Her opinions on sleep are definitely changing. This morning when she was tired I layed down with her, nursed her, and then she fussed and pushed me away. Yeah. So I scooted back a foot – still close enough to stroke her hair and put the paci back in when she pulled it out – and let her be. I had to give her my shirt to grab in her hands, but then poof, sleeping baby. I walked out of the bedroom with the biggest “WTF?” look on my face.<\/p>\n
Next nap didn’t work quite the same. She’s fighting it: grabbing at me, giving little “I’m so tired!” whimper-cries, nursing, not-nursing. I just have to wait for her to settle down. She’s trying to figure it out, but I can tell she’s a little bit frustrated. Oh, then she got the hiccups. How irritating.<\/p>\n
The word of the week is PATIENCE.<\/p>\n
She’s recently (like last week) learned how to grab her paci, and she’s obsessed with it now. Which is just so effing irritating<\/i> because she pulls it out every 30 seconds – and she doesn’t know how to put it back in yet. So it’s *suck suck* *pulls it out* *holds it up and stares at it* *drops it* *cries and roots*. Repeat about ten billion times (slight exaggeration). She does it all day long, but it’s worst when she’s tired because she continually wakes herself back up. Headdesk. I cannot wait until she learns to put it back in<\/i>. I may cry tears of joy.<\/p>\n
But all that being said, it’s kind of cool to see her learning new things, exploring what her hands can do, experimenting with cause-and-effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
