Lynsey wants to know "why not"

The last few days have been a bit difficult on both the Adam and Lynsey front. Adam was doing a lot better at night, quite consistently sleeping through with maybe one or two short wakings during the night. The last two nights haven't been good, though. He's been waking up and crying without calming down - I've had to take him into bed a lot again. I am not totally discouraged, because I think it might just be a phase he's going through, but it is a little disappointing because he was doing so well for so long. He's been super hungry the last few days, and a little constipated because I started giving him some baby food (which he absolutely loves by the way!) so that may well have something to do with him not being as content at night. His ridiculous appetite continues to amaze me! I can hardly keep up! I'm down to only pumping once a day, and am on pace to be done pretty much at 6 months. I am looking forward to being done.

As far as Adam's development goes, he continues to progress! A few days ago, he started actually jumping in his jolly jumper! He might jump off some of those thunder thighs yet:). He is showing signs of possibly sitting sometime soon - he still leans forward a lot, but he can straighten up and has corrected himself sometimes when almost falling over. I have hope that I will have a "sitter" yet!

Lynsey has been a bit difficult the last little while. It's almost like she is entering the "terrible twos" late! She gets whiney really easily when things don't go her way, and has started fighting naps and bedtime more than ever before. We are trying to establish boundaries so that she knows who's in charge, and she does relent eventually, so I feel like we just need to be consistent and she'll get through this stage okay. My patience has been tested a lot lately, and I've come up quite short a lot of days. I do have to also talk about how sweet she's been at times to balance this out:). She just loves her brother, and he gets more hugs than he knows what to do with! She plays with him as much as is possible at this stage, and it actually has started helping me a bit. She has definitely entered the "Why" stage in full force, and lately she's been asking "Why not" a lot as well. We have an intelligent, inquisitive little girl and although she is testing me a lot, I do feel lucky to have her!
