33 Weeks ~Mallory~

Sleep:

Naps are getting better.  I sometimes resort to the carrier, but if I can nurse her to sleep and lay her in the crib and she will stay sleeping she might go an hour or so. 

Even nighttime sleep is a little better.  She still wakes up once or twice before really settling down for the night but she goes back down with just a little rocking/swaying.

We were at my parents cabin over the weekend and she slept terrible, but the pack n play isn't super comfy so I don't blame her.

Feeding:
I've been throwing cherrios at her lately to keep her entertained while I try to eat (not literally throwing of course).  She doesn't usually manage to get them into her mouth but when she rarely does she seems to enjoy them.

She bit me while nursing this week.  Three times.  And then hasn't since.

She ate steak and really enjoyed it. Like gummed at it for a long time until she dropped it and it was all over.

Misc: 
She's getting better at sitting unassisted which is nice.  I tried her in a shopping cart and she wobbled a little bit did okay.

The Eleanor Update: 35 weeks

Feeding:

We tried cherrios and she liked those, but most wound up in the high chair. Same with the breadstick:  pieces I was feeding her at Olive Garden (not the healthiest choice; mom fail).  She also tried a few bites of the egg in my omelet and she kept wanting more.  I gave her a strawberry and I think she would have liked it more had it been easier for her to hold onto.

We went to a wedding reception and left her with Rob's mom (only our second date in 8 months) and she went almost 5 hours without eating more than a small amount of yogurt.  She was just holding out I guess.



Misc:
She's started to discover her 'diaper area' during diaper changes.  I know that it's normal, but I still try to redirect sometimes.

She had just learned how to sit up on her own in last weeks post, but now she's doing it a lot.  Still startles me when I see it.



Last week I noticed her two front teeth coming through her gums and today I felt the teeny top sharp top of one poking through.  I couldn't get a picture of it though.

Sleep:
When she wakes in the middle of the night it's a lot harder to get her back to sleep.

She has been better at naps though.  I can usually get one good (hour plus nap) a day and a few catnaps.

She has a new obsession with plastic bags and wants to play with them (she doesn't get to obviously)

I heard an unusually cry from her when I was in the bathroom and came out to find her stuck under this toy.

Her cousin made her the onesie and picked out her outfit
