For all the hard-core followers (I know there is at least one), this one's for you. I'm busy trying to get work done at work and work done at home, but all I really do is love and take care of Olivia. We have a dining room table full of presents to be wrapped, curtains to be ironed and re-hung, and Christmas cards to be sent. The floors need to be vacuumed and mopped and the bathrooms need to be cleaned. It's bothering me, but tonight I must work again as I will be taking some time off to go up to Kentuckiana and don't want to work while I am there. During the day Olivia consumes me. I love it--the smiles, the play, the eating, the discovery, the walks, the attempts at talking and walking and crawling. She does something new every single day and it surprises me. I'm SO glad to have this opportunity to be with her. But, I must admit that it is exhausting, especially with Nicholas working so much. He, lately, hasn't been making it home before she goes to sleep. I know he misses her and she him.
Here are a couple of videos of bath time:
And me trying a new way to get Olivia to nap. She is getting so that she fights her naps. Three naps are out now. I am lucky to get two thirty minute naps out of her.

Keep those naps going my dear {especially for YOU}. I relish Thurgood's nap time like a national holiday. I can not wait to see you & baby. :)

I've been waiting patiently for a new post all week, so thanks for appeasing me :) Isn't funny how when we are little we hate naps and when we get older we relish them? I would love to sit in a swing and nap all day!
ReplyDeleteChange is hard. You'll both adapt. She'll settle into the new routine soon. Also, if she is entertaining herself in her crib before or after she sleeps, that is good time for you also. Don't rush in there to get her if she's fine. You don't have to be with her every second she is awake if she can be relatively calm in a safe place... Also, she might fuss a little then go back to sleep. That's Christopher's pattern.
