It's so hard to get a moment to write everyday, as I'd like to. So much happens of course, every day, and I am trying to chronicle all of it for our memories and for her if she wants to read about it someday, but time seems to pass so quickly I can't keep up. Except, of course, at 3am when she's interested in nothing but being awake. :)
On Friday, Nov 2, I laid her on her back on the couch and went to fill my coffee. When I returned, I discovered a wiggly little baby mostly rolled onto her stomach. She was in the process of eating her hands and her feet had managed to wedge themselves against the support pillow I placed on one side to keep her from rolling off the couch. She pushed herself sideways far enough that she managed to turn herself over. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised.
Then, two days later, on Sunday, I laid her on her stomach on my bed (on a foam pillow) and when I returned from the bathroom I found her on her back. At first I thought maybe a dog had jumped on the bed and rolled her over, but the I realized I'd left them outside.
Mom stayed with us for a few days again this week. This was the week she'd originally taken off (vacation) to stay with us. Her assistance (especially through the night) was most welcome. Cecily had a growth spurt at the end of last week and decided that sleep was way over rated, and eating needed to become constant. While my mom was with us, she decided to all but return to her over night sleeping schedule, but then yesterday she ate all day long and finally, after a huge glass of chamomile tea (which made her smell like chamomile after I fed her) she fell asleep. I got about a 3 hour chunk and then we were awake again... from 4am on (It's now 5pm and I have not had a chance to nap at all).
She is sleeping now, and has been most of the day; tonight should be fun.
She is wearing her "Daddy's Girl" outfit today, and she met her great grandmother today. She is grandma's 12th great grand child. Grandma Kathy is in a care facility in Boulder and we actually made the trip from CR to Boulder without stopping!
