all about mommy

It started about a week ago. Emery is all about mommy. Heaven forbid I hand her to someone else while i'm in the room. It usually gets worse as the day goes on. Mornings are always great with her. While evenings she looks around for me. It's kinda cute, i do like being her favorite. But it's also somewhat funny, I sat her down to play with her toys in the family room and walked into the kitchen to do the dishes and she panicked. I mean lost it. It was a little funny. Like come on, i'm right here.

Last night Dave and I hung out just the two of us and made dinner together for his birthday. Emery and I each got him a card, and i got him a little present. It was nice being baby free for the night. Nana and River hung with Em and she was a bit of a pill. She had just woke up from her one and only nap (20 minutes) when I got there. She was watching the Jets game with River. It is so amazing having them so close.

Sitting up is the norm now, though we put pillows near by for when she falls over. She will be 6 months next week! WHAT? how did that happen. So we'll start with real foods and I think a bunch of other stuff changes at 6 months. We have our apt with the doc so we'll learn more I'm sure.

As for sleeping, yea she's not doing that. She gets up every 2 hours or so to eat at night. From what i can fiugar out, she needs to eat b/c she moves so damn much. All the babies I know that sleep through the night are chill and relaxed. We didn't get one of those. We got a mover..hummm i wonder why :). My mom saw her moving to get out of my arms the other day and was like "yea that reminds me of someone, we were hoping Dave's side would tone her down a little." I guess not. She looks like me AND acts like me. scary. What are we in for? haha. But i love it. I really don't care about the sleep part anymore. I just love being with her. It kills me when i have to leave her at the nanny's. I hate it. BUT i know it's better then giving her up every day 9-5 like some parents have to. I have no idea what schedule she's on. She just eats and sleeps when she wants. It seems to be working, she's a pretty happy kid. She wakes up in the morning and you can hear her talking to herself in her crib. It's really funny.

She's currently on my lap, talking and pooping. So now I have to go change her.
