I'm not sure what's been in the water (or formula, more like it) lately, but we have had a fussy baby on our hands! The past few days have been pretty similar in the fact that Kennedi wakes up quite happy, has a bottle, sleeps a little more, wakes up happy again, has another bottle, stays happy for about 30 minutes, and then proceeds to go into a series of meltdowns for the rest of the day. Right at this second, knock on wood, she is in her swing quietly (with the exception of a few loud, random farts) watching ESPN. Yesterday we were both so frustrated I finally took K outside. I didn't even put on shoes, I just walked out. We walked up and down the street, and she enjoyed it. My feet, however, did not. They are still sore. Next time I'll make time to grab shoes.
Speaking of ESPN, the child watched every softball game we put her in front of. The College World Series was a couple of weeks ago, and she was starting to track things really well at that point. If she was in front of a softball game, she was happy! What can I say..like Mommy, like daughter!
We are up to about 5 ozs everytime we eat, so you know what that means..BIG BOTTLES! Ahhh..already she's growing up too fast! Sheri said we should make some 6 oz. bottles and we could make some money off of them. I guess those parents that want a slightly smaller bottle would buy them. This way they feel like their kid isn't quite growing as fast as they really are. Ignoring the inevitable! I do have to say though, this bottle is almost as big as she is!
In other baby news, K is cooing up a storm. We aren't quite at a laugh yet, but we are getting there. A few times Sheri and I have looked at each other thinking what we just heard was a laugh, but we determined it was just an exaggerated coo. :) She is holding her head up really well now, and can support her entire body weight on her legs, which isn't supposed to be happening yet apparently! We are trying to increase her tummy time, but she HATES it! She is loving sitting in her Bumbo chair though.
I, trying to be the good Mommy, have started to piece the scrapbook together. Lord have mercy, I didn't know where to start. I think I have finally organized enough, though, and have actually gotten about 5 pages done. Between Facebook and Grumpy Gills I haven't had time to do much more. Plus our printer is not printing pictures at their best quality. Needless to say, it's frustrating.
Sometimes I catch myself just staring at her. Like right now, she's just sitting over there, kicking her little legs and twirling her fingers together. I wonder what she's thinking. (She's probably thinking "Mom, seriously, I know you heard me fartin' over here..now could you please change my diaper?") Ok, I'm back...I had to change that diaper. P.U. :) All the stinkies, all the tantrums don't add up to the completeness I feel when she's lying on my chest, though. When she sleeps, the whole world is at peace. That sweet breathing is the most perfect sound in the world.
