I don't have alot to talk about today, it's kind of been a boring couple of days. Just working, exercising, and taking care of cutie-pie.
I have lost some inches of my waist, even though I have not lost any pounds yet (I know it's coming). I have been sticking to my diet as much as I can - I am very hungry alot, and there are donuts at work, but I refuse to let myself eat them! Tonight is 31 cent scoops at Baskin Robbins, so we will see how long I last tonight!
I found myself getting a little jealous of my husband last night. He picked Avery up from daycare and when I got home, I expected a big smile from Avery's face when she saw me, but nothing. They were playing and she seemed to be fixed on him all night...I have to say, being a mother is hard. I know this is a part of her growing up, to start being more attached to her dad, and I am SO grateful I have a great husband who is a great father. But as she grows and gets more independent, it's constantly a reminder that she will need me less and less and less. That's very hard, especially when I am going through the beginning process of weaning. I mean, I know she will always need me, but she will become more independent as time goes on. I want her to, of course. But it's not always easy!
So, here are some things about Avery at this age:
1) As I mentioned before, she loves her feet and loves to babble. She grabs her feet constantly!
2) She is starting to hold her own bottle!
3) She is sitting up for moments at a time by herself. She will lean over with her hands and hang for a while before she plants, face first, to the floor.
4) She is rolling over, although, I still have not seen evidence of this. Pam says she does it all the time, but when she gets home, she won't do it for me! I am sure they let her lay there past when she gets upset about it for her own good, but when I am in the room, I think she doesn't like me leaving her on her tummy. Saturday, when I was cleaning, that little monkey was on her back, I walked onto the patio for 2 seconds, came back, and was on her stomach. I guess she doesn't like to perform on que.
5) She loves to play in the bath tub. She will kick and kick and smile and play!
6) She loves airplane and loves to "fly."
7) She loves to have her diaper changed!
8) She is starting to recognize and become fixed on the dogs. I can't wait to see them start to play together.
9) She puts everything, EVERYTHING, in her mouth.
10) She is starting to cling, with her arms, her legs, when I hold her. And if I wasn't looking too much into it, I feel like at times, she is starting to hug back!
She is getting so old. I think being a mother is like, the hardest thing to do. Now I know why people say that all the time.
