2-3 months

• September – “Lunch at La Cantera.” I started meeting with my friends every Thursday for lunch at the food court…so much fun!

• Best compliment- “She is so alert!”
• Rachel cries often but is consoled by the bouncy excersize ball we sit on and the blowdryer. We spend HOURS doing this.
• She still hates the swing.
• I watched TV the most this month, because she demanded to be held and breastfed constantly.
• The nursery lady told me to let her “cry it out” and it upset me. I wanted to tell her, “My baby is hurting! …not spoiled! I may be new at this, but I know her better than anybody in this world and certainly better than you!” In retrospect, I think she was trying to help, but it made me feel like she was questioning me as a mother. I was very emotional!
• She liked to sit on my lap and lean against my legs while facing me.
