I continue to have the cold that will not die, though except for the first day or so I've been mercifully able to function despite it. Unfortunately, now the Megatherium has got it (or some other cold-- it's totally possible that my problem is I had two colds back to back) and today she is Cranky Baby!!! Poor thing. She decided to be weaned last thursday, and of course turned up all dribbly-nosed by Saturday now that she's all on her own for immuno-function. Now I get to start worrying about making sure she actually is taking in complete nutrition all by herself. (I mean, I was trying to do so before-- hence the asking about toddler foods, and thank you to all of you who responded!) I am rediscovering garments I haven't been able to wear for the last year or two, and contemplating bra shopping with unenthusiasm. (I have a couple non-nursing bras that aren't quite dead yet, but if anyone has recommendations on where to find actually supportive non-underwire bras for the smallish bust, I'd love to hear about it.)
The weather continues in its wild mood swings-- today it's snowing again, last Thursday was up to 70 (and we went to the zoo!) and next Friday is predicted to be back up there again. This child continues to want to go outside and either trot up and down the sidewalk or watch the excitement of the world while strapped to my chest. (Did I mention we found an outward-facing carrier with actual back support for the adult at a price I was willing to pay? Baby Bjorn. It's a hit.) She can even pick which option she wants. I say something like, "Go to the door if you want to walk by yourself, or you can bring me the carrier if you want me to do the walking." And she makes a choice. Madness. Other choices, such as "which book would you like?" don't always work as well-- hold out two books and she's liable to grab both of them.
And now cranky baby of crankiness is awakening, so I'd better go see about that.
