baby status report
Sep. 7th, 2004 08:37 pmPlays hard, sleeps hard. She often goes down hard before 7 pm. But up again at 6 or 6:30 am.
In Cat vs. Casper news, Saturday the cat made a pre-emptive strike, and, when approached, batted baby about the head with very little warning. Baby was astonished and upset, though not seriously wounded - three small scratches. (Note to self - cut cat's nails more often). Three hours later, baby was again approaching cat. I hope the cat got some satisfaction out of the thing.
When we came back from MA, I cut back to only pumping once a day at work, and we supplement my milk with cow milk during the day. At first she wasn't interested, but now drinks it enthusiastically from a sippy cup - to the extent that we have to limit how much we give her or she won't eat solid food. Eating is rather erratic - her favorite food of the past few weeks (Barilla tortellini) is now entirely disdained. Tonight she ate lots of plain white rice and peas.
Nap schedule somewhat scattered now - she really wants a short mid-morning nap and a longer mid-afternoon one, but it's hard to persuade her into them if there's exciting activity. A good night is two wakings and nursings; a bad night is three; for a birthday present Sunday night she was up 5 times. It's hard work to keep her down to the good night schedule.
