Emery is learning new things every day. She is really reaching and grabbing objects on her own now - a few nights ago she grabbed my glasses off my face! Quite a surprise at 2am when all I was trying to do was feed her without dropping her. Her personality is starting to show itself more and more. Our newest issue is that she is not only on a nap strike, which has been going on for a while, but now a hunger strike. The last week or so she doesn't seem to want to eat - and it doesn't make a difference whether I'm trying to breastfeed her or she's being bottle fed. I really think the issue is that she is so alert & aware of her surroundings now that she is just not interested in calming down to eat...she wants to look around and talk. So what does this mean? She doesn't eat well during the day so she is back to waking up multiple times a night because she is hungry! We were so spoiled when she was consistently sleeping through the night or only waking once to eat - lately it's been 3 or 4 times a night, and I have had a pretty exhuasting week. I am happy to report that last night she was up only once, but I am not getting excited yet!
As usual she is keeping us on our toes! But of course we wouldn't have it any other way (except maybe with a little more sleep). Hope everyone has a great weekend!
