anyway......i don't know if i should keep shoving the baby food on violet until she finally likes it, or if i should just give her teensy, barely-there pieces of whatever i'm eating and see how she does....
today she had blueberries for the first time and she was a big fan. looking for the perfect little piece to eat!
too sour!
"can you stop taking pictures of me while i eat? it's embarrassing."
delicious!
all done! (not sure why i neglected to take off the white shirt.)
(other notes for me...aka....not required reading for you! ) violet has now committed to a real crawl... no more army. and she also mastered sitting up from the crawling position. it's funny to turn around and think she's just crawling around, only to see her popped up sitting so straight waiting for some attention. she is starting to be really interested in what olivia is doing 24/7, and she will take little detours on her crawling path to go over and get right in olivia's business. sometimes olivia is okay with this, but lots of times she is not. today olivia was looking at a book with me and violet came over and rested her hands on the book for some support while she looked at it too and olivia totally pushed her hands off the book. but she did it all delicately like, "mmm. no thank you. you are not welcome here." so mean! i kind of understand though... olivia has been kind of whiny to me the past few weeks and i think she is probably just sick of violet being everywhere she is. they probably both need more individual attention i guess. ahh. anyway, back to violet. she still sleeps soooo bad at night and i'm seriously going to lose my mind. if she goes down with olivia at like 830, she will usually wake up again at like 1230, but definitely at like 330. sometimes she skips the 1230. it's like no different from when she was 2 months old?? i've been feeling sick the past week and i swear my body is shutting down from lack of sleep. i'm gearing up to let her cry it out all night sometime soon. i just feel like i need to get her solid food routine down a little better during the day so i don't feel too bad when she's screaming her head off. for the 20th time.. i did not know how easy i had it with olivia. i mean, to my credit, i was a little more organized with her whole schedule...but still... she was much easier to work with! one day bad baby will sleep through the night... and at this point, that is going to be the best night of my life!!!!!
PS- speaking of sleep, adam and i downgraded from a king to a queen in this house.. we felt like we had to because our bedroom here seemed smaller. we were wrong. a king can totally fit. worst decision of my life. we sleep bad too. we are going to have to make the switch again for our sanity but it's so annoying because it's such a waste! so combine this with the above and now you know why i am a zombie.

I guess I won't brag that Ty slept 8 hours last night. I recommend the cry it out. Best decision ever for Justin. 3 nights and it's done.
Downsizing from a king to a queen, Abbie? How could you possibly think that would be a good thing?
bless your soul for downsizing. we had to sleep on a queen this summer and i was DYING to get back to my king. jake is such a crazy sleeper...so wherever we live next, no matter what (sans dresser and all if we must), we will keep the king. it might be a hassle getting another one but you won't be thinking about it the minute adam isn't all up in your business, am i right?
this is so interesting with violet and food. goldie also has zero teeth and i really have no idea when she'll get them. she eats two jars of baby food a day plus bottles, but she's always really disliked rice cereal. i gave up on that awhile ago. it took a lot of wasted baby food and a good few days for her to really get the hang of it. i've had plenty of food spit in my face, and all over my clothes. i distract her with baby einstein and feed her as fast as i can. but yeah, so i've super nervous to give her real people food even though i know she wants it. she gags down gerber puffs because she doesn't suck on them long enough, but she can definitely pick them up and put them in her mouth. do you just give violet the tiniest pieces of bread and what not? are you not nervous because this is your second child? i just don't want her to choke! but if violet isn't choking then she probably won't either, right?
wow. this is long. sorry. i hope you get some sleep soon-- i was never good with the cry-it-out business, i can last maybe ten minutes MAX. it'll all work itself out somehow though. you're a fabulous mom, this i know.
