Emilia's bed time is around 7 pm, which gives me only about a 2 hour window to get out of the office and pick her up, make dinner, play with her, bathe her, read stories, and put her down in the crib. The good thing about early bedtime is I get to have some quiet, free time to myself after 7:30pm.
She really enjoys the day care. I can see that she likes the care provider and the other kids. These days, even after we get ready to leave the day care centre, she often goes back to play with the toys or other babies.
She does not walk yet, although she cruises and stands unsupported. She is now 14 months corrected so I try not to be concerned but I often wish she could walk so that I don't need to carry her when we are outside. She weighs over 25 pounds and is getting too heavy for me. She walks well when I hold her hands.
These days she does not spend much time playing with her toys. Her biggest interest is observing what grown-ups do and imitating the actions. For example, she like combing her hair in the morning while I blow dry my hair. When I put on make-up, she also picks up a body lotion tube and pretends she squeezes cream out of it and rub it on her face. She likes to open drawers and take everything out just to put it back in the drawer and close it. It is amazing how fast babies pick up and mimic. Also watch this video of her playing in the kitchen.
Since starting the day care, she's been having a runny nose, almost non-stop for two and a half months. I am really tired of seeing her with a constant runny nose (yellow, gooey stuff0. Her upper respiratory system is a little bit congested as well. We took her to her doctor but he was not half concerned. He said it's a very typical story of a baby who just started day care. We are visiting again next Thursday for immunization, so I will ask him to listen to her chest. I cannot understand how she can be sick coninuously for over 2 months - shouldn't her immune system start working by now?
