This has been a busy week, ol' 32.
I turned 32 last Monday 17th and Kenz 32 weeks on the weekend, Sunday the 23rd.
We are thinking that was are moment of birthday twiness since I am a fall baby and her a spring. We celebrated with the new McFlurry - no jokes - it happened.
The week was more busy than an ice cream treat though.....
Sunday 23rd - 32 weeks and the girl started to speak! No surprise that the first word was Mom and it was in English. I suppose she does spend 99.99% of her day with me.
Monday 24th - still on the mom high and the babe starts to crawl. Just a few steps (steps?), or crawls forward, but it was movement and it was videoed.
Tuesday 25th - more crawls and a pull up to standing while in her crib. Although this new skill is just as awesome as the rest, it was also the most scary. Until now, the crib was a safe spot while unsupervised. Now to baby proof that as well.
Wednesday 26th - road trip and shopping spree on baby proofing items. Still need to install those. We also went for a family swim this night and not a new thing for us, it was a great swim.
This takes us to today - Thursday.....what will today bring, and the rest of the week? I am honestly hoping to see those bottom teeth soon. All of these new skills are killing the sleep at this house. She tries them 24/7. Disrupted sleep, always eating, and intense focus on the next skill leaves us all really drained.....and excited for how big she is getting.

it's all good
A quick update on the baby is needed.....where do my days go?
I think I got so much more done when she was new and I was lost to this world of motherhood, than I do now.
Maid service? - yes please!
The girl is eating up a storm. I swear she may be a giant when she grows up. She is so much bigger than her little friends. I attribute that to the great mom milk I guess. She has been eating her way through the foods of the world and so far nothing has been a miss. She likes everything, including edamame dip with cilantro and ginger. I have been cautious with the foods though, as allergies run in my family, but looking forward to her 1 yr birthday when more can be introduced.
She still nurses all the time too.....before she really wakes up at 6am, to nap at 9am and again at 1pm nap, usually around 4pm and then at 7:30 to go to bed. Add in about 500 more throughout the night. They say solids make babies sleep through the night, I say 'they' are stupid. Between teething (no teeth yet, OMG, nothing), wanting to crawl, always, ALWAYS growing and her love for me, she never sleeps more than 3 hours at night. I think I must be too awesome to stay away from for more than 3 hours. that must be it - right?
