I'm sorry I haven't updated in what feels like forever. I have lots to update on....I'm even behind on updating my pen pals. I'm so sorry everyone. Being a single mom takes lots of time.
Anyways, where to start? Matilda has started solids, well puree's. I plan on making my own food, but since I can get some from WIC, I'm going to use what is given to us. I so far have noticed she really likes apples. The meats right now are the worst. I opened one jar, and tried feeding it to her, but it smells so incredibly bad. I think meats will wait until she can have something that resembles meat more. The remaining meat jars have gone to the cat.
Big news I've been wondering about is, will Matilda need a helmet? Unfortunately, yes. But hey, it's not permanent . Her head is pretty wonky. The helmet wont correct it 100%, but it will make a huge difference in the shape of her head, and position of her ears.
She is also extremely close to rolling over, and saying her first word. She is my little rockstar. Another big thing this mama is proud of is, she sleeps through the night....most of the time. It's mostly our cat that wakes mama up. So much, that I can't just be awake. I need to be out of bed for our cat to be happy. Once I'm out of bed, he just lays there, or trips me while I go check on Matilda. Matilda is still most of the time fast asleep. So, I wake her with a "Good morning Matilda." She wakes with a smile.
She is so so so close to rolling over, and also very close to saying her first word. I hope it's mama.
I absolutely love watching my little girl laugh, smile, and grow. She is so wonderful. Things are getting somewhat easier as she gets older, but I know there will always be new challenges. I do what I can, when I can, but also try not to over-do it. If a task around the house isn't 100%, I don't make a huge deal, I work on it as I can without overwhelming myself. I always try to still take time to do something for me. whether it be read a book, watch tv, take a bath or shower. Gotta still take care of basic needs after all.
I'm still working on Matilda's baths, some days she likes them, others she doesn't. I do hope this gets better as she has more, and what not.
Anyway, I just wanted to do an update, as I know more on her helmet situation I will update as I can. I hope I can get some awesomely cute stickers to decorate it with.
Mama
