|baby's breath|

she is still fighting the breast, and the bottle. it's not just a nursing strike... it's something weird -like she's afraid that she can't breathe when she's eating. she gets all panicky and flails and screams... and she gets all sweaty. if i'm nursing, i can force her head into position, and she calms down. it sounds rough, and it feels rough, but it's the only way to calm her and get her to eat.

she's been really fussy over the past few days, and i think it's because she is hungry. but when we try to feed her, she freaks out and won't eat. i hope this passes soon. i want my happy, chubby baby back.

she's smiling, laughing, making raspberries. she tries so hard to sit up. i caved and bought her a bumbo baby chair. it's adorable. i'll have to get the photos off the camera, later.

she is drooling lots, and she is really starting to get everything into her mouth. the day to day changes aren't as dramatic now as they were in the earlier weeks. it is amazing how your world can revolve around one tiny being.
