Sometimes it’s not time that keeps me from posting… it’s brain power. I can’t even say I’m sleep-deprived, since most of the time I feel pretty rested and conscious. No, it’s the interruptions. I don’t do well with multi-tasking. Necessary in life, and I cope, but now I don’t get much time to myself in the evenings and I’m never quiet sure when the interruptions will come. It takes me three tries just to get through paying bills, transferring money around, and filing the paperwork… not that I was very prompt with doing that before baby, but that’s not the point now is it.<\/p>\n
i think I read somewhere that babies (and kids) can have meltdown\/tantrum\/bad days right before not just a growth spurt but also a leap forward in some kind of skill or language development. I’m wondering if that’s what happened with Katherine, because last week she was a bear – grumpy, whiny, inconsolable. Then this weekend she suddenly seemed so much more interested in the world around her, more interactive, more expressive. She’s smiling all the time now in response to us talking and smiling at her, and in response to her favorite toys. She’s started making new sounds, too, making sounds when happy, things outside of her repertoire of unhappy sounds. Today she gave a tiny little shriek as she kicked and flailed in excitement as she stared at a toy of hers. It was too funny!<\/p>\n
Why am I up at 1:30 in the morning when my baby is asleep? Of course she’s right beside me and I’m sure any second she’ll wake up – it seems it’s always within the 60 seconds after I lay down, in fact – but it still seems kind of stupid…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
