Hey everyone!
So it's a super rainy and icky day here, so Vada and I are cooped up in the apartment trying to stay entertained. We've played in the jumper, played with toys in the Bumbo, napped, ate, ate some more, and then ate again.
On the topic of eating, I think that Vada is going through a growth spurt. She's been getting up at night a bit more and when she eats, SHE EATS! I'm hoping that it'll end soon, it gets pretty exhausting! The pediatrician said she's ready for solids, but I'm not ready yet, haha! She'll get her first solid (avocado) when we're home visiting next month so that everyone can see her reaction (not on video, in real life!).
Vada has gotten a new toy recently, it's a Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether
. She loves this thing!
It's the best toy for teething, we love it here!
I guess that's it for now, I'm going to try to write in here more often (like, 3-4 times a week). Look forward to more pictures and information on our growing girl!

No excuses...
Ok, so I have no excuse for not updating. Well...maybe a little excuse, like a 16lb one. Haha! Vada has been so busy lately learning about what's around her. She's discovered that when we put her in her jumper, she can JUMP. It's basically the most amazing thing ever, haha!
As for milestones, she's been very interested in making eye contact, flailing her arms around, and grabbing (and chewing) on her feet. I'm pretty sure her favorite time of the day is when we have "Naked Baby Time" at 6:45pm. That's when Chris takes her in the bedroom and they play on the bed while she's totally naked (this child LOVES having her diaper off, the more nude the better!). She spends the next 15 minutes laughing at her daddy's silly antics and trying to shove her feet in her mouth. I usually let the two of them have this time to themselves, it's nice for them to have a special time together. At 7 she gets in the tub, then we tag team the getting ready for bed routine and she's usually out for the night by 8.
She's been really amazing at sleeping lately! She wakes up once or twice a night now, which is a huuuuge difference from the 4-6 times she was getting up. I feel so refreshed! I think it's really helping her mood, too. She seems to be easier to deal with during the day, and she's getting a lot better at taking naps, though she isn't taking them in her crib. That's partly (ok...mostly) my fault, she falls asleep in my arms and I can't tear myself away from her to put her in her crib. I just want to hold her and snuggle her. She's totally over cuddling while she's awake, so I take it where I can get it!
In sad news, someone stole Chris' bike over the weekend. We've learned a valuable (and expensive!) lesson on locking everything up. We're hopeful that we'll be able to replace it after the new year, it's a huge bummer to have it gone.
With that, I'll leave you with the last video I made, which I should have posted, but forgot. It's Vada's 17 and 18 week video. I've got her 19 and 20 week video in the makings right now, I've just been so busy with my holiday knitting that I haven't had a chance to put it together, but I will have it soon!
I love you all and hope you're all well. XOXO
