The monster is retreating. (knock on wood) Tuesday, she actually slept for 7 1/2 hours straight. This is the baby I got used to and bragged about. She was happy. Last night she woke up a little more, but was not bad either. Keep you fingers crossed for me, oops, I mean, her.
She's also eating! Monday, she had a bite of enchalada (It took Ally 1 whole hour to take her requisite 1 bite before getting a replacement meal) She's learning to get her thumb out of the way and eating fruit puffs, wagon wheels and cheerios. In fact, she's doing so well, I told the day care to start giving her some table food. She had toast and banana with breakfast yeaterday. And she had some pizza for lunch and I gave her more for supper. I'm getting formed poops in her diapers! yeah for no more diarhea (my god I can't spell, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now, cause my arm hurts just typing this. I just got a flu shot and I'm a wuss)
Her favorite toys are Ally's. Ally got a couple little halloween rattle-type maracas. THey fit perfectly in Anya's havnd/mouth. She loves them and will crawl across the room to get them if she spies them on the floor. She also likes a little basketball thing that Ally has. We bought it for her when she had already kinda of outgrown it, knowing that Anya was coming. So, it's Ally's, but... Anya loves it. it makes noise and has little hand sized balls (but too big to fit in the mouth of course) that she slobbers all over.
She loves to stand up. She thinks she's hot stuff. 9 times out of 10, I see her standing up at the padded ring on the floor at day care when I pick her up. She's standing there reaching for toys inside so she can fling them outside. What fun.
When Ally sits on her potty seat, Anya has to come investigate. it must be exciting if everyone it over there paying attention right? We have to constantly make sure there is never unattended pee in the potty when Ally gets done. This usually means that one of us takes it down to the bathroom to dump while the other is in charge of handwashing. it sometimes turns into a big production just to keep the baby from playing in pee.
She's almost 7 months old. Where did the time go?
