Yeah, yeah, yeah... I hear it all the time, "they grow so fast!" Well, I did not fully listen or appreciate the truth behind the comment, until now.
Natalie has busted out of her newborn clothes and we are on to slightly baggy 0-3 month clothes. Good thing! I was bored with those few outfits. She is also nearing the end of her snuggle nest. We have to transition once again to a new sleeping arrangement. I think the pack and play is next.
I also had an ah-ha moment today. Ever since we brought Natalie home and whenever I am home alone with her, I just can't put her down. She would get fussy with me so I would nearly starve in the rocking chair and eat snacks that I could grab with one hand. It was a rough 5+weeks. Especially when oranges are my favorite food through pregnancy and post partum and now I can't peel or cut them up with one hand! Sad.
However, we had a breakthrough yesterday. I put her down. She was awake. She didn't fuss. I didn't muss. We all accomplished things. She stared longingly at the ceiling fan and kicked her legs. I was able to eat an orange while cooking lunch. Good times! We did that again today. I was able to trim all the azalea bushes out front and clean them up while she slept. She did interrupt me three time for a snack. Major growth spurt I guess.
Photos soon to be posted.
