Wow it has been forever since i have blogged. I feel like I don't have a lot of time lately. I have also been sick since Laurens shower so that is part of it.
Lauren is now 6 months old and still isn't sleeping better. If anything it has gotten worse lately. She still goes to bed at around 8. She then wakes up anywhere from 11-2 wanting to eat. Then she wakes up again anywhere from 4-6. This doesn't matter what time the first wake up is either. She could be up at 2 and 4 or 11 and 6. Anyway when she wakes up the second time then she wants to be awake for at least an hour. If i put her in the crib she just cries and cries and it gets louder and louder. If I hold her she cries as well. The only thing that works is if she is latched on to me. This is not a good thing as it just causes me pain. She won't take a soother but she thinks that I should be a human one for her. I just want this to get better as i am exhausted and hasn't helped me get better from being sick. She also is ready to get up for the day at 7 no matter what and then doesn't really nap till about 2 unless she just falls asleep in the middle of playing.
She has started Rice cereal and LOVES it. If you put it on the tray of her high chair and aren't ready to feed her yet she has her mouth open and yells and tries to get the food herself. I have to admit I was hoping this would help her sleep longer but no such luck. We aren't trying any other food till after our appointment at Children's and till we have seen the dietitian as she will be put on a special diet we know.
She rolls over both ways great but still isn't sitting. We are working on it though as she wants to sit just hasn't been able to do it on her own yet.
We just had her first Halloween. We didn't do much just dressed her as a mouse most of the day till the costume I wanted came in. I put her in her sock monkey costume for a bit. It is big though so I am hoping it will still fit next year as it is really cute on her.

I have to say even without her sleeping I love being her mom. I just want to get a few more hours sleep in a row thats all. It is the broken sleeping that is doing me in. I know that she will go back to sleeping through the night again I just wish i would hurry up.
