Today was a great day for us! Danielle chilled out on her blanket on the floor and rolled around while I was able to finish up laundry, pay bills and make some phone calls. She's almost rolling over from back to belly but kind of gets stuck on her arm. That, and she doesn't like tummy time LOL So I don't think she wants to completely get to her belly. Its amazing still that she can occupy herself for some time, as long as she has one of her favorite toys. She'll just babble away while chewing on the toy.
Occasionally she will try to lift herself up, as if to sit up, but doesn't get more than 1/4 inch off the ground. Mostly she does that when she's laying on my legs, but she's trying! Some days she won't bend at the waist at all, I don't know whats up with that. Her next appt is in January and I'll talk to the Ped about starting solids if she's ready. I've been reading about making her baby food, I can't believe I'm even thinking about it. I just never imagined all the things I would be concerned about, once I was a mom. But hey, if it saves money, and is better for Danielle nutritionally, I'll do what I can.
Other than that, we are just getting ready for the holiday vacation. I leave this Wednesday for PA for a week. Mom has a family dinner on Saturday, something she hasn't done for years. I'm excited. Danielle will have a Christmas here on Sunday, then Saturday with her cousins, then on Christmas with Brians family. I'll finally get to meet my niece Jade when I'm home.
This Sunday is when we are doing our own Christmas, for Danielle's First Christmas. I can't wait. We're just having a few problems with Danielle being really fussy around strangers. Sometimes she doesn't even want Brian, since he's gone all day. Poor things, they only really get like an hour or two together each day. I thought about keeping her up later at night but she's got her sleep routine down so well, I don't want to disturb that. She loves her routine!
While I'm in PA, I won't have internet so I'll update that trip once I get to Chicago. Happy Holidays!!!
