Squash...
...is the newest food added to Gretchen's menu. I think tonight we'll try something green--either green beans or peas. I don't think it will go as well as the squash did, but that's ok. :)
We're pretty sure that Gretchen's over her first ear infection. It's been 11 days since we started her on antibiotics, and she seems to be on the mend. Not that she acted like her ears were hurting when we took her in, but her cough is much better than it had been and she doesn't have a constant runny nose any more. Woo!
Chris made the realization on Saturday that the reason that Gretchen is not sleeping through the night is because I wake up every time she cries and if it's been more than 5 minutes of "Paging mom" cries, I'll get up and get her a bottle. The last two nights, we let her go about 10-15 minutes and she would fall back asleep on her own. She never got to the point of sobbing like when she rotates herself and gets her legs stuck between the crib bars. So, I'm guessing that if I wasn't as attentive to her every sound, she'd have been sleeping through the night for some time now. :P
