so tonight after mallory’s bath, we cuddled in the glider and i started reading her a book. she was having none of the book and none of me just rocking her or burping her or doing the special deep knee bend bounce she usually loves ~ she was so fussy and tired from her non-existant afternoon nap. so i put her in her crib, said goodnight and she quit crying. what 12-week old baby STOPS crying when her mom puts her in the crib and leaves the room? i was sort of sad for a minute but then realized tomorrow is another day and she will love me again.
we had a first tonight – because she has been so un-poopy lately, i decided tonight it would be safe to take a bath with her. so i filled the tub up with water and in we went. it was hysterical because she kept floating. i was trying to get her to sit up in the water but her bottom kept rising to the top. i debated doing the old “blow in her face and dunking her” trick they say you should do with babies but i waived it off this time.
in other news – we have now gone about 2 weeks with her sleeping through the night. i am the happiest mom in the world. we can put her down at 8p and she will sleep until about 4a-ish. for some people this might not count as sleeping through the night but because my alarm goes off at 4.40a, it works. but this week she has actually taken to sleeping until 6a, which makes rick extra happy because he gets some more snooze time.
she is doing great at daycare – at least she seems happy, fed, changed and just generally taken care of. and i think rick is enjoying being home with her a few days a week; he packs her up in his jeep and they run errands – the post office, grocery store, Mr Spots for lunch, etc. she is such a lucky girl!
