Miriam & the sleep of the just
(& innocent)
…that’s not the look on her face–it’s the look on mine whenever I see this picture! Miriam is now 5 1/2 months old. And so beautiful!
She and her brother just took their first solid food! Unlike their older brother, Jonah, who hated the insipid breakfast mush that you feed infants and who even hated bottled baby food–they LOVE it! Adin in particular gets his whole body shaking when he sees that spoon coming.
Miriam is a more difficult sleeper than Adin, who crashes and sleeps the entire night. Until recently, she wanted to sleep every single moment next to her Mom. We’ve nipped that in the bud and now have her sleeping either in a bed alone or upstairs in her crib.
I’ve found that caring for both them by myself isn’t quite as scary and intimidating as I thought it might be. But I should add that when she was sick a few weeks ago taking care of both of them alone was HELL personified. What a difference wellness makes!
