35 weeks ~Mallory~

Sleep:  We are sill struggling at night getting her to sleep (and be we I mean me because Rob crashes in Eleanor's bed with her almost every single night).

And as if spending hours every night wasn't enough, she's up around 5:30 every single morning (plus a wakeup around 3ish).   I can nurse her and lay her in bed with me and she might give me another 45 minutes.

Oh and she only napped in short spurts for the majority of the week.  I'm so tired.

But Tuesday night she went to bed on the first attempt and slept for several hours, and although Wednesday night after finally getting her to bed she slept until 5:30 in her bed.

We did spend on night in a hotel and she spent that night in bed with me.

Food:
Apples were new I think.
I'm not sure if she's had pizza before but she enjoyed gnawing on a crust.
Ritz style crackers.
Frozen waffles

Misc:
She is making the best expressions lately.  I'm constantly cracking up!
I went to the grocery store on Sunday.  I fed her and she fell asleep and I left.  She slept most of the time and did okay with Rob while I was gone.  Then Monday I had to go get a tooth fixed and my mother in law watched her and she did okay then too!

The Eleanor Update: 52 Weeks

This is going to be my last weekly update.  That's going to be weird for me. I've spent almost two years doing pregnancy updates and then updates on Eleanor.  

Feeding:

I gave her a plain waffle and she ate the entire thing one morning.  I get in a rut of just feeding her cheerios so I thought I'd try it and since she liked it I know have something else to try.

She had cake at her party on Saturday (I'll get a birthday recap up later this week), but it was a hit. 

I think I've managed to stretch feedings to the 4 hour mark for the most part.

Sleep:

Wednesday night she slept for 10 hours without waking, was up for 3ish and then slept 2 hours).

Saturday night she slept 9-7, and last night she slept until almost 5 am.  Then she didn't go back down until almost 6:30, but slept in until 9:30 almost.

Sleeping through the night hasn't happened much lately so it was a nice change.

Misc:
Tooth number four popped through yesterday.

She's talking more- as in I can understand and pick out words more.  Sometimes I think I hear words and phrases and think that's just me thinking she's a genius but then others hear it and I'm even more sure she is.  My mom heard her say 'thank you' at the same time I did.
