We made it... as much time on the outside as on the inside. Kinda a big deal, right? It's crazy to see how much growth happens in the time it also takes your body to make a baby. One year ago we were going on our babymoom to Santa Cruz. Who would have been able to imagine that a year later we would have our adorable, sunny, curious Cordelia just as she is now. Couldn't have imagined it at anywhere near as good as she turned out!
I would also have never imagined living at the double wide. I'been here so many times in the last seven years and now it's my home. Moving went well, kind of a blur. Jason came in and painted, making the place feel a little bit more "ours". We are starting to go through boxes. The living room has come together, even with a play area for Cordelia and the other rooms are making some progress. Cordelia's room is going to be so cute, and even bigger. Yes, we are enjoying so much more Space. Our apartment was always a mess, with no where to put stuff and definitely not enough room for a baby on the move. Cordelia is crawling, pulling up, standing and trying to cruise. Go go go! She finds every bit or scrap of stuff on the ground. Fortunately, she hasn't really grasped "finger food" and doesn't put everything immediately into her mouth. She's had some puffs and I'm glad to see her start to chew a bit, but she can't self feed. She got one in her mouth, but it was a fluke so far!
She is teething like crazy. Her gums are all puffy and you can see white behind the skin. Only a matter of time until some top teeth! We also have started putting a cortizone cream on her neck... finally a little improvement. Wish we'd started months ago.
New house, new bed! C is back in her crib and Jason is back in his proper bed. She starts the night in her crib. But she doesn't sleep through the night any more, being on her own. Sometimes I am able to make her lie back down and she goes back to sleep without having to be picked up, so progress! She never ever used to do that, just at the end of December. But often she hits a point of light sleep and lots of moving around. I can put her back to sleep for a couple minutes and then she stirs and cries again. I don't leave her to cry. Cordelia doesn't stop.... she just escalates.... If she doesn' go back down or it's too close to my alarm going off I just take her to bed.
She has a cold now and I'm getting it too. I hate when she is too snotty to nurse..... the ultimate tragedy.
Good luck tonight Baby C!!!
