Bad mom, I know...

I have been horrible about keeping this up. It has been a little difficult as Maeby is demanding lots more of my time, so I've had to forgo updates. But, now that I have a moment, let me just inform you of the latest stuff:

--She tolerates dairy now. Yay! This makes my life SOOO much easier.

--She has learned to grasp, grab, put things in her mouth, squeal, giggle, scream and has ALMOST learned to roll from her back to her front. She hates tummy time, so I'm not sure if she can roll from front to back, but I'm pretty sure she could if she'd let me do tummy time with ehr for more than a few minutes without getting mad.

--Still teething, but no teeth. The pain seems to come and go.

--Started offering her little bits of rice cereal. She seems to enjoy it, although yesterday after a particularly energetic feeding, she redeposited the cereal on my shoulder an hour later. At Boston market the other day, I gave her a tiny amount of sweet potatoes, and she responded very well to those. If she could have yelled, "YUM, Mom! Gimme more!" I think she would have.

--She has grown out of half her wardrobe already. LOL! At last weight, which was about a week ago, she was 15 lbs.

--She is close to moving up to size 3 diapers already! Fat legs. :-)

--Geoffrey the Giraffe is still her very favorite toy, although she really enjoys being in her exersaucer and will gladly entertain herself for short periods of time (roughly 10-20 minutes depending on her mood and the time of day).

Maeby is still co-sleeping with us...although I have been trying to get her to stay in her co-sleeper at night, she usually wakes within three hours and won't return to her own bed after her feeding without a LOT of fuss. I figure we need our sleep, so since she's still little and feeding roughly every two to three hours, it won't hurt to keep her in bed with us for a little while longer, until the feedings back off a bit. I can't wait to have my bed back to myself, though! She's a bed HOG. Worse than her father!!

Hope this finds everyone well. Will try and keep updating as I can!
