On the move


So Isla isn't crawling yet and it might be a little while before she does since she has figured out other ways to get to where she wants. She is a rolling, squirming machine. It's funny to watch - she can get across the room in no time. And she some how got that back pack on herself.
So we're still working on the taking a bottle and sleeping through the night - neither are going that well. She's been hit or miss at taking a bottle. We left her for a day and a half with Rob's parent in August and she took the bottle but now she's forgotten. I've been trying to give her one bottle every other day or more since there is no point of having a supply in the freezer if she's not going to take it.
As for sleeping through the night, we have been working at it for a week and it still the same. She wakes around 10:30 when I go to bed, so I have been feeding her thinking that should get her through the night - I mean she's not a small baby, she has reserves. But she's been waking up at 3:30 wide awake every night. It's so hard not to feed her since I know if I do she will be back to sleep in 15 mins. Instead I have been trying to sooth her and let her cry but that takes an hour before she's a sleep. Some nights she will then sleep til morning - others she up at 5am. It's a mind game every night - feed her now and I will get to go back to sleep now but if I can break her then I will get to sleep longer every night. Plus on top of it I don't want her to wake up Lilo.
Cross my finger she will break before I do :)
Otherwise she's a fun, happy, cute baby. She now has 6 teeth and starting to like to eat solids, peaches, zuchini, squash, green beans, banana, avacado, cabbage and carrots. I have been making my own food and freezing it. I made some earlier with veggies from the garden. I'll see how long I can keep it up.

So also on my plate is trying to potty train Lilo - fun. So we had a good day yesterday - no accidents - but today she just peed her pants and then 10 mins after I changed her she pooed. She's getting it slowly, she just gets busy and forgets.

This is Lilo after getting into the Halloween candy.

So that's my life right now :)
