Back to everyday life

Sofia woke me up at 6.45am, so she did very well. Mike went to work. After her brekky we read books, as we so often do in the morning these days. I really have to get to the library again and get some new ones. As soon as I was done with one she reached for another. By the end of it we had read 7 books :).

Sofia’s first nap lasted 2 hours and I got updated a bit with my blog.

After Sofia woke up and she had lunch we played together. She’s produced a few hard pebbles (poo) and it does have me worried. Been trying to get her to drink more water all day… I think I will take your advice mum and squeeze some berry juice or something in the water to see if that works… She was still in a good mood however and laughed a lot.

When I was putting her down for her second nap she had already seemed tired for 20min or so, but I really want to try and keep her up for 2 hours at the time now. I am already looking forward to two sleeps a day – or even better 3 sleeps a day. She seemed to put herself to sleep as normal, but the all of a sudden woke properly up and was just rolling around in bed. I went in after 20min thinking she could have pooed etc, but nothing. That just made it worse though, so after another 15min she’d been awake for a long time so I thought I should try and help her to sleep. She just kept yelling at me for boob, and by that stage she possibly could be hungry so I fed her and then tried to rock her to sleep. She was just squirming and kicking around so I finally just put her back to bed. I tried a dummy, but she is more interested in biting pretty much everywhere on it and playing with it. She finally lost the dummy, had a couple of whinges, and when I was just about to go in and get her back up she had a 5 second cry and fell asleep.

Sofia then slept for about 1.5 hours. When she woke up it was time for nursing, a bit of a play with Mike (that just got home) and I and then dinner. She really has a great appetite, and she even had some breast milk afterwards.

We managed to get Sofia to bed by 7pm and asleep not long after. She did however wake up after about 20min and have a roll around/ checking out the camera in her room etc before putting herself back to sleep properly.
