i've been meaning to post photos, but haven't been able to stay awake at night to do it. she's definitely been waking up more (at least 3 times) during the night these past few weeks and i'm feeling it.
with rain, i was so careful with caffeine. i only treated myself to half a cup of coffee once in a while even though i love everything about coffee. the taste, smell, heat (still drink hot even in hot weather), and of course the effect... i haven't been so careful with ruby. i feel guilty pumping caffeine into her via boob, but i feel like a better mother when i have it. i think rain appreciates those couple hours of energy it gives me. so i've compromised with myself and drink a cup of black tea every day instead. stash organic breakfast blend and tulsi india breakfast are my favorites at the moment. around noon, i hit my wall and the rest of the day, i'm just surviving.
anyway, back to ruby.
it's hard to make rain stop jumping by her head when she thinks it's this funny!
she is cute. like really really cute. just a smiley, happy, marshmallow bunny, roly-poly, love bug. she has a strong resemblance to yoda (according to my mom and some teenage boys), but we won't talk about her ears. i don't want to give her a complex. she loves to be on the floor. she loves rain. she loves rain's toys. she's always finding a way to roll to the nearest pile of rain's toys and get her mouth on a truck. i let her enjoy it for a second while i cringe thinking about the bpa filled chinese plastic and the dirt it was just rolling through an hour ago. when my concerns for her health and developement become too overwhelming, i take it away and pass her one of her toys. preferably natural rubber and made in the u.s. or europe. she has fun for a moment and then rolls off her blanket the other way to chew on the carpet fringe that collects all the dust. she's a determined little bruiser (in the most feminine way). i don't remember rain being this mobile at her age.
i continue to use her bouncer when i need to keep her contained while i do something in the kitchen. although, i'm pretty sure this means she already outgrew it...
and this is why i can't leave her alone for more than a minute...
she acquired both of these skills just before she turned 4 months. i think she's physically advanced. or just wild.
