I can't explain how refreshing the last couple of days have been. Bailey is finally sleeping through the night. The little bugger.
No more getting up between the hours of midnight and 5am every night/morning. She just started sleeping through the night 3 nights ago. And it's been so nice. No more waking up on either the recliner or the couch with a tweaked back or thinking "I JUST laid down!".
My body was so used to waking up at odd hours that I would wake up, look over at her crib. She's still snoring with her butt up in the air and hands tucked in. Ok, she's still sleeping, good. The alarm goes off... wow, was that all night that she slept.... again?
We are in the midst of switching from formula to cow milk. So that might have something to do with it. She's doing half and half right now and it's been ok. Adjusting in the beginning was rough, her stomach made a lot of noise and she rejected it. But we are doing it gradually now (mommy's sorry) so she's taking it much better.
Bailey eats everything you hand to her. Yesterday she was walking around with the same piece of chicken nugget for a half hour just nibbling on it. I know, already feeding my kid fast food. But that was a snack though, she already had her dinner.
This kid already knows how to throw a tantrum. If she doesn't get what she wants, oh watch out. She throws herself on the floor complete with arched back, flailing arms and legs, the whole nine. BUT it takes one little distraction for her to stop. Like if someone walks into the room or if you hand her a toy.
Who ever made up the term "Terrible Twos" ... they are wrong.
Anyway...
My mother has agreed to take both the kids this weekend while we're at rehearsal on Saturday only. And she emphisizes.. NOT OVERNIGHT. She just doesn't care for Bailey all that much. Only Reese. Sad, really. But you know what, I really expected it from her.
That's all for today.
