Like a Beast

Laila has been eating like a beast! Today (well, as of 23 minutes ago, yesterday) Laila ate 16 times - and not just for short periods of time - no no, for about 1/2 an hour on average. Normally Laila eats 11 times a day and for an average of 20 minutes - quite the difference! She was also been a bit fussy and had only one real 'awake' period. I think she may be having a growth spurt! At least I hope so, because otherwise this may just be the new way that she eats and that's a bit insane.

Anyway! I chose a birth announcement and ordered it only to get an e-mail from my mom saying she liked a different one better and to not include one of the pictures on the invite I did end up picking. Gah! Too late! Whatever. Yes, the one she chose is the one I originally liked the best, but Enzio didn't like it AND it was about 30 cents more expensive. Hm.. how do you make the 'cents' sign on the computer?

I can't wait until Laila is a bit older and stays awake for longer periods (during the DAY) and sleeps more at night ... and when I can actually start to interact with her more by playing with her with toys, etc. Right now when she is awake I feel like all I can do is hold her and talk to her and try and get her to look at things... usually all she wants to look at is me or Enzio ... though sometimes she does look at this black & white book I have. I mean, she won't look at it for more than 5 minutes, but still - it's something. But then she just gets bored with it or overstimulated or god knows what and she cries and I have to coo at her and lull her back to calmness/sleep. I want to lie on the floor and play with her!
