The last two weeks have turned my baby into a new child. She suddenly started sprouting hair like weeds, adding tons of new words, eating meals and not sleeping. She is pulling up on things then letting go to stand, or squatting down to sit instead of falling. She is interacting with her sisters like never before and sometimes wants nothing to do with me when they are around. She mimics them choking, laughing and chewing and watches their every move.
She has started saying "Uh Oh!" and holding her arms up with her version of "so big." She says "more" at meals and "peek a boo." She waves hello and bye bye, sometimes blow kisses, and regularly leans in to give them open mouthed.
Hazel had her first big beach vacation and loved the water and the sand, and that mama let her nurse all night long since we all shared a room. Since being home, sleep has been interrupted as we attempt to reset to her normal schedule. Naps are a challenge as well as she only wants to sleep in my arms in the rocking chair in her room. Nothing else will do :/
Most days she nurses three or four times a day; morning, before afternoon nap, and at bedtime generally. As we started introducing more foods she hasn't been as interested and my body must have been ready because I haven't had any oversupply issues. No plans for pushing her to wean, just follow her needs.
There have not been any foods that she has not liked so far. I am not following any schedule just giving her whatever we are eating and she seems to love it.
I love you so Hazel Magnolia.
