OMG I go here now. Today is R's first birthday!
Age: 1
Milestones: She started walking Thursday.
Challenges: Sleep. Long story short, we have a family of 6 living with us for about a month and she's having a hard time adjusting to the noise and people being here too play with when she should be sleeping.
Funny/cute stories: She's testing out pointing at things she wants. During dinner H was feeding her oatmeal and had her milk cup on the floor. Every time she would point at it H would give it to her. I think it started out as an accident or something, but by the end of the meal she was doing it over and over and would laugh every time he gave her the cup. Like she was so thrilled she could get him to do it or something. It was pretty cute.
How are you? Meh. In general, pretty overwhelmed with so many people in such a small space. I'm used to being alone (with R) for most of the day/evening. Plenty of quiet time. Now I get maybe an hour or two a few days a week. But today, being R's birthday, I'm having all kinds of feels. I've been rereading the liveblog from her birth, looking at photos, reading her birth story, reminiscing. But most of all I'm throwing a pity party about how she's missing out on having her big brother here and how much that sucks.
Anything else? Nope.
QOTW: Did you have a good Mother's Day? It was okay. It was my first mother's day with a living child, so a lot of mixed emotions. H got me a really beautiful elephant sculpture, though, with a plan to find balloons/flowers/something to go with it to represent my babies that didn't make it.
