So it's strange. Yesterday Toni refused her milk all day until I gave it to her after work and then before bedtime... without a fight. Today I pick her up and they tell me she refused her milk 2 out of the 3 times she gets it while there. She's still eating all her babyfood and even yogurt, but refused her milk twice and the one time she had it only had 4 oz. Hmmm...
I get home and let he play a bit. After awhile she gets clingy and then starts sucking her thumb. I feed her babyfood and she eats it, but not all of it. She starts getting cranky and looking tired so I get her ready for bed and get her bottle ready. When I give her her bottle, she drinks all 6 oz of it. I mean downs it. I was so tempted to get more milk but she passed out. She's dead asleep at 7pm. It's very weird.
So I'm researching and find MAYBE some possibilities as to why the sudden change. It could be teething, or that she's ready to crawl/walk; she's so interested in her new discovery and the world that is opened up to her who has time to eat. Junior also thinks maybe it's the antibiotics she's taking and maybe it's leaving a bad taste in her mouth. However, that doesn't asnwer why she doesn't give me any problems when giving her the milk. Maybe b/c I'm her mom? But I don't think it has to do with comforting... I don't think. I don't know. I'm stumped. Whatever it is I hope it goes away sooner rather than later. I was ready to up her food intake before this and now I just want her back to what she was doing.
Ear piercing. Can't remember if I blogged about it or not and as you know I have no desire to go back and check. So here it is. This past weekend I was check out her ears as I normally do every so often... just to make sure all is good and that the locks are neither too loose or too tight. Well I notice her left ear looks on a bit tight. The right ear looks fine, but the left one looks a bit tight. Which is odd b/c if anything, locks usually get loose. Not tighter. And I'm pretty sure no one messes with her ears but me, maybe. So I decide to loosen it. But when I do, her ear is bleeding and looks pretty bad. And it's kind of bulging in the back like it was on so tight. Freaked me out! So of course, I take it out and clean with alcohol expecting her to howl from the sting. But she didn't react at all. I was surprised. So I continued to clean it and applied pressure trying to stop the bleeding. It wasn't gushing or anything, but I just wanted to stop it. I ended up putting a tiny band aid on it. I left it like that over the weekend, but before school on monday I decided to take off the other earring b/c I didn't want her going to school with one earring while the other ear healed.
I know. I hated that I had to take her earrings out. I mean, they've been in long enough (well over 6 weeks) and so I'm hoping the holes don't shut. Anyway, today I notice that her ear has healed perfectly fine and so I want to attempt to put her earrings back. But it's so darn hard. I THINK the holes are still there. I started to put one in, but I cannot keep her still. Plus she can feel me doing something and so that's not going to work. I read also that you need to keep the earrins in 6 weeks after the piercing so they don't shut and after that you can change them out but that you need to continously wear them for 6 months so the hole size stays the same! oh man... I hope this week without earrings hasn't done that. I'd hate to get her ears repierced at this point where she may be old enough to remember there are earrings there and mess with them. But then what? Wait until she's old enough to know not to mess with them? That's like 5 or 6 and then she'll really know the pain! Please oh please oh please don't close!
