October 5th- 11th
Caroline had been a great sleeper, even in her new room by herself. She is now, however, getting tooth # 9, so sleep is something that we will all just have to live without. Coupled with the fact that her brothers are both sick, meaning it is only a matter of time before the yucky cold moved on to her, we are not planning to sleep wonderfully anytime soon, but that is the season we are in.
This week, playing has been job number one on Caroline's list. She is starting to gravitate towards toys that she had not paid attention to before, with the exception of her baby dolls. She has also become much more interested in reading books, and having me sing to her. We have spent many afternoons sitting in the living room reading Little Lamb, Madeline, Touch and Feel Farm, or Snow White, or singing The Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, or Jesus Loves Me.
Her schedule is getting more predictable. She has settled into a short morning nap, longer afternoon nap, bottle around 9am and a bottle around 1pm. We are trying to wean her bottles, but they are already down to 4 oz, so there isn't much more to take away. We are also working on finding the right sippy cup, but we have not come across one that she really likes...yet. She is doing a great job at eating table foods, and rarely scoffs at what is put in front of her. Some of her favorites right now are: cheese, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, PBJ, cooked carrots and cooked potatoes.
