Birthdays
so tamara's 1st bday is coming up, well sorta, its april 13, so yea, im a little early. however, if i dont start planning it now, ill forget till her birthday to buy the fixings for it >.< yea, im a procastinator. one of the best. i didnt pack my bag for the delivery till the day Doc told me he was inducing me (it was only 2 weeks early) and we didnt get a car seat till the day before we brought her home lol.
so, im wondering what to do for my little sweet pea's birthday. strawberry shortcake, you know, the cartoon character from the 80's(maybe even 70's). well, shes back, and shes doing good. sheets, blankets, bibs, clothes, bottles, spoons, you name it, they got it lol. and my grandma has been sending us this stuff for her. and i LOVE it! i have no clue why, but i dont. cant stand sesame street, or winnie the pooh, baby loony toons is ok tho. but they also have the party fixings SS style. plates, napkins, cups etc. and of course im almost positive i can get a cake like that. but should i do that for her first bday? i mean, shes not gonna remember it. and i dont know any people with kids her age. or should i not even worry about this for her bday. i also cant NOT invite all the family members that exist, even if they are in Timbuktu, or else id get skinned, alive. and does she get her own mini cake? or do i just give her a piece of the big cake.
so today, i finally had some table food that tamara could munch on. i cut up some bananas. she gobbles those right up. after eating a size 2, and size 3 jar of baby food. i wonder if i feed her too much, but im not forcing her, and hell, even with that much food, she still doesnt turn away, spit it out, or push me away. is there any other way to know? well, i guess ill know when tamara has her next checkup, its in like 2-3 weeks, so if he says shes gained too much weight, ill know, but i dont wanna make her be hungry. also, the formula she takes doesnt fill her up. btw, i did breastfeed her. i could only manage for about a month tho. my breasts just couldnt keep up. and we'd always had problems with her latching on. so we had to switch to formula. but, like i said, she can take a full 8 0z of formula, and be screaming agian 2 hrs later. give her real food, and shes good for about 4 hours.
any suggesstions on helping her have better sleeping habits? i know, i bounce around a lot. i have ADD, :P. we cant put her to sleep before 8-830 pm or shell wake up like its a nap. and if we mess up, and she doesnt get to sleep till midnight, she WILL sleep straight thru till noon. however if we are good parents and get her to bed on time, between 8 and 10, she wakes up like ever 2-4 hrs. and requires a bottle at 6am. am i doing something wrong? please please PLEASE tell me. im at my wits end. i cant let her develope bad sleeping habits, that makes me bad mommy lol. and makes life harder for her. but both me and andrew are night owls, so stayin up till 2 am isnt a problem. hell, give us 2 days, and we both up till 5-6 am steady. its a fight for us >.<
so please, any suggestions would be VERY welcome.
