Here are the latest updates:
1. Miss A turned 8 months last week. I can't really believe that she is almost a toddler. She is still my baby and will always be my little girl.
2. Baby girl is now eating a lot more solids. She loves peaches. It is still her favorite. She tried peas, chicken with sweet potatos (yesterday), cheese, yogurt, and squash. She is not the best eater lately. Lately, she is eyeing our plates and starts to "scream" at us, basically telling us that she wants what we eat.
3. As I mentioned in my previous post, baby girl had roseola after going to a kid's bday party. I am so glad it is over. It was so hearbreaking watching her being sick. She just wasnt' herself. But who is when you have a fever. I am so happy to see a smile back on her face.
4. The scar from the burn are completely gone. Feee, what a relief.
5. Miss A is not crawling. She is not even interested in crawling. In fact, she is not interested in laying on her tummy at all. Lately, she is all about standing. She is starting to pull herself up but she is not a pro at it yet. When I come home, all we do is play on the mat next to her activity center. She tries to pull up but the center is too high for her. She turns to my and raises her hands so that I could help her to get up. She gets up easily and I make her take a few steps to the activity center (evil mommy!) and she just stand on her own until her little, cute butts hits the floor. And that is what we do now every evening.
6. She is not STTN. In theory, she sleeps long hours, from 9-9:30 till 8-8:30. but she wakes up during the night and starts to cry and looks for her pacifier. This leaves me with about 5-6 hours of interrupted sleep and hubby about 6-7 hours of interrupted sleep. I forgot what it feels like to have a restful sleep. She sleeps better when I (or hubby) put our hand under her butt. I can't really explain it but it works! :)
7. A few days ago, I was cooking diner and was holding Miss A. As I was flipping over the cutlets, baby girl obviously got bored and wanted attention. She started playing with my bangs at first and then with her little arm she turned my face around so that I'll be looking directly at her. I could see that she had the satisfaction in her eyes when I stared at her. It was exactly what she wanted. I turned off the stove and went to play with my baby girl.
Till next time :)

"Little" Updates
It is been a while again since my last post. But to my excuse I've been extremely busy at work and at home. I started reading the blogs that I follow first and then time just flies and I don't have time to jot my thoughts down in my own blog.
So, here are some of the updates from last time:
1. Ariela went to her first kid's birthday party. One kid was sick and started an epidemic. Miss A had a fever for 4 days. Mr. V and my mom took her to a doctor (our pediatrician wasn't available). The doc examined her and wasn't happy that we decided to bring her in, since she was "fine". I wanted to punch him after I heard it. I am paying a lot of money for insurance and I have every right to bring my daughter in if I think she is not feeling well, especially for 4 days. Anyways, the fever stopped and she had a rash after. Apparently, my baby had roseola, which is pretty common in kids. But come on, she was only 7.5 months. She is too little to be sick.
2. I am slowly getting into a routine. I know, it took me a while! Miss A has been going to bed around 9-9:30. It is still late for a baby but it is so much better then her 12-12:30 time. I wash the bottles, prepare lunches for next day, pump, sometimes watch a movie with hubby, and go to sleep.
3. Miss A is getting used to sleeping in our bed. It is sooo not something I wanted but what can you do? She sleeps for about 2 hours and then start to scream around 11-12am (sometimes 2am) and it is easier for us to let her sleep with us then get up every 30 minutes to soothe her and help her fall back asleep.
4. Work has been crazy. Too many changes and too much expectations. I am so over this job. I wish I could just win the lottery and quit.
5. I've lost all of my pregnancy pounds and maybe even more. But I still have a baby belly which doesn't go away. It is absolutely driving me insane. It is not fat. It is the skin that stretched out for 9 months. It probably won't go away on its own, so I should really stop complaining and start doing some exercises.
6. I feel better about my body, even though I still can't wear tight tops (see #5). I fit into my jeans and pants and some of them are even big on me.
7. I still continue to pump. I didn't expect to last that long but it is part of my routine already and I can't even imagine my day without my black little bag with pump. It is my tail that follows me around everywhere I go.
I'll do a little update on Miss A in a different post.
