Bella is doing great. She is so smart and sassy and funny. She is really picking up on our language these days. Don't get me wrong- she has been crazy verbal for a long time, but now she is starting to use our phrases, well beyond just funny little parrot moments. Of course now that I'm trying to think of one I totally cannot. She is just full of it though. So much character and hilarity spilling out. Can be challenging at times but ultimately she is such an awesome person, it is easy to forget those tough moments quickly.
Gio is getting more and more fun every day now too. We had the reflux well under control for about 6 weeks now, well until this past week! Now its rearing its ugly little head again and making my mostly hapoy boy, very unhappy. He is working really hard at grabbing things and putting them in his mouth. He is also rolling all over the place. I can see it won't be long till this boy is cruising around. He is already desperate to get a move on. God willing he will hold off on crawling for me. I'm not ready for that! He isn't quite able to sit up on his own yet, but getting stronger and stronger. Mostly he is just so interactive and fun. He loves to laugh. He enjoys music a ton, and thinks Bella is hilarious. He's definitely a mama's boy at this point, but hey- I've got all the milk! Hard to believe that he is already five months old! (Okay in two days, but still!)
I am starting to see the light from the depths of newborn land. I don't think I landed as deeply in crazytown as I did with Bella. Don't get me wrong, I'm still certifiable, but not for the same mommy reasons. Sleep deprived as I may be, I'm mostly getting by. Struggling, yes, but looking to find "me" again, as opposed to worrying quite so desperately that I'm going to ruin my child.
Speaking of sleep deprivation, I'm hitting my nightly wall. Pretty good since I didn't get my nap today! And so, life goes on.
