Watching for Daddy<\/em><\/p>\n

When I know that Ben is close to being home I start talking to Carson about it. \u00a0I’ll say, “Guess who’s coming home soon?” or “Let’s go look for daddy!”. \u00a0He gets real excited and he’ll go look out the front windows. \u00a0Ginger almost always joins him. \u00a0He’ll say, “Daddy coming? No, no daddy here.” if he’s not home yet and then when he pulls into the driveway he’ll say, “Daddy home!” and shake his hands excitedly. \u00a0Today they both took spots in the windows by the front door and I couldn’t resist taking a picture of them. \u00a0Yes, Carson is shirtless. \u00a0He had macaroni and cheese for dinner and that shirt needed to go straight into the washing machine.<\/p>\n

In all my reading about sleep for 5 month olds I read somewhere that swaddling should usually stop by this point. \u00a0So I’ve been trying that. \u00a0Yesterday I put Betsy down for naps 3 times and only 1 of those times did she go to sleep. \u00a0Ben was the miracle worker and had to go upstairs and repair the damage I’d done! \u00a0He claims the secret is good swaddling. \u00a0So today I tried it, despite being told that she is too old to be swaddled. \u00a0We had a pretty successful day of napping AND she went right to sleep when I put her down for the night at 6. \u00a0So I’m just going to ignore those anti swaddling types who say that my baby won’t develop properly and do what is best for Betsy and our family, and that is getting good sleep. \u00a0No one is allowed to say, “I told you so.” when she’s 3 and still crawling…<\/p>\n

Betsy had her first experience with rice cereal today. \u00a0It was really just messy and I’m sure little to none of it was swallowed. \u00a0She still won’t take a bottle, so moving onto some solids is the only way I will ever be able to leave her with someone for more than 2 hours without her going hungry. \u00a0I kind of feel like she has me held captive right now. \u00a0It will be nice when I am not her only option for sustenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
