She has gotten so mobile this month! She had been 'crawling' for a month but it was more of an army crawl. She has gotten the hang of using her knees and now is going everywhere! Into everything too! We are currently looking for a new TV stand because if you give her two seconds she'll be over there pulling all the cords.
She also learned how to pull herself up as well!
She is constantly pulling up on anything and everything and in the course of a week figured out how to walk along things as well. I am thinking we might have an early walker.
As far as eating goes, she is still breastfed but does get a bottle of formula on occasion on the days I work. This is because I just can't seem to get the hang of pumping. I pump almost every single night but it seems no matter how hard I try I can only get a few ounces a night. Then, if I miss even one night I am back to starting over again! So at most she'll get just one bottle of formula three days a week. Its not ideal but it's better than letting her starve.
She is loving solid foods! She currently eats either Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash or Avocado every night. Most mornings she will get plain yogurt but she doesn't like that as much so I may switch it for something else. We also bought her some Gerber Graduates Puff when she started getting interested in feeding herself. They are little puffs, similar to Cheerios, but they dissolve quickly so babies won't choke on them.
She has regressed in her normally awesome sleeping habits this month as well. Normally, we would put her down at 7 and she would be out until she wanted to eat around 2am and then again around 6am. This month she has been a terror get asleep (she'll obviously be tired but refuse to sleep) and wake up every other hour or so through the night.
Last night I think was the worse by far. I tried to FIVE HOURS to get Kayleigh to stay asleep but she would wake up every half hour crying. At one point she was awake, screaming, for an hour straight. I broke down in tear and eventually woke Charlie up to calm me down. (He's such an amazing guy! I don't know what I would do without him!!) I finally did get her to sleep around 12:30am, though.No teeth yet, either. We are hoping that all this trouble sleeping is caused by some coming in since Kay's poor gums do look swollen, but then again they've been looking like that on and off for the last three months so who knows.
