We are still doing well. The attachment piece is such a big one with little miss. I spend so much time scrutinizing every movement. Is this what a 6 month old does? Is this attachment? Is this some sort of weird delay? Her latest thing is to wake up whilst napping (listen to me...whilst) in a fit of screaming. Her appendages going stiff as can be and a look of utter fear on her face. I mean fear. And she can't catch her breath. And she grasps for me. It's heartbreaking. Apparently she does not do this for Benjy. After I "shhhh", rock, remind her that I'm there, she goes back to sleep. She'll only do naps while we hold her. And honestly, that doesn't suck. Rocking and hugging and taking 60 minutes to just sit. Bedtime has gotten a little rough. Last night she was up at 10, 1, 4, 6, 7. I believe my words at 4 am were something like "girl you do NOT want to mess with me right now" as she giggled and grabbed at my nose.
Makenna is hanging in there. We have rocked her world to the very core. She's missing about 2 hours a day of sleep thanks to little miss scream a lot. That causes melt into a puddle on the floor fits a couple of times a day. About stuff that makes you go "really. THIS. This is causing the fit." Like we had a complete conversation about how Kiva (the DOG) did not step on her foot on purpose. Makenna was convinced that the dog who licks the door made up her mind to walk over and step on Makenna's foot just because.
I start back to work on Wednesdays this week. We'll see how that goes.
Well, until I have internet again...
xoxo
