Spinning Squirrel and The Banana Eater

So today was not such a good day. Delilah was all messed up with her sleep last night which totally threw today off. We got up early, and got ready to set out for our park date....and on the way ( of which I got lost! and did not make!) I hit my very first animal....a poor squirrel. There was NOTHING I could do, he ran under my car. I was/am heartbroken. OVER A SILLY Squirrel. Let me tell you, not a good way to start the day. In addition Delilah only slept 30 minutes today, she was all messed up from yesterday, which is now spilling to tomorrow since she just went down, 10 until midnight. She had a slight fever today, and a runny nose. I think she may seriously be teething. My poor baby. The worst thing is I cannot seem to comfort her. I love that little munchkin.

Delilah tried bananas today, with help from her Grand"smom". She loved them! I am not really feeding her solid food seriously yet, just a feeding or two every couple of days. More to help with weight per the pediatrician, but I still believe she gets most of her nutrition from breast milk at this point, and should! At around 6 months I will start regular feedings. Not to mention I do not think she really gets too much in her mouth yet at most of it lands on her clothes.

Nothing else new, just preparing for a weird day tomorrow as is our night began way too late. Delilah has taught me today that through breast feeding, that I can and need to slow down. Since she does not allow me to do anything other than watch her, or TV while feeding her, including talking on the phone, that cuts a lot of time out of my day, as I feed her on demand. And the best part is, I like it. I like that she is teaching me to slow down, shut off and shut up for awhile. After all does anything else in the world matter at that moment, I think not.
