The Eleanor Update: 37 weeks

Food:  

Not the healthiest of weeks for feeding her.  Lots of potatoes - tater tots, potato wedges, and yesterday I stopped at Mcdonald's after church and she took the french fry out of my mouth at home.  Seriously right out of my mouth.

We did try chicken puree and she was kind of meh about that.

Sweet potato puffs (again with the potato thing) was another thing she liked.

Peaches were okay. I usually will try what she eats - just because- and actually I thought these were gross so on a rainy day I let her play with them.

I bought her a new straw sippy cup (Target clearance for the win) and she figured it out.  Which is good since she doesn't love bottles.


I'm always getting kicked in the face when nursing.

Sleep:

It was rough this week.  There were several drive around to get her to sleep days, and most days were wide awake for hours in the middle of the night days.

Friday night was bad.  I was so tired that I actually didn't wake up right away when the snuza (which I can't not use) went off.  Luckily it was because she wiggled it lose and was a false alarm, but not waking up right away to her needs worries me. 

Misc:
Some new and exciting things this week!

Her second tooth popped through!


And she crawled for real, but only twice.  Once on Friday and once this morning.  Each time I'm like "Did she do that?"  Oh my word! She did!"

She can pull herself up to her knees now.



She says a lot of things that sound like words.  Like I was holding her so she couldn't crawl away when I was getting dressed and I'm sure she said "let go"  Haha.  Also I'm pretty sure she said "mama" but it was mixed in with crying so I'm not positive.

Monday Quiz About Me 9/16

1. September 15th was Chicken Lover's day - what is your favorite way to prepare chicken?

I like chicken fajitas.  Since getting pregnant chicken has been an aversion of mine so I really haven't eaten it since January.    I actually would make chicken often because it's cheap and easy to prepare.  I usually make something in the crockpot, because chicken kind of is gross feeling. 

These sound good though.

2. It is 99 days until Christmas... what are you planning to ask Santa for?

New couches.  Our hand me down couches are disgusting.  They are stained, ripped, the cushions are misshapen and I am embarrassed by them.  I'd love something like this.

Or

3. How long should company stay?

No more than 4 or 5 days, and then I would want my house back

4. What do you consider to be a long trip?

I'm a homebody, so anything more than 3 nights is enough for me.  I like to go and see new places, but I also really like my own bed. And that usually wins.
