just wondering if anyone actually reads this blog. it’s OK if i don’t have an audience because i am mostly journaling here so that i have material for mallory’s scrapbooks when i get around to doing them.
but if you are reading, can you post a comment or shoot me an email? it will help me decide if i need to be clever and witty or just journalistic.

i got snubbed again!
tonight was the 2nd night in a row that mallory doesn’t want/need me to comfort her to sleep.
now that i’m back to work i miss having quiet time to hold her, especially on the weekend nights when i don’t mind staying up later to rock her to sleep. tonight she fussed and wiggled until i turned on her Hail to the Victors mobile over her crib and lay her underneath it. without even a whimper, she put herself to sleep.
i know i shouldn’t remotely complain since we are very lucky that she is such a good night sleeper but it …
mallory has already outgrown her mom
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 …
no nap for you
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
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?
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 is over!
we have poop!!! we had two poopy diapers this evening. thank goodness :-)
Poop Watch
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 :-)
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 …
