It’s Saturday and that means it’s time for the weekly Willow update!  I enjoyed writing my pregnancy journal and sharing my journey with everyone so much that I have decided to continue by writing about Willow’s first year.  And so each week I will be sharing how my baby girl is growing and changing plus lots of pictures!

PICTURES FROM WILLOW’S 20th WEEK

WHAT WILLOW’S DAYS & NIGHTS ARE LIKE…

Sleeping:  This week has been mainly sleeping with mama all night and latched on the majority of the night.  I don’t mind since I can sleep through it and I love the snuggles.  I especially love feeling her little hand reach out to touch me.  That picture is how our nights typically go…. snapped it before turning the lights out, hehe.

Eating:  We’re still exclusively breastfeeding – Dr. Tom asked if we had started solids at Willow’s 4 month well check-up, but I plan to wait until she is 6 months old unless she shows interest sooner.  As of now she is perfectly content with the breast milk.

A First:  New Years Eve.  We went over to Uncle Andrew & Aunt Lea’s house to play board games, eat lots of food, and watch the ball drop.  Willow fell asleep at about 11:15PM so she missed the ball dropping – big sister’s made it this year for the first time though!

Places She Went:  Uncle Andrew & Aunt Lea’s house, Aunt Tiffany & Uncle Justin’s house, grocery shopping.

Other Random Stuff:  “Talking,” smiling, and drooling all the time.  She still prefers sucking her middle and index finger instead of her thumb.  Oh and now whenever I change her clothes Willow immediately starts sucking her arm and won’t quit til I get her clothes back on – crazy baby.  One of my favorite times of the day is when Alleigh and Kaelyn are napping and I get to spend snuggle time with just Willow – don’t get much quiet one on one time with a two and four year old around so I soak it up.
