Mommy’s Diary 43: Changing and Adapting

Some week seem to be harder than others. I felt, a little, drained way this week. Kiko was whiny, cranky and cried for no apparent reason. For instance, all of a sudden she decided to hate her bath time. I usually let her hang out in the tub while I wash myself, and when I’m done, I get in and play with her. It usually takes 5 minutes for me to wash my face, hair and body. She used to stand at the ledge of the tub and watch me, sing, or do whatever. But then, all of a sudden over the past three days during our normal routine she will start to weep and scream the entire time she waits for me to join her in the tub. As soon as I get in with her, the tears dry up immediately and she is happy and wants to play as though nothing happened.

Also, it seem that as she grows and becomes aware of her surroundings, she has begun to show people preferences. For example, beginning this past weekend while at church when other people held her, she started to cry. In the past, she would go to whoever and smile at them. I’ve read this is called “stranger anxiety” in Baby Center. I know this is just a phase in her life, but this week’s been long and frustrating!

In an attempt to cheer myself up I online window shopped some fancy stuff that I’d like to put my hands on.. here is my list.

1. Nursery Wall Decal, 2. Mama and baby bunny embroidery,  3. Piggy wall decal, 4. DIY Mobile, 5. GAP Girl’s Romper, 6. Cutest kid’s room ever.
