So the last few weeks have been a bit like a roller coaster. We had a few good nights of sleeping, then back to several night wakings. We are now back to waking twice a night, but at 11pm and 4-5 am, which is alot more civilised. It means that I have been getting at least 4 hours solid sleep a night. Having this extra sleep really does make the world of difference to me.
On top of some sleep/less nights, Charlotte has been quite a grizzly baby. She seems to be teething again. It doesn't seem to stop, but we can see the top teeth just about to break through. When she is teething she just wants cuddles, and does not want me to leave her side. Which is fine, but then if you pick her up and cuddle her she wants to hit, claw, scratch at you. I find this more frustrating than any other thing she does. She scratched my lip a few weeks back, and it still hasn't healed properly. She doesn't do it deliberately, just flails her arms around and collects whatever is there.
But on the positives, Charlotte is SO gorgeous right now. I look at her and want to cry because she is so precious. And the learning just keeps on happening. She started to clap her hands, and bang objects together. She has been putting objects in her mouth to crawl but has learned to throw them in front of her and crawl to them. And I know I keep saying it, but I do think she isn't far off walking. I'm since coming to realise that she possibly won't walk for a while, but it is nice to think about what may come. We took her to the park last week and she had her first go on the slippery slide. I'm not sure who was more excited, her or me, but it was fun.
Today is a swimming today and I just love being in the water with her. So better get ready for that!
