it's been a long week. our sweet little baby has not been in the mood to be very sweet, especially the past few days. i'm so thankful that Will didn't have to travel this week because i needed a break desperately in the evenings. she's been sleeping a lot more during the day than usual so i'm assuming it's a growth spurt. according to the Wonder Weeks chart that our pediatrician told us about (we just use it as reference and until now have had less "stormy" weeks than the chart suggests) we're smack dab in the middle of some major leap weeks (developmental growth spurts). last week (16 weeks old) wasn't too bad, but this week (17 weeks old) has been really rough.
when she's not sleeping or eating, she's crying. the last few days she has refused to nap anywhere but in my arms. i hate to give in and make a habit out of her refusing to nap unless i'm holding her but i don't know what else to do. i hate getting frustrated, when i know she can't help it. on a side note, lately when she cries she goes, "ooooooo mamamamamama" which is somewhat adorable, despite the circumstances :)
unlike most babies, Audrey does love taking her pajamas off and getting a new outfit on. i don't know why but it just makes her so happy. i took these today on the changing table getting her out of her pajamas after her morning bottle...
Hi! Where did you get the chart??
