It's been a while since the last post! I guess I should take this time to update you all on whats been going on with us.
Imants is doing well with his firm, staying busy and making money which is good. He is constantly getting new clients, as he is so good at networking with his golf club and the UW football and alumni events he attends.
I am still doing the same job, but only part time now, so it's a nice balance.
There are days that I enjoy going to work, and others that I don't.
I admit, I am surprised how much I enjoy being home with Linnea. I could do it fulltime for sure!
I love hanging out with her!
She is such an awesome baby! So happy, smiley all the time, and her beautiful smile just lights me up!
We went for a late afternoon run today the 3 of us, and she just smiled the whole time. She loves being outside in the stroller, loves the outdoors, loves people in general.
She is eating a lot of foods now! Starting to give her 3 meals a day. She loves peaches and apples and avocado and rice crackers, among other things. She is a good eater. Takes a sippy cup of water now too. We started chicken a few days ago. Next to try yogurt and cheese at 8 months which is a few weeks away.
I am still nursing her a lot. She doesn't take a bottle. Luckily I feed her twice a day while I am at work, since we live 8 blocks away.
Its working out great having both Grandmas watch Linnea! Its a win win situation all the way around.
The main problem we are having now is sleep related. She is waking up 2-3 times at night and it is so much easier to just go in and nurse her than it is to let her cry.
I hope she learns to sleep through the night by the time I am finished nursing her.
Whenever that may be... I guess it could be a while, as I am enjoying it as she does too.
Linnea is very very close to learning how to crawl! She is also standing up, and able to hold onto furniture and stand for a while without falling. She is a healthy weight and height for her age. A little bit above average for both. I think she is fairly proportionate but she feels very strong and sturdy- not a dainty little thing! I think she will be strong and muscular- not whispy!
She is getting rather frustrated at times when she can;t crawl to what she wants, but I think it will be very soon! SO soon, I bought baby gates today for the stairs!
I could go on and on and on about her, but we are going to watch a movie now!! Big Saturday night!!
I made a lovely thai salmon red curry dish tonight with red peppers, carrots, brocoli, green beans. It was so good I have to say!
Well, off to "adventureland"- the movie for the evening!
