I am a week+ late on this post, but better late than never, right!?
Juliet is motoring around the house! She is so fast at crawling that she is over at Winnie's food bowl munching on kibble before I even know she has moved!! She is also doing some cruising around the sofa/coffee table since she can pull herself up on things.
Feeding/Sleeping
Still getting up once a night. Usually around 4 am which isn't too bad, but sometimes she gets up at 2:30 am which is no fun at all.
Still doing 2 naps a day - 1 long and 1 short. If I time it right I get a little bit of overlap with Ellie. The best days are when Jules takes a short nap (30 min) at like 9:30 am and then wants to nap right when Ellie does at 1 pm. The other day they both napped for about 2 hours at the same time and I didn't even know what to do with myself!
Jules is a big eater! I often end up giving her what is leftover from what Ellie has been eating for lunch/dinner! She loves finger foods like:
Berries
Bananas
Scrambled Eggs
Waffles
Crackers
Cheese
Cheerios
Chicken
There isn't a lot she won't eat, but I do struggle with finding a variety of things that are soft enough for her to eat.
I am still nursing her but she cut way down on day time nursing this month - she just isn't really into it as much anymore so I think she won't have much of a problem switching over to milk once she turns one - i often find her stealing sips of her sister's milk and water from sippy cups and she is really good at using them now.
As much as I love nursing her, I am sort of counting down the days until I can ditch my pump for good. I have been either pregnant or nursing non stop since March 2013, so you can understand why I am ready to have my body back! I am amazed at how my view of my body has changed over the past few years - going from being angry with it because I couldn't conceive to being so proud and grateful that I have been able to grow and nurse two kids.
The Girls
Still a lot of pushing going on from Ellie's end, but now that Jules is mobile they seem to interact much more, even if it is just fighting! Ellie likes to "feed" Jules by tossing her own food onto Juliet's high chair try.
Body/Recovery
Still trying to go out on runs 2 times per week! I have been able to maintain my weight pretty well so far.
