Morgan Kate

My baby girl is not quite six months old and we are already having "clothes issues".

First issue at hand, Morgan Kate does NOT like for me to put anything over her head. Therefore, anytime I try to slip a shirt over her head or pull a onesie on she screams at the top of her lungs. Now for quite some time, up until last week actually, we didn't really even attempt to pull things on over her head because of the cannula. Way too much work involved! I was so excited about being done with the cannula because there were numerous onesies I was dying for her to wear. I always thought she would be a diaper and onesie kind of girl. I think I was wrong. Maybe she's not happy about it because she's just not used to it. However, for the past three nights I have attempted to pull something over her head and she has screamed each time. The first two nights I ended up winning. I won because I was quick and I was singing at the top of my lungs , which she happens to like. (Trav doesn't really like it, but MK does.) Tonight I lost and just gave up. 

Second issue, finding clothes that fit. Morgan Kate will be six months next week, but she doesn't wear clothes according to her birthdate. She wears clothes according to her due date (December 3rd). Baby clothes are just like all the other clothes out there. Sometimes a size fits perfectly, sometimes the same size is a little too snug, and other times that same exact size is too big or too long. All newborn labels read 5-8 pounds. Well, my little love bug is ten and a half pounds and width wise the newborn clothes work. They just happen to be about three centimeters too short and her toes have no where to go. So, I attempt to try 0-3 month clothes. Some fit perfectly, others are too small and then others are way too large. Our "fit perfectly" pile is way smaller than the other piles. And 3 month clothes? Ha! Not even going there. My baby girl gets lost in those clothes.

Thankfully these are both very small issues. She will eventually (hopefully) allow me to put things over her head or else her selection is going to very limited. There may be a lot of button up shirts in her future. And she is going to continue to grow each day and those 3 month clothes will eventually fit. I am just glad we aren't having to deal with short shorts or revealing shirts. Yet. I should probably go ahead and start praying for that now.

Naptime. Our morning nap didn't work out too well because our home health nurse came by. Morgan Kate slept for a little while this morning, but then our nurse needed to check her temp and things like that. However, this afternoon MK napped for almost two and a half hours. I was actually able to get a little laundry done and cook dinner. Most of the time I was in her room just "checking in" and watching my angel sleep. So peaceful. 

So peaceful earlier today, but she is giving her Daddy a fit right now. He just finished feeding her and it's bedtime, but she's not cooperating.
