We are having tons of fun with her - it is tiring sometimes but so worth it!

And I am so happy to hear you're enjoying motherhood so much! <br /><br />I also have to hand it to you for consciously focusing on the happy and enjoyable times rather than the hard parts. That's not always easy to do! When Daniel went through his sleep-rejection phase at 3 months, I thought I might go crazy. Don't get me wrong, there were still things I LOVED during that time, but I found that to be one of the more challenging periods in his first year.<br /><br />Oh, and Daniel frequently had crumbs all over him, too. :) (The worst was when I dropped a chunk of salad on his head...oops.)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273727983110361664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716624990252627495.post-39421109662663930592012-06-12T03:37:36.197-04:002012-06-12T03:37:36.197-04:00Great to hear that you're doing well.

Then we got a great tip from a midwife, use a hair dryer! We put the hair dryer next to the changing table so that warm air flowed over him and the screaming stopped. He just didn't like getting cold/naked. Just make sure that it's far enough so the air is just mildy warm, not hot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716624990252627495.post-80921540087610670272012-06-08T12:15:33.843-04:002012-06-08T12:15:33.843-04:00Lila is beautiful!

Every baby is different though, and it sounds like you've found your grove. My little guy is just shy of 10 months old now and love "walking" up and down the hallway while I'm bent over holding his hands. Sore back? yup, but it's worth it!Natalie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007860288345698031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716624990252627495.post-20661593330004289992012-06-07T03:32:46.450-04:002012-06-07T03:32:46.450-04:00Oh, she's precious and it's wonderful that...Oh, she's precious and it's wonderful that you are enjoying every moment with her.
