The rest of the weekend was fun at Jer-Bear's and Anne's. We even got some pictures with Grammy and baby with her apple onesie on before she outgrows it.
Every week I ask myself the same question... Where does the time go? All of the sudden the day is over and our baby has gotten bigger and has developed some new small yet important developmental skill. Unfortunately this week she has decided that taking a bottle is no longer acceptable... Really??!! So that means she eats and eats all morning long, starves herself for 7 hours and then binges on milk when I return from work. This creates quite the upset to her temperament (not to mention Gus'). So we tried syringe feeding... no go. All of the 4 bottle choices... no go. Looks like rice cereal and breast milk is happening on Monday, which is actually a little bit sad for me. Rice cereal means the introduction to real foods, which means she is growing up. Why am I sad about it? Well, our baby is getting older! It's okay though, because I truly do love every step of this parenthood. Another sign that she is getting older was our swim class this week. The instructor asked how old Sierra was (because 5 months is when they can first submerge), and I responded next week she will be 5 months. Strange how quickly time flies.
Sierra and I decided there is no need to have a tree (there isn't the space for it anyhow), so we used laundry line and close pins for the ornaments. In the spirit of the holiday I gave her all of her gifts early (AS USUAL for me). Socks, bath toys, a hat, and a doorway bouncer... which she really loves (but we need padding on the door frames so she doesn't hit her head on the edges).
