Mother's Day
May. 15th, 2012 08:56 amI had a great time for my first Mother's Day. Brian actually gave me a new charm for my Pandora bracelet a week or so ago as a gift (two heart beads that go together, one side says "Mother" and the other "Daughter" - it's called "Piece of my Heart"). I just keep thinking of Janis Joplin.
We hosted a brunch and the fam came over (minus my sister who was home sick). I made a baked apple french toast for the first time which was SO GOOD but had so much sugar, so I want to mess with the recipe. Afterwards we walked down to the Steampunk City and did the free stuff. Mina seemed most amused by laying in the grass on the Waltham common and looking up in the trees.
She is getting so much better with eating - more efficient and generally less fussy. I've had enough for her (though we still do the formula at night). Her sleeping is getting better during the day. She gets super fussy when she needs to nap, and if we can set up a good situation for her then, she'll just sleep. She's had a harder time at night though. The cold she's had is going away, and in this "productive" phase her poor head is all stuffy at night. She's fine during the day. She's been clingy and snuggly at night during this period. Poor thing.
We had fun at our Cobblestones play group yesterday. She made her first art project with me for her dad (fingerpainting with her feet, flowers). The daycare actually made me a Mother's Day card with footprints on it. These masterpieces are now hanging at our respective offices.
I love this little monkey like crazy.
She's moving her arms like mad now. Laughing audibly. So close to rolling from back to front and almost sitting (with assistance from us or the Bumbo she can do it). The OT at Cobblestones said that she's quite strong for this age.
