Sofia balanced for 5 sec by herself – and sleepless…

Sofia slept for 3 hours! Up at 7am – oh yeah I feel refreshed. I breastfed her, vacuumed whilst Mike took Pablo to the beach, and then Sofia and I had breakfast together. Sofia stood for at least 5 seconds by herself and balancing this morning! Yay! Milestone 🙂

Sofia and I then played. That is… she crawls, pulls herself up and uses me any way she can to walk and do what she wants. Then it was time for her nap. She only slept for 30min or so. The neighbours were banging away building a fence, and it was loud so I blame them. I got her back to sleep but same thing again; awake after 20min… This time I breastfed her and she fell asleep properly poor thing. I couldn’t let her sleep for long, but I didn’t have the heart to wake her straight away either. So I let her sleep for another 30-40min…

We then had lunch and played. Pablo was allowed in the same room as her a couple of times, but no longer than 20-30min as he is exhausting trying to lick her all the time. I can already seeing it getting a little bit better though, but it doesn’t help that all Sofia wants to do is stick her hand in his face. She also kept trying to take his toys, and at one stage they were both grabbing and pulling at the same toy – so funny.

It was time for her second nap and it took her about 30min to fall asleep… I managed to eat something and then I fell asleep too (for an hour), but I feel it’s almost a tease – I really need sleep at this point :(.

When I woke Sofia up it was almost time for dinner. We played a bit first, then Mike came home and I gave her dinner. Here is a video of daddy coming home 1 and continued.

We played some more. Here is a video of Pablo and Sofia being cute. Sofia walks with the rolling entertainment unit now, but I still need to hold it and push it. Here is a video of Sofia_with the walker. Then it was time for her nighttime routine. Sofia cried as we walked out the door and Mike offered to settle her (which he did). 1 hour later (8pm) she kept waking up every 10-15min until 9pm and we alternated going in to settle her. The last time she didn’t want to settle so I was there trying all methods (including boob) until I finally got her sleeping at 11pm. Hope it will keep till at least 3am.
