Selfish post here for the moment
Sarah has been a right royal pain in the butt for the last two days. Very clingy and sooky. I think theres a tooth in there that won't come out. Played havoc with sleep last night, she was awake for 2 hours from 12.30pm onwards. Not happy, I refuse to feed her during the night now and that has helped with sleep but makes it a bit harder to put her back to sleep during the night. She does this about once a week where she just wakes up and stays awake for a few hours during the night. Drives me nuts. She gets a comp formula feed at the moment which has helped out greatly on the sleeping front. When she was just getting booby she would fall asleep whilst feeding so would be hungry sooner. So I decided to top her up with formula at night and it's so much better.
So now I've just got to get her out of this staying awake in the middle of the night stuff. It seems more draining when she does it every know and again then when she was to sleeping poorly every night. I'm pretty happy with her sleep normally although I still wish that she would have longer during the day, normally averages 30min stints.
On the food front, she has phases of eating a fair bit and then others where she just picks at her food. I'm varying her food more now though. I was primarily sticking to the baby food jars but have now branched out to 'normal' food as well.
Oh and before I forget, just brought a whole heap of clothes from Gymboree online. I got a 20% off voucher from Ebay USA for $2 so saved there and got some really gorgeous clothes for S. Now just gotta wait until they get here.
Oh, and nearly forgot this too. Can't even remember if I told you this already but Sarah is crawling. Not efficiently or often but she can do it. I found that letting her play on the floor without socks or long pants on where the key factors. She was slipping around on the lino too much. I've also flipped a rug upside down so that she can get traction.
