Amelia is doing really great! She's beyond consistently sleeping through the night, for the past several weeks in fact. And REALLY sleeping through the night...from about 9:00/9:30 until we get her up to leave in the morning! It's amazing. When it comes to food, she basically eats whatever we eat, other then really spicy food, and obviously, the things she can't have yet (egg whites, true berries, nuts, honey, seafood, etc.)...and, from a milk standpoint, we are still going strong! 100% breastmilk, not a drop of formula, and I'm yet again patting myself on the back for pushing through another month. I'm not going to lie, I cannot wait to hang my pump up and not look at it again for a long, LONG time, but obviously knowing that I'm doing what's best for her, and something so important, keeps me going. Pumping 4 times day is definitely a chore though, and a major PITA, just in case there is anybody out there unaware of that! We continue trying to get her to drink water from her sippy cup, to start learning how to use it, but she just does not get it.
As I mentioned yesterday, she is starting to walk. She's very shy about it right now...today she would not walk for my mother in law, but walked several times for us at home tonight. She love to babble and hear herself "talk", but other than "mom" and "mama", she does not say any actual words. She definitely understands more and more of what we say to her though. And, she is mimicking our sounds more and more.
She is still in 6-9 month clothing (in fact, some items she wears are 3-6 month still!), and she's still in size 2 diapers. It doesn't look like she'll be moving up any time soon either. It works out well though because she just may get the chance to plow through Olivia's old summer clothes yet! You can tell she is filling out though. Slowly but surely, she is growing.
Other than that, just another standard day for us, work wise. We had two cans of formula left from Olivia that were set to expire on the 1st (yes, ick, this formula was purchased in December 2009...and is just now expiring). Christian stopped in to Target to see if he could get them to take them back...and they did! YAY for extra money! He then picked up the girls, we ate some dinner, then our friends Nate and Gini stopped over to catch up for a little while. It's hard not being able to see our friends much, like we used to, so it's always a nice treat when we get the chance to spend some time with them!
After they left, the girls were quickly put to bed, and another day came to an end. Looking forward to getting through Friday and a long weekend with the family. Hoping for some good weather so we can get out and about over the weekend!
