Today. She likes bottles more than any toy, and when she got fussy at Tim’s parents because of her teeth I gave her a spoon with some whipped cream on it. It helped until she got too excited and threw herself backwards. =/

Then we grilled, and vegetarian Chloe ate flowers.

And I made some new designs in my newly functional and organized art room.

Organization is done, even though it doesn’t look it…

I just need to get Tim to hang the blinds tomorrow…

Getting organized. My fabric is always such a mess, hopefully this new method can help.

Chloe is cuddly today.

Also, holy over supply batman. I think we’re coming out of a growth spurt, because during the night she latched on and holy cow I felt the rush of milk. Even more than half asleep.
Has anyone else had oversupply like this at 8 months??

Guess which is Chloe’s favorite toy.

What.

Baby is still asleep.  Lunch, Laundry, and now I’m cleaning my Art room.  And she’s still asleep.  AND she slept till 8:30 this morning.

8 month growth spurt?

So this storm that came through, maybe 4-5 days ago (I don’t really remember, being a SAHM knocks out my sense of how many days go by) killed the port on the back of my computer for internet, THAT’S why we hadn’t had it.  Bleh.

Cable guy came today though, and it’s fixed.  The computer had wireless as well, so we’re just going about it that way.

Went to the park the other day, took some cute shots of Clo-Bot.

I really need to start making these into prints so I can frame them and all.

I had dreams last night, in my dream, which was about my mom, we had found something that could prolong or even save her life.  Then, as I was excitedly telling someone about this, I realized it was too late.  My mom was already gone, so I started sobbing in the dream.  I woke up about that time because the alarm went off, and rubbed my eyes.  They were wet, I was crying in my sleep. 

I’m trying to find gentle ways to transition Clo to sleeping in her bed, it still makes Tim nervous.  And while I LOVE LOVE LOVE having her cuddle on me, I sometimes miss having my bed.  So I’m trying it.  I can’t do any crying with her, I just can’t.  It breaks my heart and she cries so rarely that I know she’s really upset when she does.

Right now we’re working on getting her to fall asleep without nursing her way there.  It’s been easy, first night she spooned my kneed and went out.  Last night she cuddled, and started making this sucking, popping sound with her lips.  I think it’s because she was falling asleep and wanted to suck on something.  =(  So I gave her a pacifier, which normally she hates, but she took it.  I’m actually happy about this, she’s been comfort nursing so much lately I’m getting sore… and it’s hard to sleep sometimes with a babe attached to you. 

This has been an update, with photos though, so it’s pretty.

Oh, I don’t usually agree with these things. But this is pretty accurate…

Park day.

Chloe wanted Tim’s sun glasses very badly.

And my hair is wild. But I’m starting to love it.

I think I may put my fear of needles aside and get a super small tattoo.
