today marks the first day that anna and i are alone together. no daddy, no grandma, no visitors. just the girls. as i type this, she sits in her sling, happy and cozy in her little black space. and i get to write up her blog.
our days together are nice and quiet. well, that is, when she's not crying. anna wakes, gets a diaper change, eats, and then goes back to dreamland. sometimes she smiles the prettiest little smile... it's a shame that she has no idea what she's doing. =) she sits in her chair and sleeps a bit, though during the day they're very short cat naps -- only 20 or 30 minutes long, not nearly long enough for mama to get any extra rest. but that's ok. we hang out and we're happy.
these are moments that i miss dave being here. and i know he does too. it'd be lovely if he could be here all day with his girls, just hangin' out and watching what she does. but i guess that's what weekends are for, right?
i spoke to anna's pediatrician yesterday, dr. cao. he said that it's a bit too early to diagnose anything -- anna could have acid reflux, or it could simply be her temperment. so he urged us to just soothe her any way we had to, and at her month visit he would revisit it. which makes sense. i've received great helpful hints from friends whose children have had it, so hopefully all together we'll be able to make some progress in this area.
i'm going to try to rest while she happily sleeps in her sling. gotta take it while i can get it, right?

I have heard from my friends with children that the Happiest Baby on the Block is a wonderful book that has tips on soothing little ones. My sister swears by it!
oooh... thanks clara!
