So, typing this on an iPad while my baby nurses/sleeps and the iPad isn't the ideal format for blogging but have you ever tried to nurse a baby to sleep while balancing let alone using a laptop? Sufficed to say I have written 3 separate blog posts that I was then unable to fix the typos/grammar on and yes I am that much of a stickler that I won't post them with incorrect language. Anyway, let's hope tonight's post goes more smoothly.
So much has happened since the last post.
Miss Kat is now over seven months old and more curious by the day. She's also hilarious, and sweet as can be. She has said dada quite a bit lately and as she is generally with or looking at DH when she does we feel it's intentional. She's been saying mama forever but it generally seems more about relieving teething pain than recognizing me in anyway.
She will occasionally respond to her name but as she gets called a bunch of different names it's expected that there will be a slight delay there. Eg: DH and I call her Katochan, Kat, Kat O, Kathleen, and buggie (short for lovebug). DH's family call her K.C. And various others call her Kate, Katie, or Kathy. So no wonder the kid is confused.
She wants to stand up all of the time but is unable to pull herself up yet so wants us to stand her up all of the time.
She is getting down the fundamentals for crawling but still wants mommy to carry her everywhere. (Just not for long in a baby carrier of any kind.)
We have been moving since before Christmas and luckily the landlord/super have been gracious about it so far but I am so OVER IT and just want it done! (Easier to say than accomplish with a 7 month old)
We are however almost completely moved out of our old apartment and should be getting our washer and dryer by the end of the month. When we do we will be getting some cloth diapers to try to save money. Now I just need to research what exactly that will entail. When I find out maybe I will fill you all in.
For now better try to sleep while the baby does....oh yeah daddy and I call her "the bay" too...poor kid.
Ciao for now~
