Miles is going to be one in a few weeks! Crazy! It's been a pretty difficult year for sure with him screaming most of the time while nursing for his first 5 months, his extreme clingyness, how he just tends to cry more than most babies, endless teething, sleeping issues, his nursing strike, etc. But of course there were also those awesome moments like when I got to hold him for the first time, newborn snuggles and being with him every step of the way through all his amazing firsts so far. Sometimes i think if I had an unlimited amount of money I would just keep having kids. But then I think about how it wouldn't be fair if I had to divide my attention among like 10 different kids and I know that wouldn't be right. Not to mention the fact that pregnancy can seriously suck and even the two kids I have now can make me nuts sometimes lol. And yet despite all this for some reason I have baby fever. Gah! What is wrong with me? Lol. I am still not trying for baby 3 until next fall but a part of me wishes we were trying sooner. A very CRAZY part of me lol. Hush crazy self! It's so not happening.
Anyways, Miles is crawling super fast now and pulling up everywhere and Cody is constantly saying, "no no no NO!" as Miles gets his hands on all his favorite toys lol. It was bound to happen. Sometimes Cody will pick Miles up and relocate him to a far corner of the room, far away from his toys, but Miles doesn't take long to get right back to where he originally was lol. It's kind of funny to watch. Cody just watches him in horror. And I tell him just wait until he can walk. What sucks is how often Miles falls and bumps his head/body as he pulls himself up to stand. Resulting in lots of tears. Ugh. One cool thing is that he now says Mama which I find adorable :) Weirdly enough he said Mama a few months ago all the time for like a week and then stopped and just started again yesterday. This kid is a conundrum. He looks so small crawling around too since he is only in the 10th percentile for height and 25th for weight lol.
Speaking of Miles and his strangeness: he is still refusing to nurse. It's been almost 4 weeks now :( I pump 4 times a day still but the last few days he will only drink 2-3 ounces per sitting instead of 5. Which means he is only drinking like 12oz tops of breast milk a day. He's supposed to be drinking 16-24oz. I try but he pushes the bottle/sippy cup away. Honestly, I don't know what to do with this kid sometimes. I guess he's ok because he's eating 3 decent meals still? Who knows. Oh and he's still afraid of the bath :(
Oh well. Life is great at the moment despite my daily frustrations. I am very excited that we have a busy weekend between my family reunion tomorrow and the Thomas day out thing on Sunday. I love having fun plans :)
