Strollin

For some reason, Mondays aren’t too bad anymore. I’ve noticed that the past few Mondays haven’t really felt miserable, which is a nice change. Milo and I just hung out and played a bit. She spent time pushing her walker around. She even flipped it over and inspected the wheels. She got a little frustrated when it was flipped over, but she was eager to get those wheels in her mouth.

Milo has begun to get frustrated when she can’t do things or have things. For instance, when we take things away from her, she’ll cry. When she flipped the walker over and then wanted to flip it right side up again, she cried. She’ll often get over it quickly, but I’m still a little uncertain about how much I should help her when she fusses like this.

Naps have been difficult. She’s in a phase where she’s probably transitioning to only 2 naps per day most days, but some days she still needs 3. So it’s hard to get her to sleep a lot of the time, even if she’s really sleepy. Today, she was up from 3-8, so bed time was sort of easy but also difficult because she was so fussed.

We took a trip to the grocery store today, and Milo was pretty good in the stroller. She wanted to get out while we were going down the street, but she eventually sat back and held on to her toys while we strolled. I’m still uneasy using the stroller because it’s not as natural as just walking around with her in the ergo. It can be difficult to get down the stairs and get her set up in the stroller (we keep it in the lobby), and it’s even harder to get everything settled when we get back to the building with groceries. But hopefully I can work it out because she’s getting pretty heavy to be in the ergo all the time.
