rosie 5 months
Teething - I hope Rosie is getting close to cutting teeth - she has been REALLY cranky and drooling tons and chewing HARD on my hands and her hands and whatever else she can get a hold of… I hope this stage doesn’t last too long!
She has also been very interested in my eating and is grabbing at things on the table - but I don’t know if it is because she wants to EAT the food - Or just grab it…I think it is more she just is interested in grabbing new things - hmm - it is definitely something to keep my eye on…
I am already getting worried for when Rosie grows out of her swing - it is one of the only ways she gets a good long nap - either the swing - the car- or on mommy - sometimes she will go as long as 3 hours for a nap in the swing!
Speaking of naps - there is no schedule here - I can tell when she gets tired and fussy and I try to nurse/rock/bounce her to sleep then - she will nap in the car or in the swing or I have to hold her (or lay her in my bed and lie next to her so she can feel my body against hers) otherwise the nap will maybe last 15-30 min at the most - sometimes if we are out - she gets several short naps - when we are home she usually naps for an hour in the morning - sometimes 2-3 hours in the swing in the afternoon - and a couple short 30min naps until around 8-9pm when I have been trying to put her to bed.
Only 3 more days to go in the cold weather before we go to Florida for a week!!! I am soo excited for some warm weather - especially since we got about 8-9 inches of snow yesterday! I am going to go outside in a bit and build a snowman and take some photos of Rosie in the snow!
I have an appointment to get my hair cut today - and I have to admit I am nervous - I have had the same long hairstyle for the last 6 years and I am excited for a change but I am afraid I won’t like it or it won’t look good - I am not going too drastic - just cut to about shoulder length (just out of reach of grabby hands when we are nursing).
