Three more months and my baby is a year and a half! Three more months and my new baby will be here! We think she is going through some kind of growth spur, because everytime she wakes up, she's either leaner or taller. Her baby fat is quickly melting away, and clothes that were fitting too snug (cuz her her big ol belly) are now loose!

I bought her some new clothes at H&M, I was really excited about them because they are light, summer and playground flexible.....but they aren't the right size, so now I have to go exchange them. It's so easy to get carried away with baby clothes. Especially when pants are $3.95!! James continues to think I have a problem :(

The other night I read her "The Velveteen Rabbit" while it took her a while to sit still, she ended up falling asleep! I felt like I won! Some babies use a toy to fall asleep, but with her I lay down with her until she's breathing heavy then either fall asleep myself or watch some tv. Hopefully reading to her will put her to sleep in the next few months. As my belly gets bigger putting her to bed will be a challenge since I'll be the only one actually putting her down.

My baby has a mouth full of teeth! Last night she cried in the shower and I saw this piranha mouth wide as can be. Which reminds me, one day we were all eating cheese-steaks, and she must have picked up a piece that fell out of my sandwich and started to choke on it. I very calmly removed it from her mouth and saw it was chewed pretty well, it was just too big to swallow. I guess it may sound funny, but babies don't have teeth and have to learn to eat...so seeing bite marks... its like an accomplishment!

I think she's starting to get picky on the kind of milk she'll drink. She hasn't been drinking the cheapy brand we currently have. Guess she's used to Organic milk, the company also makes a milk box with vanilla flavoring which she gobbles up...well more like INHALES. She goes crazy for it!

Actually, she eats a lot of organic food, lol. She loves James's organic banana maple flax seed oatmeal, her organic honey graham cracker stix, her Plum fruit pouches (only made with fruit, nothing else, seriously NOTHING else.

When we first started feeding her baby food, we tried Gerber products and WOW did her poop smell like a death cloud when you opened up her diaper. We tried the organic stuff, totally different, she seemed to have an easier time digesting plus her diaper wasn't so offensive!

anyhoot, enough about poop!

She's has to be going thru some kinda spurt right now, James had her yesterday and she ate like a homeless person! First her fancy butt had my chicken leftovers from my birthday dinner at a French restaurant, then she ate a bowl of oatmeal, then a fruit pouch! Plus she slept the whole day....

of course she sleeps the whole day with him, and never with me! :)
