This past month was bliss. Adara is just a complete lovebug. She is having lengthy conversations with us these days and laughs at all my jokes. She also continues to grow (in length) at a rapid rate. She is almost completely in six month clothing. Does this mean that she will be in 1-year-old clothing by 6-months or will there be an end to this craziness?!?! I'm really starting to wonder.
The biggest news from this past month is that Adara slept through the night.....for multiple nights in a row....and it was so so so amazing. I was told that five hours is considered sleeping through the night at 2 months and Adara was going 6-7 hours! Happy mama and happy baby. We also got a little routine down. It sucks that I have to return to work and the whole routine will change...just when things were so sweet. Boo. Our routine went something like this: Adara would go to sleep in our arms in the early evenings and we would snuggle her through dinner and whatever we do after dinner. She then nurses for about 2 hours (no, I am not exaggerating). BUT, with all that nursing she sleeps until the early morn. Then she wakes up to nurse again in bed and sleeps in bed with us until around 10am. Yes, I have been sleeping in until 10am on a regular basis to make up for all the missed sleep from the past few months.
The second biggest news is that Adara has learned to roll over from stomach to back. She did this for the first time on Christmas morning and it was so thoughtful of her to give us such a fun present. Rolling over is now her new favorite trick. She is very close to rolling from back to stomach....perhaps that will be her 3-month accomplishment.
The third biggest news is that in preparation for my routine to work Adara started going to school (read: daycare). I have been going with her to make her feel better about the transition (read: so I feel better about the transition). She seems to love it so far (I hope I will love it too..... or at least cope).
In other news I am now married to a 30-year-old. We went to Lummi Island to celebrate the special occasion with some friends. Christmas was wonderful and we are looking forward to a happy new year and welcoming a calm 2013.
