My sweet baby Charlotte is 4 weeks today. My heart aches as she is growing so fast and yet I yearn with anticipation for the "witching hour" to be out-grown. This has been a rough week at times. The evenings are difficult to predict, some nights she is content and sleeps the evening away - only then she is wide awake from 2am-5am. Oh my heavens, was that a rough night! Then other evenings she is attention seeking the entire evening and eating nearly every 90 minutes - but then she sleeps better through the night.
This will be a busy baking week. My family is doing our traditional almond tart (think banquette into a small tart) baking today. We adore those little almond delights so much that the whole family gets into the assembly line to help out.
Then Tuesday and Wednesday bring more baking with friends and family for giving away. I'm looking forward to all of it, and praying Charlotte is content while I'm baking so I can actually contribute to the end product rather than just holding and feeding Charlotte.
Charlotte has her 1 month appt this week. The school staff Christmas party is this week, I'm hoping to attend. Then Friday, I'm going to my class's Christmas party. It will be my first time away from Charlotte, at least more than 20 minutes. Which means she needs to practice drinking from a bottle this week! I'm praying she easily accepts the bottle!
