wouldn't you know that the first week back as mommy would be the hardest? she's changed so much over the past month i hardly recognized her! i don't know where she gets all of her energy but i could seriously use some of it. up until two nights ago, she was waking several times a night and i had a nervous breakdown over the weekend due to lack of sleep.
don't hate me because i don't sleep
then things changed drastically. i started cutting short her naps during the day now that i'm home and then she slept through the night! well, she did wake once or twice in the beginning of the night and she does always wake at 5AM (on the dot) but no more night feedings! i've slept well the past two nights in a row and it's been blissful.
aw mommy
we also started solids two weeks ago. started off with rice cereal then peaches and today we start avocado. yum. i enjoy making baby food. it's so easy! much easier than cooking real food which is something that i don't necessarily enjoy.
mmmmm
right now she gets her food pretty much everywhere except in her mouth but it's fun none the less.
baby driver
she's growing so fast and changing everyday. just look at that picture! she's already driving (and i've had that song stuck in my head since i wrote the caption.) you know that cute pink hat that i love so much? well, she's outgrown it already. boy that's sad. all the cute things seem to fit her for a hot minute and then she's done with them. i went through her dresser the other day and found clothes that she outgrew but never got to wear!
already sitting on her own
since she's soon to be hatless and fall's approaching, i decided to knit her miss dashwood. what a darling pattern! i loved the picot cast on but that bobble border was KILLER. p4tog? torture. i had to use a crochet hook. it's cute but damn, i don't think i want to do that ever again.
new pink hat
i made the 6 month to 1 year size. thankfully, it's big on her now but i bet it will fit like a charm in about a month when the weather gets cooler. now i just have to make the earflaps and chinstrap. i love the snaps on the pink hat so i'm going to do something similar on miss dashwood.
so yeah, i'm now home. a stay at home mama? a work at home mama? both, i think. we're getting back in the swing of things here. there's more knitting to come and coding from my couch on days when i can. let's hope that things keep progressing on a steady track. i hope to update the blog more too now, but please don't hold me to it! there's lots going on behind the scenes here!
