I made a little sound with my tongue yesterday. Mary Ann still likes that sound. She like it so much that she lift her head up to my face when I pull my head back. It’s like she want’s to follow my face.
Have I told you that she has got baby fat now? Maybe you have seen her double chin. But she also got rolls of fat on her upper thighs. As I mentioned the other day she sure is looking more and more like a baby now. The young birds’ days are over.
She had taken all her milk by bottle since last night. So the time for us to be hospitalized with her is very close. That will be when she’s only using the bottle for some days. We will have to stay there unto we understand her routine. I think we will understand it quickly because we are with her for several meals in a row. Other mums are maybe only there for one. But the days are different with her now and we need to understand the new structure as well. Before we knew that 9.30am we could curdle her unto 10am. Then we had to change her nappy and then give her food and then it all started over again at 12.30. Now we can sit for hours waiting for her to let us know she’s hungry. In the meanwhile she should have her rest. She’s more tired now when she has to work for her living. So as soon as she cries for food we change her and try to give her the bottle before she falls a sleep again. When I gave her the bottle today she took it right away. I wanted to cry because I felt so happy that I understood that she cried because she was hungry and acted upon it. I think we have found a good bottle for her. We found that she prefers a rubber nipple on the feeding bottle. She doesn’t even spit milk out as before. Oh my, things are going well.
