which I feel is best b/c if you knew everything. You would probably be worried for MaKenna :)
In My defense though I have been working A LOT! Including a Yard sale for the FRG. And last but certainly not least. MaKenna has decided to start waking up all through out the night. And then usually at 3am she likes to stay awake for 1 hr and 30min and when I finally get her back to sleep My alarm clock is fixing to go off. So any suggestions on getting her to sleep are gladly excepted.
Also a few more things so that I can remeber them. MaKenna got here first tooth on Oct 23 it was the bottom left one and then she Had her second on (bottom right) on Nov. 5.
And to tide you over until I can post more here is a picture of the Cutest pumpkin ever dressed up for halloween.
I love the picture of you and her in the water. Who took it? It is great!!!
ReplyDeleteAbout sleeping: It really depends on your parenting philosophy about sleep...co-sleeping, cry it out, etc. One book that really helped us just understand the biology of sleep was Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weisbluth (I think I spelled his name right). He really describes what's involved in our sleep patterns at various ages. We have a pretty gentle approach to sleep but usually by 4 months they are sleeping through the night (at least the last three) with no "training" on our part except allowing their bodies to develop. Most kids will go through phases where they will wake more frequently which sounds like what Mackenzie is doing. Just know those are typically temporary and you really need to figure out why she's waking up at those time...distractions, wanting to be with mama, etc. And then develop a plan to attack it...white noise, and sometimes, teaching her that night time is for sleeping and day time is for mama time. Not always fun but sometimes has to be done. Anyway, I could write a book but this is just a comment. I strongly suggest that book. And no, we don't follow any book to a 't' so don't think we do everything he suggests (especially the stay at home and don't go anywhere until they are trained part...um, yeah, right...who's going to drive the 8 year old to her ballet lessons???)
