Happy Easter

Wow what a difference a year makes.

This time last year I was pregnant - although I did not tell anyone I was still pregnant. Now I have a cute little 5 1/2 month old baby girl.

Wow --


Reflections of the past few months:

Moved to MI when baby was just 2 weeks old

Settled in to new house

Holidays -

Then came the new year

Went back to work

Now a mommy to a 5 1/2 month little girl.

Spring came -- but yet it still feels like winter. Last week it snowed approx 7".


Genevieve has started to sleep a little better - we had some issues where she wouldn't sleep (lasted about 2 weeks).

She would wake up all the time - come unswaddled and cry.



I would reswaddle her and put her back to sleep.

A few weeks ago she started to sleep a little more still waking through the night. The other night she slept from 9:00 pm to 6:30 am. She did that 2 nights then started to wake up again in the middle of the night.

Last night -- it was rough - she woke up almost every hour. Just as I would get back to sleep she would wake up. I made hubby get up and take care of her at 3:30 this am.

Ever since she started to roll over she would wake more in the night and cry.

I have been letting her cry a few minutes - she has been putting her self back to sleep.

She is still breaking out of her swaddler but I have started to wrap her differently which has helped.


On the Food front - about a month ago we tried cereal (per Dr. advice). It appears G. wasn't ready for it yet, so we waited a week tried again, still not ready waited again another week. Now she was ready. She just gobbled it right up. She ate cereal for a few weeks and then we started her on "orange" veggies. She had squash first she finally ate the entire container . I think it took her 4 meal times to do so.

She now is eating sweet potatoes and loves them. Her latest trick to blow raspberries with a mouth full of sweet potatoes.. Nice -- glad daddy is feeding her not me.


Well this will be her first Easter - and yes she has gone and seen the Easter bunny. She went 2 times. The first was at the city sponsored Easter bunny hop. The 2nd was at the mall -- with her uncle. She didn't seem to have an opinion either way. She didn't cry or smile but she was ok with it.



Well have a Happy Easter..



The bed is calling my name.
