Amelia slept for 8 hours last night. She had one longer nap during the day and a few short ones. She woke me up at 6 as she was tossing around but she didn’t awaken and stopped tossing after about 30 minutes. She slept till 7:30. Awesome!
We went to a show for moms last night. There were a few cute things but it wasn’t very big (not too many vendors. Leads me to believe there is a need for cute baby stuff in this town. Homemade baby stuff.) I mostly wanted to go to talk to the wee hands lady. Teaching Amelia sign language is something I have been interested in for a while, so I think we will do the class in January.
Everyone there seemed impressed I had ventured out with a baby so young. I guess most folks spend most of their time at home for the first few months. We have been home a bunch but try to get out at least a little each day.
I guess it is easier when your baby is easy. However, I have to admit that taking Amelia and the dog to the vet on Wednesday was not the simplest of tasks. Luckily there were no other dogs in the waiting room and Amelia was an angel.
8 hours at barely 2 months?!? You are so lucky! I don’t think Jonah slept even close to that long until he was over 5 or 6 months old… He’s a great sleeper now though. I took him out all of the time when he was that age. Granted it was summer, but still… as long as people aren’t slobbering all over her, there’s no reason to stay cooped up in the house. We took Jonah to a restaurant on the way home from the hospital b/c my mom was hungry, and it hasn’t affected how much he gets sick. I only taught Jonah one sign (the sign for “more”) cause it was the only one I knew. He still does it even though now he says the word at the same time. It’s kind of funny. I wish I had done more. Amelia is absolutely adorable!
