Lily Eating Applesauce & Oatmeal

Lily has been waking me up at night. It started off as just once a night, but last night we got up 3 times. I am exhausted! And, my babe is away for the next 10 days in California for work. We are truly a team, so I feel lost without him. He's such a great husband and father.

I decided to begin giving Lily something more than just breastmilk to eat. On Saturday, we gave her applesauce. She made a mess...as you can see below. Then, last night and tonight, I gave her some Oatmeal. I am hoping this extra food will help her sleep all night tonight. I also had my Mom give her an extra bottle with cereal in it today. I need my sleep, so I hope this works. She's still sleeping in her swing, but sadly it died. It doesn't swing anymore. I plan to transition her to her crib very soon...just not while Anson is away.

Right now she is napping. I was able to sneak in a hot shower and now I'm catching up on emails and this blog. Thank Gawd my parents have Sampson. If I had him too, I think I would go insane. It's so nice and quiet here without him, but I'm sure I won't feel the same way in a few days.

Today I had a bad day at work. My boss resigned. Her last day is Friday. I am sad. I really enjoy working with her. I am afraid of what the future brings. One day at a time.

Well, I'm going to go do a few more things before she awakes. Enjoy the video and photos. More to come this week. Anson asked me to post photos so he can see her. I will try to post one everyday so you don't miss a thing, Babe.

Saturday...eating applesauce. We tasted it, it's not that bad.

Tonight...eating Oatmeal again. She does really well with it considering. She spits it out, but she does open her mouth when the spoon comes towards her mouth. She's so smart!
