Almost Two2

It’s hard to believe that it’s been two years since Miss D decided to join us on her own schedule. Like January/February, this is not a time of pleasant memories, and even at the best of moments I feel uneasy as we approach any “important” dates. I’ll be happier when we’re past it.

There’s not all that much of note to report this week, as we worked on getting back to our normal schedule following the long weekend. Dorrie continued to do very well with her prune food, and so we have now begun adding carrots to a different meal. If we can successfully introduce enough foods, we’ll be able to perhaps cut down on the amount of formula with the ultimate goal being to stop the overnight feeds altogether. I’m very hopeful that if we can manage this, it will lead to a big improvement in her sleeping.

We had some success during the week with getting her to take decent naps during the daytime, though this did not continue over the weekend, so I’m not sure what to think there.

We’re still waiting on word of the new chair/stroller arriving; I’m getting very impatient now. The stander is great, of course, but I see how well that fits her and I feel bad when we have to squash her into that tiny Tumbleform chair to sit.

Dorrie also received her birthday present from Grammy and Uncle Jonathan, which is a Little Tikes swing and slide. This is something which I had seen a picture of on another blog, and I thought it would be great for Dorrie. Both of the toys do not really require her to do much, so she can use them now with our help and hopefully play with them on her own some time in the future. So far, though, she is absolutely terrified of it and has added a new expression to her repertoire in its honor.

I don’t like this

And just to prove we don’t torture her all the time.
