Still adjusting...
We're almost through our second week of solids and Miss Molly is still adjusting. Last Friday we started on sweet potatoes and she seems to be loving them. The problem comes throughout the day as she tries to digest them. Molly has never really fussed without a reason. Usually she's just letting you know she's hungry or needs her diaper changed or is just darn tired. When she doesn't have an immediate need to be met and demon child decides to make a visit normally you look back an hour later and realize all those poopy diapers you just cleaned was the reason for the visit. She's all smiles once everything passes, but she's been having a harder time getting things to pass these last two weeks. Her system is going through a transition, but we've had a couple rough nights.
Little one decided to wake up at 3:30 this morning and keep mommy up for an hour and a half. It's been a while since I've had to get up when it's dark out and it really does take its toll. N was nice enough to go change Molly and bring her to mommy in bed when she woke up again. Sometimes she'll snooze after breakfast for a bit, but not this morning. She was raring to go. Can't wait for her to get used to solids and have them fill her up and knock her out rather than cause her issues. Hopefully this is just a transition and not a sign that Molly has inherited the Marsh stomach.

Picture catch-up.
Here are all the pics of Molly from my camera since January 25th. :)

Solid foods
So, Miss Molly woke up last Friday morning in a bad mood. The little one was quite pissy and the only conclusion I could come to was that she was hungry and needed more. She had been gradually sleeping less at night and I've read that can happen when it's time to introduce solids. So I decided it was time to give her something more than the rice cereal she has been having. I had picked up some carrots the last time we were in Tahoe (doc recommended we start off with veggies and carrots was all the store up there had). Well, since Molly woke me up before my boobs did I wasn't fully awake. In my sleepy state I *might* have mixed up ounces and tablespoons and there's a *possibility* I gave Molly a little bit *too* much her first time. Maybe. Possibly. Slight chance. Ok, I did. Let's just say she had some digestive issues that day and demon child made a visit.
The last few days we've given her less and mixed in some breast milk to help it go down better and that seems to have done the trick. I never thought I'd say this, but I rather miss those breast milk only poopy diapers. Who knew? Since the carrots don't quite pass through the little one as easily she's been a bit fussier at night and we've had some issues getting her down and having her stay down. But once she's down she seems to be sleeping a bit more each night so I think we're on the right track with the solids. Her body just needs to adjust to the new materials.
Molly has also moved up to the convertible car seat. It's rear facing now until she reaches her first birthday and then it will be front facing. Hence the name. She can't quite pass out as easily in it since she's sitting more upright and is not as reclined as she was in her infant car seat, but she seems to be taking to it ok. The real bummer is that you can no longer "pack her up" in the house and take her out to the car. That and if she's fallen asleep in her stroller when you're out and about you have to wake her to get her into the car. I found myself at the mall yesterday doing some extra shopping after I made some returns on the outfits she's already grown out of because she had finally passed out in her stroller and I didn't have the heart to wake her. Hey, it was all stuff for Molly to wear next week when she grows out of her current size.
