Counting

Syona has been growing up pretty mighty fast recently. She can count 1-5. Sometimes she says 2 like three times so its: 1, 2...2..2, Twee, Fo, Fi, haha. Paul claims she also knows 6, 7 and that 9 comes after 8.

It's been really nice having her weaned. Although the whole process probably cost me 5+ pounds from the lack of working out during weaning to the eating without having the extra 500 calories or so burned a day. (I've been managing by just recently signing up for a trainer, starting to run again, and doing some cool cross-training and toning classes). Syona also sleeps through the night now, 7:30 to 5:30 (+/- a half hour) but she is pretty consistent. Instead of breastfeeding her in the morning, I or Paul go down to get her a bottle. She used to gulp down 10 oz and then ask for "more mum mum." So we used to go down and get her more. The other day I got smart and filled up two bottles at once and brought them upstairs (one I made extra hot for later) and so she drank her first and had a few sips of the second and went to bed. Then she woke up like 3 hours later and asked for more milk, so I handed her the bottle and she pushed it away with her hands and said "ole mum mum". I couldn't believe it! She knew it was old from before! "Ole mum mum, down". I had to lie to her and say "No Syona, when you were sleeping, dada brought you more mum mum". After saying it like 20 times she had a few sips but she never finished it.
