Sorry for the blog break. Here’s what we’ve been doing this week:
Yep, that’s us breastfeeding in the car at the Whole Foods parking lot.
Miss Leyba is going through a growth spurt! She’s gone from eating every four hours or so during the day to eating every hour. She seems to be heading back to her normal schedule today so the spurt is probably over! I could say something flippant like, “Hallelujah,” but truthfully I’ve really enjoyed it. We’ve had so much extra cuddling time together; it’s been a blast.
Finally, here’s an up close shot of Miss Leyba’s “ladybug friend” who she loves grabbing (and putting in her mouth) in the car. This is the little guy who has made our car ride trips ever so much more pleasant.
This shot is supposed to convey her point of view when she sees him. He’s mighty big to a 3 month old. I think he looks pretty cute and friendly. She’s just crazy about him.
Here’s our girl hanging with Daddy this afternoon. I think she’s put on a pound or more this week. Look at those cheeks! (and all that drool!) She’s getting really long too and starting to grow out of her clothes. I have a whole stack to pack up and store away for the next baby. Time to break out the 9 and 12 month clothes for Miss Leyba!
We’re back in the midst of teething drama… Poor babe. We’re trying to come up with a bunch of outings to do this weekend so we can distract Miss Leyba from the pain. So much for a chill long weekend! The good news is that I have help during this time because David is off. Let’s hope this tooth comes in quickly!
Yay for public nursing! The car can be convenient in a pinch. Provides shelter and a small sense of privacy. If you’re leaving and want her to fall asleep, you can put her in the car seat first, then nurse. That way she’s not disturbed by the seat belt and she’s comfy and nestled in place.
That is such a great idea! We have a big trip coming up and the car seat-breastfeeding idea is fantastic! I’ll have to try it out. Thanks! :)
