We haven't walked as much (her walking with her stroller or walks with her in her stroller) with the cold because I just can't get her to keep those dang gloves on! Or a blanket over her if she takes them off. I've started to be able to get her to wear a pair of my cotton gloves, so big on her little hands, but it's something! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then there was the afternoon back in January where she refused to nap and then fell asleep in the stroller at almost 4 p.m. as we walked home from picking the big kids up from school. That's one way to get her to keep the blanket and gloves on!

I already dread the day when those blessed naps come to an end, but we'll deal with that when it comes :). I usually put her down around 12:30 (give or take) and she takes a solid 2 hour nap, sometimes a little more. She's also a pretty solid 7 to 7 sleeper. Lately she will talk or kick around in her bed for awhile after we put her down, so who knows when she actually falls asleep, but we put her down around 7. In the morning she'll do the same until we come get her. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh the bottle. I really need to help her ditch the bottle but she loves it and I just haven't wanted to fight that battle. The first thing she says when she wakes up for the day or from nap is "wilk" while also signing it. I've given her a sippy cup with "wilk" a few times and it's definitely not the "wilk" she is attached to, it's what it comes in. I gotta just do it... and someday maybe I will, haha.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiAi8EM7dOgjC8pcKoORYpR7jLWitwfY0GSe2W218MGHotBHKfxHB-I4iFXYFXdrpORcXETsnmD0jVj9l2mK-Nm2Jk2iODwfDlL1TnXaQwqD2sqPWR-oxgKzE2ErH36saAYf2HbofhuJshjWyUElspwMT7IBjpxZIphX-Uqhu2MMWzrhl4aijkL0UC=s3840" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="3840" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiAi8EM7dOgjC8pcKoORYpR7jLWitwfY0GSe2W218MGHotBHKfxHB-I4iFXYFXdrpORcXETsnmD0jVj9l2mK-Nm2Jk2iODwfDlL1TnXaQwqD2sqPWR-oxgKzE2ErH36saAYf2HbofhuJshjWyUElspwMT7IBjpxZIphX-Uqhu2MMWzrhl4aijkL0UC=w640-h360" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Other habits that might not be considered the finest...

She likes to read a few books, turn on her sound machine, turn on and then off the light, shut the door and then we cuddle in the rocking chair. I used to always sing her You'll Be In My Heart from Tarzan, but now she thinks it's fun to yell "No!" when I start that song, then I go through a slew of church songs, just the first few words, and her yelling "No!" until I get to one where we she doesn't yell "No!", will let me keep singing, then points at her crib and I lay her down. Lately she will stop saying "No!" when I start singing How Far I'll Go from Moana or Circle of Life from Lion King (that's always interesting at the start, haha!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Speaking of The Circle of Life, it is our favorite to turn on the video of that song and watch Emery watch it. When Rafiki holds up Simba, she will hold up Wolfa with a big smile on her face. Sometimes we grab her and hold her up for that part and she loves it. If comes on in the car, she will hold up whatever she has around her, a book or cup. It's adorable. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhB2N8VLCmDSoosT6wVDQ433OMXvbBKTLDPixNMK13S6zCR8nVs3klATCimWP-ZSKVdMCj5mQopqcDx4fm9WKndzUZq_l9q7oYO0LfY6a4qQqRxms2VqNpesU8c73-LxqhPHFqo3pAqYF5D00zlSQPVVAIJZgUdaYFclMbL5q8yf_No-fOqvRidfErL=s3264" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhB2N8VLCmDSoosT6wVDQ433OMXvbBKTLDPixNMK13S6zCR8nVs3klATCimWP-ZSKVdMCj5mQopqcDx4fm9WKndzUZq_l9q7oYO0LfY6a4qQqRxms2VqNpesU8c73-LxqhPHFqo3pAqYF5D00zlSQPVVAIJZgUdaYFclMbL5q8yf_No-fOqvRidfErL=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She has the cutest little shoulder shrug/head down look when she is sad about something.

Oh it's such a hard and scary moment for me!

Babies/toddlers change so much in such a short period of time! Even though some of the things that I want to document aren't things that she still does a lot today, documenting nonetheless.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My biggest take away as I look through these pictures is just how gosh darn clingy (to me) she has become. She used to play and slide and put things in containers to entertain herself. Not for long, but for awhile. Nowadays it just feels like I am always trying to peel her off of me so that I can get something done. Like, literally, she wraps her legs around me when I try to put her down like so:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEghJpow8dyoA-EkyR8LiKQXzXITOik_xPdyB-eSk4Ujccsg9hrZaKk2CiHCb1pySA5nwQKmOKueGvGY6gXM1kdIIMTCJ5G414IVeAx-ngHHCCCnSS6MOGKknctqeMpEdsJxUiBp8ttCECdYf4cRJT6RLgRXfM52nBBMA9BrWFR3cln4aKQRl9fcxTDC=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEghJpow8dyoA-EkyR8LiKQXzXITOik_xPdyB-eSk4Ujccsg9hrZaKk2CiHCb1pySA5nwQKmOKueGvGY6gXM1kdIIMTCJ5G414IVeAx-ngHHCCCnSS6MOGKknctqeMpEdsJxUiBp8ttCECdYf4cRJT6RLgRXfM52nBBMA9BrWFR3cln4aKQRl9fcxTDC=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Even when we are outside, or on the couch, she can usually be found climbing on me.

I love seeing how she understands simple commands like "shut the door" or "put this in the trash." I love seeing how the things of the world begin to click for her, like when she is done with her bottle she often times runs over to fridge and will put it in for later. She gets excited to run to the sink with her plate or bowl and reach up to push them in. Or when I peel a clementine for her she will grunt and point at the peelings until I hand them to her and she will run them to the trash.

With that said, she does have a thing for destroying board books. Mostly when she is in the car, probably bored and tired of being strapped in. She bends them until they break apart or figures out a way to peel the paper off of them. It's actually pretty impressive. We've got a fine collection of "car books" that stay in the car that I don't mind her destroying (mostly because they are already destroyed! ha!)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsOH-RpAeWOGMoX3aLKjF03ao4ldBBoKLsW8ulNnPT7jZyjWQHFtRoi9om3FgjYO7C9XoGUYukYnqowoltpT0HIvxmVX7uWwXyHbbg8mxoKflqEmlbfpQUaOPSHRWjJWWvhlVe3KaQd4FmUCAk2ARyBTeceepe0DA3UJPGC1grkNDsWxaTzlwWsGC5=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsOH-RpAeWOGMoX3aLKjF03ao4ldBBoKLsW8ulNnPT7jZyjWQHFtRoi9om3FgjYO7C9XoGUYukYnqowoltpT0HIvxmVX7uWwXyHbbg8mxoKflqEmlbfpQUaOPSHRWjJWWvhlVe3KaQd4FmUCAk2ARyBTeceepe0DA3UJPGC1grkNDsWxaTzlwWsGC5=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg72B1gIhag_yzeCIXyU8L7qWYc0Gq9u4a85uqORnzfnhvrqbmvwUc7Ux6sq7g9RFLHnj2iYwDbnDwIW-qoepbi9FqErtDNHB042-njhk4tR4Muqcl_0vM_YzB3T8ohFg8RQTm0RIIGe3DPs3nJwZ6lI0Rm2yT5RX0p_RvkQ55_SH4iPFK6roG1o7uW=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg72B1gIhag_yzeCIXyU8L7qWYc0Gq9u4a85uqORnzfnhvrqbmvwUc7Ux6sq7g9RFLHnj2iYwDbnDwIW-qoepbi9FqErtDNHB042-njhk4tR4Muqcl_0vM_YzB3T8ohFg8RQTm0RIIGe3DPs3nJwZ6lI0Rm2yT5RX0p_RvkQ55_SH4iPFK6roG1o7uW=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgL34amywcj0A_zN8dEYgkELrK9q684fXoXsgeSmC5gNan0aMSHQobU-qEZmZpiDWPRDVwPbob_g9BxtrkOTL_9P4brsfEMCAGAMmRLiY7B_SERejUjfs8y4OSFFWAVvdwu2gHlznjhRRs40d1v144RR1cVDvvGD9tlQa94o53WupzM7Cfdhk1QXCrV=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgL34amywcj0A_zN8dEYgkELrK9q684fXoXsgeSmC5gNan0aMSHQobU-qEZmZpiDWPRDVwPbob_g9BxtrkOTL_9P4brsfEMCAGAMmRLiY7B_SERejUjfs8y4OSFFWAVvdwu2gHlznjhRRs40d1v144RR1cVDvvGD9tlQa94o53WupzM7Cfdhk1QXCrV=s320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She went through a phase where Wolfa had to be tucked in to the blanket with her.

I cherish our one-on-one time. I only got a short bit of that one-on-one with Shae before Belen was born and then sweet Belen has had Shae by her side just about her entire life, which has been special and wonderful in other ways, but I really do love our Mommy-Emmy time.

Poor confused baby in the bathtub in the middle of the night.

She had started sleeping through the night and we got to enjoy it for about a week before she started standing up on her own and in her crib, and then she got sick with a bad fever for a few days, and then she had teeth popping up, then we had family in town and rooms were switched up a bit and then our cross country move...all that to say, she wakes once or twice a night most nights.

Darin called me as I was getting off work on the second day to say that he was on the way to the clinic because her fever was almost up to 104. The doctor checked her out and said that it seemed to be a virus of some sort (not Covid as they checked for that. Poor girl has had move Covid tests than I have) and to bring her back if the fever didn't go down in a day. Thankfully, the fever did subside and she started to have a bit more energy. It just feels so scary to have a sick baby! They can't explain what they are feeling and you just don't know what it is! While it was really hard to see her so lethargic, it was also really sweet to have pretty much two days of straight cuddles with her (gave me a good excuse to take a break from packing and sit down!) She's always on the move these days, so it was crazy to have her sit on our laps so calm and then to just fall asleep on and off all throughout the day. Poor girl. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpGEPBEqaPQQhaUSfaTfUrYyRjulojlVOebfMKZOOlwidJovw932_GFOmf8yX31yME4JtO9oEfp2JOdNSDJJPz7-vx2Xt6oYvSfbvUfMHvJVaN4hXbNdx4gNe6DgxmPUsmYxIQUevKf1Q/s2048/PXL_20210329_134309110.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpGEPBEqaPQQhaUSfaTfUrYyRjulojlVOebfMKZOOlwidJovw932_GFOmf8yX31yME4JtO9oEfp2JOdNSDJJPz7-vx2Xt6oYvSfbvUfMHvJVaN4hXbNdx4gNe6DgxmPUsmYxIQUevKf1Q/w480-h640/PXL_20210329_134309110.MP.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGavZrF_Y8RT0szFPtBRDQ5I5O8q3B2hHca79PtnQCPNkgQfqJAHkjR0KvdDt_-faVlpokM8axDqNgSZBNlhEQrLqHFcc1FdaxXzH7gQONYyU9ZkfZyS0APqOOa6qCfpiRKBnYalOtd8Q/s2048/PXL_20210329_160331670.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGavZrF_Y8RT0szFPtBRDQ5I5O8q3B2hHca79PtnQCPNkgQfqJAHkjR0KvdDt_-faVlpokM8axDqNgSZBNlhEQrLqHFcc1FdaxXzH7gQONYyU9ZkfZyS0APqOOa6qCfpiRKBnYalOtd8Q/w480-h640/PXL_20210329_160331670.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>We had some rough nights with her waking up a lot, she seemed to only want to sleep if we were holding her, so we took turns on the couch with her.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdzRG238eo7g52njtQpc7k4gldTsihYhEslI504eYmRB3ALXidL17mfIIybhlG8PJdp0PN2Riziplwzi1deRxJot7NdzcSekhZTkZmgtESY1seemPuYWXhiVH7EJPtSVNf1-yoX0-TqRY/s2048/PXL_20210331_113535503.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdzRG238eo7g52njtQpc7k4gldTsihYhEslI504eYmRB3ALXidL17mfIIybhlG8PJdp0PN2Riziplwzi1deRxJot7NdzcSekhZTkZmgtESY1seemPuYWXhiVH7EJPtSVNf1-yoX0-TqRY/w480-h640/PXL_20210331_113535503.MP.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6Sawwr38duEveXD4_WRXvQ2x0xS4KEIvciGj3zulYBb6lanNWaa0ah3JM9oY6PKHY_bCoyt76hmG4ZeoaXvscwW9TEitQbe4nr8k1PfOYz0JW80_rkcrmo-WLaNwlHgcvqw9ZA7CPFk/s2048/PXL_20210331_121421845.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6Sawwr38duEveXD4_WRXvQ2x0xS4KEIvciGj3zulYBb6lanNWaa0ah3JM9oY6PKHY_bCoyt76hmG4ZeoaXvscwW9TEitQbe4nr8k1PfOYz0JW80_rkcrmo-WLaNwlHgcvqw9ZA7CPFk/w640-h360/PXL_20210331_121421845.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It seemed like she started standing over night.

She started sleeping through the night, but then had the hardest time going down at night for a few days and just cried and cried which was really unusual for her (but like I said, she was doing that during naps too so I think there was more going on), and she also started to wake at 6:15 a.m. on the dot every single day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then Daylights Savings happened and all her little milestones and she started waking around 5 a.m., I started nursing her to get her back to sleep again hoping it would only last a couple days, but it lasted a couple of weeks and I just didn't want that night/early morning feeding to keep going (so ready to be done with the exhaustion of consistent night wakings), so we did another round of "cry it out" this week and she is now sleeping through the night, going down between 7-8 at night (depending on her last nap of the day) and waking around 7 each day and it is GLORIOUS. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know people have strong feelings about "cry it out" sleep training, but I honestly don't know how to do it any other way. But also, waited this long because it really is hard to hear your baby cry for a good hour or longer for a couple of nights. Thankfully, both rounds with her and our other two looked like a lot of crying the first night (a little over an hour), about half that the second night, and then the third night and on SLEEP. Just got to break that habit of expecting someone to come in. It's amazing that they really can learn to put themselves back to sleep on their own. Darin did still go in both the first two nights to lay her back down, or sing a quick song to her, more so to check on her and give me the peace of mind that she really is okay. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJxO7JRFTdq2iEHUcektcpoI4WywbscNefDvg8VkzF_3mkYsVe7U1ExKLpAHSVfprrZGWC67Hub7GVWY91RW7lq52QMI3YlvN54hrQ5eKJvUnpEjJuIlNaVYnVIOQTF3vk3PEVWkR30g/s2048/PXL_20210324_145431138.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJxO7JRFTdq2iEHUcektcpoI4WywbscNefDvg8VkzF_3mkYsVe7U1ExKLpAHSVfprrZGWC67Hub7GVWY91RW7lq52QMI3YlvN54hrQ5eKJvUnpEjJuIlNaVYnVIOQTF3vk3PEVWkR30g/w480-h640/PXL_20210324_145431138.MP.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Selling our lovely double stroller (which we never use with just Emery) and so sad about it.

I always feel like there are so many things that we want to do, but then December flies by leaving me feeling like there were still things on my check list that we didn't get around to. This year, along with our 25 Days of Christ, we did one activity together, as a family, each day. Most were simple things, like sing favorite Christmas carols, make paper snowflakes, read a favorite Christmas book, but there were a few "bigger" gifts of togetherness as well that we really enjoyed. I loved doing this and by Christmas felt very satisfied with all the lead-up-to-Christmas fun we had (honestly, I was pretty exhausted by the end and ready to stop looking forward to something to do each day, ha!

This part of the experience was really hard for me, I was just so tired after the long day and confused as to what was going on and why I wasn't being put in a room with a crib. My arms were tired and my poor baby was restless. I had to tell the story of what happened to about 12 different people (after having already told the story to 12 different people in Ithaca). I felt like I was getting different information from everyone. At midnight, a doctor came in and told me that since she was acting mostly normal, they might just have us go home and I was like, WHAT? I didn't have a car with me since we were sent in an ambulance thinking we'd be staying the night, and it was MIDNIGHT. I called Darin to see who we could have come stay with the big kids while he drove the hour to come get us. Not too long after I was told they would admit us so that they could monitor her through the night. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4BPgKoigauUjCF233JU6b8mgB2HoqU_uXp6A_rCH_HVXnDOsm-LXQJXyHT0TgGgommpCq2wkju9fczpOanaHpDSpPwAovd6sapHardJ-kXdjADnhC5ICanqlb8w5u7m5W6JTxVNDswY/s2048/PXL_20210213_001037472.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4BPgKoigauUjCF233JU6b8mgB2HoqU_uXp6A_rCH_HVXnDOsm-LXQJXyHT0TgGgommpCq2wkju9fczpOanaHpDSpPwAovd6sapHardJ-kXdjADnhC5ICanqlb8w5u7m5W6JTxVNDswY/w480-h640/PXL_20210213_001037472.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was so happy to finally have a place to put her down. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0j3vMtUMlPlbWp9wlpdq0HSq2flMzgaQckXyPb-nt7KjaoHaUH0Cs-jOfNlYA7fwUTly6hVK_xpvnNMiUNmBuBlQFRKaJvDmhaHpkAVvi1MGQtnf7o_0tkPgMAsbnFD4U4ihzb3lNPlw/s2048/PXL_20210213_125030004.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0j3vMtUMlPlbWp9wlpdq0HSq2flMzgaQckXyPb-nt7KjaoHaUH0Cs-jOfNlYA7fwUTly6hVK_xpvnNMiUNmBuBlQFRKaJvDmhaHpkAVvi1MGQtnf7o_0tkPgMAsbnFD4U4ihzb3lNPlw/w480-h640/PXL_20210213_125030004.MP.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We were discharged the next morning, Darin came up and grabbed us.

It was a rough week (on Shae's birthday no less), but we somehow got through and are so so grateful that she is back to herself. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jscH_3WvlheodqUYT9J1kSjYPSwcz7MOT8LtMk6XoW1IGjYHCn5KSLjUgNKuY7MU8QeI84gwRFYi8bergHfrWr4gqazqJE2hGPBqwBVTRznapazJZdZUCN8bqL_edrf4l93JMszCa6s/s4032/PXL_20210222_133138990.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jscH_3WvlheodqUYT9J1kSjYPSwcz7MOT8LtMk6XoW1IGjYHCn5KSLjUgNKuY7MU8QeI84gwRFYi8bergHfrWr4gqazqJE2hGPBqwBVTRznapazJZdZUCN8bqL_edrf4l93JMszCa6s/w480-h640/PXL_20210222_133138990.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNMLW1_5nbxgi_9GIRWBdY024-VlRQn9zOLhylRgKA1WegB2RX2z8ALN7YYqM93p6h93FZKKzM_pFxS9M4doBzTxhvRR9Dpkx6FLGf64H6CUZghhWHvSjXymNnP4Bgs_ifEPDspxMJig/s2048/PXL_20210223_163116538.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNMLW1_5nbxgi_9GIRWBdY024-VlRQn9zOLhylRgKA1WegB2RX2z8ALN7YYqM93p6h93FZKKzM_pFxS9M4doBzTxhvRR9Dpkx6FLGf64H6CUZghhWHvSjXymNnP4Bgs_ifEPDspxMJig/w480-h640/PXL_20210223_163116538.MP.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let the bow search begin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_oMyYBSUxsmac6BRP823ozl7jdXF-BcwLZcrzaz8B_MKCckw5Ng5bgbZlAt6tv10Ni32c9naPd2q8w1x_1kGJMT6LrqKvrHD3jRVJ2-9aKfVnOCEz4IYaS8zFRLRg6a0iG1-sQZMj5H8/s2048/PXL_20210223_163137874.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_oMyYBSUxsmac6BRP823ozl7jdXF-BcwLZcrzaz8B_MKCckw5Ng5bgbZlAt6tv10Ni32c9naPd2q8w1x_1kGJMT6LrqKvrHD3jRVJ2-9aKfVnOCEz4IYaS8zFRLRg6a0iG1-sQZMj5H8/w480-h640/PXL_20210223_163137874.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p>Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12811218079972421372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424184461417679952.post-91277505821843993162021-01-25T09:25:00.000-07:002021-01-25T09:25:03.594-07:009 Months<p style="text-align: center;">Baby girl was not so excited about our photo shoot this month. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge0vJIRVpD6JIpcDOlfhh5VR5lSajqjMIqM_UKap34230S9ioZGau1JlPhm7MWSbAsFn16ibS-15kyPwtpaYpYtUM3TkZSLuNpv9NxwB13bLuhk5TkuZ3orn7tsVLtQFDytPr2OQVFNqI/s2048/PXL_20210123_153811921.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge0vJIRVpD6JIpcDOlfhh5VR5lSajqjMIqM_UKap34230S9ioZGau1JlPhm7MWSbAsFn16ibS-15kyPwtpaYpYtUM3TkZSLuNpv9NxwB13bLuhk5TkuZ3orn7tsVLtQFDytPr2OQVFNqI/w480-h640/PXL_20210123_153811921.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="480" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigS1TZd59FgZ1xDRV8k5CT8HTER4GTXhPiJwRzUd2mS6-tQN0h1YuAqP_vxCbU4hFKNuSwzKa3tPZwiaHmdruh11TlTAs7IoYt5Q6w6V1Fl3lGqr4JwF_E1L0hw9NzM6HckoAZY4ExyVY/s2048/PXL_20210123_153845238.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigS1TZd59FgZ1xDRV8k5CT8HTER4GTXhPiJwRzUd2mS6-tQN0h1YuAqP_vxCbU4hFKNuSwzKa3tPZwiaHmdruh11TlTAs7IoYt5Q6w6V1Fl3lGqr4JwF_E1L0hw9NzM6HckoAZY4ExyVY/w480-h640/PXL_20210123_153845238.jpg" width="480" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Maybe she was cold?

About 2 weeks ago it got to the point where she was waking up every hour or two and I was dying, so last week our plan was to have Darin go in and help her back to sleep in order to help her not expect to nurse all through the night. We also turned up our fan (white noise) and just let her cry a bit more. It seems to have worked for now and she is back to just waking once around 4 a.m. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just in the past week she's also been doing this thing where she will go down at 7:30ish for bed, but then within 5 minutes start crying and crying until we come and then she looks up at us wide awake. Instead of going through the fight of getting her back to sleep, we've just brought her out into the living room to hang out with us and around 9 put her back down. It's so weird, but has also meant she's slept in until 8 most days this week, which for a vacation week, I'll take it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2n55CMC1Kq62fFAjMHZ3fIUCwPhpZ-MtO2dOYFlvrUyC-nxqMISRmbnxfH7NVrpz9eb_ID-WeX3TXXiWbawZ00lxM-4YQaemcD5z57oPerfoFowgBBw8yBbwXVefMd95uQF13qkDN9g/s2048/PXL_20201205_031840237.NIGHT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2n55CMC1Kq62fFAjMHZ3fIUCwPhpZ-MtO2dOYFlvrUyC-nxqMISRmbnxfH7NVrpz9eb_ID-WeX3TXXiWbawZ00lxM-4YQaemcD5z57oPerfoFowgBBw8yBbwXVefMd95uQF13qkDN9g/w480-h640/PXL_20201205_031840237.NIGHT.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Loves hangin' with her sibs. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn6kKSd1o1CMjKWkSf4fGXLZTQNuYRgOKRSbVVbLfkaXLa9hSR2ZVd8btOpa1wAPfY4jWexdI1LywiQX1fC8vLwm3XcFhmqZDKrecC_tqtEMZYWMhvjA6CoOIUOtxOsZkqOlD-WN3Wj-I/s2048/PXL_20201205_144949230.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn6kKSd1o1CMjKWkSf4fGXLZTQNuYRgOKRSbVVbLfkaXLa9hSR2ZVd8btOpa1wAPfY4jWexdI1LywiQX1fC8vLwm3XcFhmqZDKrecC_tqtEMZYWMhvjA6CoOIUOtxOsZkqOlD-WN3Wj-I/w640-h360/PXL_20201205_144949230.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She eats just about anything we put in front of her, which at this point, is generally whatever we are eating.

Jokes on them because I don't think they realize that they are often the same. They will be happily coloring, reading, or playing, but the second I walk in the "I'm hungry!" "I'm thirsty!" "I want you to play with me!" begins. They don't do it AS much as they've gotten older and have gotten used to their awesome dad taking care of them a lot more with me working, but it's always funny to think about what they really "see" when they see me.

Our neighborhood did a little costume parade around the loop. A lot of different families put pre-packaged candy bags out for the kids and cheered us on as we marched along. It was really fun! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Last Halloween we all decided that we wanted to do a Princess in Black theme for this year. We were a bit bummed we didn't have our normal church Halloween party to show off our costumes, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. <span style="text-align: left;">Belén was the star of the show, the Princess in Black herself. I was Princess Sneezewort. Darin was Blackie, the pony. Emmy was our little monster in monster land. Shae was going to be the Goat Avenger for our church Halloween party and Pikachu for real trick or treating, and since we didn't have the party, there was no convincing him to be the Goat Avenger, which was fine. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Not sure that much (if any) has made it's way down, but it's been fun to watch her reactions as she sticks something in her mouth and sucks on it a bit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivykMBJuiZkAgQ_PW96JqkmugjnZTjOwma9pMBFPeqbfEIXR1RM-t7d-XJ1fOQyLugYTQ55qY3JJdB28h3s8seW6T3rO1xvKyfHfWNCSQiTR6ZKSG6j2xJMtAnQpuX2oA9LrvBMwe-8I0/s2048/MVIMG_20201019_181234.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivykMBJuiZkAgQ_PW96JqkmugjnZTjOwma9pMBFPeqbfEIXR1RM-t7d-XJ1fOQyLugYTQ55qY3JJdB28h3s8seW6T3rO1xvKyfHfWNCSQiTR6ZKSG6j2xJMtAnQpuX2oA9LrvBMwe-8I0/w480-h640/MVIMG_20201019_181234.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdS766FU-ULfdNjzO0wl2DWLSwJHbCYEBwGAFPzXGNEUGRfpR-XD7NBGDmHDQ7OewE_jqSN6pYAOe9T2mVvjSrwJS7TPziiZsG0iRFdwz29k57qDTIUbRR6YHij2uTPkRPAaSYB1RvJlM/s2048/IMG_20201019_181129.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdS766FU-ULfdNjzO0wl2DWLSwJHbCYEBwGAFPzXGNEUGRfpR-XD7NBGDmHDQ7OewE_jqSN6pYAOe9T2mVvjSrwJS7TPziiZsG0iRFdwz29k57qDTIUbRR6YHij2uTPkRPAaSYB1RvJlM/w640-h360/IMG_20201019_181129.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl0DdcnxhvTQxfS4qr7ZOkH8wV_GbH7O3BM7QevEXMCpNUjGsVlF8ZjsLPCDOYLtQUlJm1N3l1wi7j4tdq3es_AnoxdYDNisd4r9FgS3eWgBANXLEpE3HbAWWB3EWgPPClcpMfSwCfJGA/s2048/IMG_20201018_185845.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1723" data-original-width="2048" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl0DdcnxhvTQxfS4qr7ZOkH8wV_GbH7O3BM7QevEXMCpNUjGsVlF8ZjsLPCDOYLtQUlJm1N3l1wi7j4tdq3es_AnoxdYDNisd4r9FgS3eWgBANXLEpE3HbAWWB3EWgPPClcpMfSwCfJGA/w640-h538/IMG_20201018_185845.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>She can ALMOST sit on her own.

It lets her arms have more freedom, but still has the tightness of a swaddle and helps calm the startle reflex that so often wakes babies up. <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">The first time we used it, I hated it. Having her arms up by her cheeks just seemed to wake her up. But we stuck with it for a couple nights and it has been amazing. Maybe it was just coincidence, but around the time we switched swaddles, she began to need less and less help going to sleep. We were able to put her down in her crib knowing that she would fall asleep on her own, and sometimes even soothe herself back to sleep after waking up.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd68jOmq1u-fNOIIE33E4oT1K8ZkhF_RqsrFq8bS3i3EYjAc3kMjKt6VsaiLm2l7L5AhqvH2MXRHKQs7ywbXi8I0AeM_SVkHcrWmyhjFE74ufSxrSzC-n4_mouGsvNQEjIHvy4-7N2kuM/s2048/IMG_20200804_165455.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd68jOmq1u-fNOIIE33E4oT1K8ZkhF_RqsrFq8bS3i3EYjAc3kMjKt6VsaiLm2l7L5AhqvH2MXRHKQs7ywbXi8I0AeM_SVkHcrWmyhjFE74ufSxrSzC-n4_mouGsvNQEjIHvy4-7N2kuM/s640/IMG_20200804_165455.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She finally has a predictable bedtime! Which is SO NICE. She usually goes down right around 8 p.m. with the other kids.
