Emily's dad came over yesterday to spend time with her, but also so I could get some yard work done. The yard work didn't end up happening, but I got a lot done in the house! I was hopeful I could get a shower in too, but no such luck... I barely got the vacuuming done! Emily ended up reaching this time in the evening where although she wasn't really hungry - even though she kept making the noises that she wanted to please nurse - she just wanted to stay attached to the breast and fall asleep. Silly girl. I definitely can't thank her dad enough though!! I wish I had taken a picture last night, her dad is the most amazing multi-tasker! He had a sleeping baby on his chest, my 5yo next to his side, and the two of them were making origami items. Very cute!Emily has reached this interesting new stage. At just shy of four-weeks-old, her strength in personality has climbed. It's not strength in vocal personality, but grounding and with her body. When she eats now, it's with determination to get the nipple.... something I can really only place the word "ravenous" to, even though it's not out of hunger. Today I had one of my legs resting below her feet and as she grabbed the nipple she grunted and shoved her feet down to push my leg out of the way. She's been doing this with her hand, if I am tickling her or doing something she doesn't appreciate, she places her hand on mine and pushes it out of the way. Really, at three weeks old??
She's now not only occasionally holding my finger as she nurses, but regularly holding either my finger or my shirt with one hand and my shirt on the other side of whichever breast she's eating from with her other... power in nursing, she seems to be focused, LOL
What an amazing little girl :)
