Avery had me up 5 times last night. i dont know how she's as smart as she is when she doesnt get any rest...she's going to keep me braindead with this lack of sleep.
last night's dinner was fun, Emily came over to my parents home and cooked spaghetti purtorican style and Avery sat on my lap while we ate. Everytime we sit down to eat dinner, my daughter acts like she's intrested in trying what we have on our plate. I pretended to give her a noodle and Avery actually swollowed some of it so we decided that maybe giving her some bananas from the banana pudding dessert would be ok
we stripped her out of her clothes and she sat on my lap in just her diaper scarffing down "nanners" and was so happy. I think that is what could have been the trouble with her sleeping lastnight. I 've read that when introducing new foods to a baby, their sleep patterns can be disturbed somehow. Thankfully there was no alergic reaction, choking or other hazard. I honestly can say , I dont know what i'm doing with this little rugrat. I'm just winging it as far as keeping her happy and fed and entertained. She's so strong and has such intrest for the world around her, i cant imagine waiting for her to turn 6 months before allowing her to sample different things. I do wish that I could get more sleep at night. the past several days have been such a joke trying to deal with her during the night while being sick. but the good news is that I think I have kicked most of this cold. I still have a mild cough that rattles in my chest, but the congestion in my head is cleared up. I recieved a phone call from Batman saying he needs for me to bring him up some medicine...isnt it ironic that I was worried about giving my cold to my baby but in reality the bozo that got to sleep through the night because "he works" is the one that caught what i had. Guess maybe I need to change the sheets in the bed :) there must be some bug lurking in between them.
and the most intresting and exciting thing that is going on these past few days is my blogfriend patty http://wingedfox.blogspot.com/ is bringing her baby into the world as we speak. Shes' been held up at the hospital since monday and they started the pitocin this morning. soon we will know if her baby taco is a he or she. Such a suprise for such a great girl. just hanging around the phone waiting to hear the good news.

I have 3 children, and I still feel like I'm winging it :) Does your doc recomend waiting till 6 months for all baby food other than cerel? Seems like baby food friut and veggies should be ok sooner than that. And if you can give her baby food, table food fruit/veggies are ok too. Hope Batman feels better soon!

Oh congratulations to Patty!

You know, you just gave me the willies talking about bed sheets. On the Today Show this morning, they had a germ specialist on there talking about what really lives in our beds. REALLY creeped me out! I'm going home & changing my sheets! I wonder if it will help my allergies ~ he said that the germs hurt us if we have allergies or we're sick.

EEEK!

I started solids at 4 months old and spred the new stuff apart between 4 days that is what my dr said to do because it take up to that long to make sure therer is no reaction she is abviously ready and it is not hurting her. she is probably sleepless cause she feals your stress or like you siad your milk supply is low so maybe she is hungry.

jeez, my daughter gets me out of bed several times a night and she hasn't even started on solids yet. But I've bought the baby rice and plan to start in a week or two. I was hoping solids would make her sleep better, not worse!

6 months??? Wow! I was giving ours that stage 1 baby food, rice cereal and other soft stuff when she was 3 months old so I could get sleep at night, and to make her happy. She's healthier than I am to this day and she's 8. The doctors don't know jack!!
