Now that Little L is eating baby food, feeding time has gotten more entertaining. She is so excited to eat, that she moves her little arms like crazy. Usually, she is a great eater and doesn't waste a bite. However, with her "crazy arms" some goes flying.
This morning, she woke up at 4:15 hungry. I wiped her nose, changed her diaper (to her giggling and smiling), and sat on the couch to feed her. For her bottles, I lean her back against my body for her to eat. This cuts down on her gassiness and reduced her spit up (most of the time). She was holding her pacifier in her right hand as I held the bottle. At one point, she pushed the bottle out of the way so that she could put the pacifier into her mouth. A minute or so later, she took it out and let the bottle go back in.
Five minutes later, she pushed the bottle out again and put the pacifier back in. I waited and waited and waited. She had fallen asleep!!! Now as a mom feeding in the middle of the night, you are faced with a question. Do you move her to her bed and risk waking her? Do you let her sleep and try to sleep sitting up yourself? After a few more minutes to ensure that she was asleep, I moved her back to her bed. I crawled into bed thinking, "I can sleep for one more hour!" I was wrong. I was wide awake and already thinking about school today (The 8th graders should be worried!).
So, I came into the living room and wrote a blog. At least I was productive with my time. :)
