In the beginning I was so scared of forming unbreakable habits, that...
I can count on one hand the amount of times I rocked my girl to sleep/held her while she was sleeping. And while I am so so thankful that she can fall asleep by herself in her crib - I sometimes wish she loved cuddling and would fall asleep while rocking with Dan or I.
I never wanted to use the swing "too often" in case she got dependent on it, so now she can't stand it for more than 5 minutes... which is really unfortunate when I am trying to get dinner on and cannot be in two places at once.
I didn't want to confuse her and give her a bottle before 6 weeks for fear that she wouldn't nurse properly afterwards (thanks for the terrible advice prenatal class)... now my darling won't take a bottle at all. So much for date nights !
Well those are just a few of the things I'll probably try to do differently next time (Lord willing there is a next time).
We are still enjoying the challenges and blessings that come with a little life, and look forward to the months to come and all the "firsts" that come with them !
Here are some photos from the last month.
Our first family swim. Adele loved it! |
Love these sweet moccasins, even if they are too big in the foot and too small in the calves ! |
Sweater from aunt amy and uncle tyler - love the elbow patches ! And my special blanket from aunt karo and uncle merv ! |
Auntie katie got me this sweater for when I'm 6 months ! I'm excited to have it in different sizes for the months to come. |
I already love airplane rides !! :) |
Time sure does fly!! Love the close up of her adorable face :)

Oh do I HEAR ya in the bottle department. Once Adele reaches Ashers age youll be able to sneak out a bit since she'll be able to go longer between feedings :)
ReplyDeletePerfect !! We did end up going out Friday night for my staff party, so I just had to excuse myself for 30 mins to run to Dan's parents and feed her quick haha ! We're testing out a couple different bottles to see if that makes any difference !
