no nap for you

January 24, 2007

mallory has taken to not taking an afternoon nap. which means i pick her up from daycare ~3.30p and she doesn’t sleep until we make her go to bed at night. this makes for very long afternoons. i try to nurse her and put her down, she screams. i try to rock her and put her down, she screams. so i just let her stay up, in my arms, all night, until it’s bathtime & bedtime. she is still grumpy about going to bed but we make her do it.
so this afternoon, i just nursed her and tried to put …

mallory tickles me

January 19, 2007

i have to record this somewhere so i don’t forget…i LOVE how mallory tickles my side while she’s nursing. she gets her fingers going like she’s playing the piano and just goes to town. it just cracks me up. that’s all. TGIF.

who dresses you?

January 17, 2007

so when i picked mallory up from daycare today, they asked me who dresses her in the morning. i told them that i pick out her clothes….and they asked if rick dresses her . i said yes and they said they could tell…because she always has super cute clothes on but that there are always snaps not snapped, etc. lol!!

(notice the snaps on the turtleneck)

Poop Watch

January 16, 2007

we are currently on poop-watch. mallory last pooped last thursday. that’s 5 days with no poop. now, rick & i are not minding the mess-free diaper changings but we are a little concerned about the missing poop.
the pediatrician says we don’t need to worry until it’s been 10 days, and we’ve been giving her some apple juice every day but still nothing.
she’s still farting like it’s her job and doesn’t seem to be in any pain so we just wait, for the poop.

mallory is 2 months :-)

January 10, 2007

Ok, so Mallory is really over two months but we just had her two month checkup today. She is 23.5 inches long (85th percentile) and weighs 11.75 lbs. The doctor said she looks great and says to keep up doing what we’re doing. Mallory wasn’t a big fan of the three shots she needed to get – but as soon as I picked her up her tears stopped (so THAT’S what being a mom is all about?). She is really starting to smile at us – it is so rewarding to see her crack a big grin. She seems to …
