As I was warned, having Maris has been humbling. Picky eaters bug me and I love to sleep. Macie slept thru the nite by 6 wks (mostly), and eats tons of stuff (not as much as she used to though). Our dog sleeps all night, always has. ha! Maris... she's a picky eater and she still isn't sleeping thru the nite. Well, she does sleep until 4 or 5, if we are really lucky 6. So, technically, that is thru the nite, right? But, I still nurse her to sleep for naps and bedtime. Ugh. She will sit in her high chair for 5 minutes or so and then tries to escape by scooting down under the tray. I always give in and let her out because I am tired from trying to get dinner cooked then cut up on the girls' plates and on mine. (John is rarely home before dinner) I just want to eat in PEACE! So, she gets down after two bites and entertains herself while we eat. Last night she ate her avacado off her plate in her high chair, then got down and ate a piece of egg off the floor from breakfast and some Pirate Booty chees puffs she found left over from her snack earlier. I joke that I should just scatter her dinner around the floor under the table and she would eat it. For lunch today she had a chicken nugget in the car and 4 french fries. That doesn't include the nugget that she chewed on and then spit out in my hand. Lovely. When offered some foods, most foods, she blows a razzberry at it and turns her head away. What the heck? Anyway.... I am not sure who all reads this, but I don't want a lecture or advice. Just venting. I know what the problem is. I have a million excuses and I just can't get there yet. I do have to say to all those people that I secretly looked down on for: nursing too long, not eating well, not sleeping..... "SORRY, Now I know why!!!!!!!" Hopefully, I can get everyone whipped into shape before its too late!
I have been horrible at updating this blog. I hope to post some picts soon.

Roonie - Sorry to hear that Maris is more challenging than Macie. All I can say is, I know you're a good Mom. So much so, that I will be counting on you for advice when my time comes.
two words: space cakes.
they'll make maris simultaneously hungry and sleepy! ha! ;)
so sorry to hear that your maris prefers to eat like a hen and wake up like a rooster. Poor you and john! hang in there. she'll surely outgrow this stage before too long...right?? (sending hugs to y'all)
Yep, the second is totally different from the first. In good and bad ways. We're just getting a sampling of it all! I'm there with ya, kiddo.
