Yesterday was a good day for Elana. When she came into our lives, she did not seem to know how to drink. She would not take a bottle and if you poured liquid in her mouth, it would come right out. She did not seem to know how to drink. We ended up buying an eye dropper to squirt liquid in her mouth.
When we got home, we started using a bottle that Mia used to learn how to drink. In about a three day period, Elana is now drinking out of a straw. That is a big accomplishment. We can probably transition her into a cup with a straw.
Last night, Elana woke up at about 12:30am. When she wakes up, the whole house wakes up with her. She may be small, but she has some big lungs. We changed her diaper and I decided to try and get her back to sleep. She laid on my chest for a couple of hours. Finally, I decided to drop to the floor. At this point, I was able to scoot her to the floor. She whimpered at first. I slowly tried to get up. At this point, she burst out in another crying fit. Angie took my place. She was able to get her back to sleep.
I am tired, but not any more than usual. This might be the best way of getting her back to sleep until she is used to everything.
