WTH!

I haven't posted since October 31st!? Geesh, where have I been? I need to be better about posting updates because I like going back over them and seeing what happened in my own life :)

So I pretty giddy today. I think it's because I've gotten NINE hours of sleep last night and the night before. That's not nine hours total, that's nine hours EACH night! Woot woot. Of course, I am now jinxing myself because every time I write about how well Harper is sleeping, it changes. I will take it for now, though. I have been doing to be at about 9:30 and last night she didn't get up until about 4:15 and then I nursed her and she (and I) went back to sleep until 7:30 this morning. Oh, it is heaven. And, she is starting to nap better too. Again, am I jinxing this!?? Yesterday, Elyse (our neighbor who came over and watched her yesterday) said she took a nap from 9:30-10:30 and then another nap from 12:30-3! This from the child who used to take half hour naps throughout the day. Anyway, it has been really nice. I am getting sleep, she is getting sleep, and we are all happier for it. Next week, I'm sure it will have changed completely.

Miss H is also loving her solid food. So far she's had sweet potatoes, winter squash, avocado, and peas. Her favorite was the avocado. Least favorite is the peas but who can blame her?? She now knows when you put her in her seat that she is going to get fed and she gets excited. It's pretty cute. I am happy that she doesn't get AS excited as when I pull out the boppy for nursing because it makes me still feel like I am the number one choice. It is a pretty funny scene when I am getting ready to nurse her. She pants. I told Brad we really need to get that on tape. Some day I will look back at it and cry and pine for "my baby" and some day she will be completed repulsed by it.

I am having to get rid of clothes left and right now, too. I think she grew an inch in the last week! Well, at least it feels like it. She is now solidly in to her 6-9mo clothes at this point. I tried to put her in a pair of smaller jeans today and they were highwaters. That's not going to work. It makes me a bit sad when I have to pack the clothes up but I just keep reminding myself that she is a happy, thriving baby and this is how it is supposed to be!

I don't have much other news to post about. Work is work. Life is life. You know. Nothing terribly exciting. It's getting colder here and really gray and rainy lately. That doesn't do much for my mood. I want summer back now! After Harper goes to bed all I want to do is put on my pjs and plunk myself in front of the TV. I am currently enjoying Rock of Love Charm School and Storm Chasers. Yes, that is a strange mix. I have decided, though, that I need to break off my deep dependency on my DVR and start reading again. So, I'm trying to get into bed about 9 and then read for about a half hour. I'm just starting Eat, Pray, Love. Anyone read it? So far it's holding my attention but her use of similes and metaphors is getting a little tiring.

Well, I need to go pump (I'm at work until 8 tonight) so I better get this posted and get to work!
