In a nutshell, media and electronics drive me crazy in the sense that they distract from natural human interaction causing relationships to be less real in my opinion. In some aspects they are useful and convenient, but all-in-all, the distract from the real beauty in life.
We should all take a lesson from this girl....
LOVED her blog on this. Please read.

If she wrote a book, I would totally read it.

Rawr.
Pria had her first lil fever a couple days ago. April 21st to be exact. It didn't last longer than 12 hours and she handled it pretty well. Didn't go over 100 so it was a moderate one. She had a restless sleep which kept mommy up of course. I was very focused on making sure she didn't get extra hot in bed. On top of that the vineyard tractors were working at 1am for a couple hours! It was pretty ridONKulous and perfect timing you could say...
I am sick for the first time in forever too. Sore throat today. Headaches yesterday. Who knows what is next... How do you tell if a baby gets a sore throat if they get those...?
I have always been into essential oils but I am getting more and more into them as I use them on Pria and in our diffuser at home. They aren't cheap so I am getting more and more slowly. I enjoy them. I think they are a much better/natural remedy than modern medicine.
She is growing so freakishly fast. She will be tall like her daddy. She is now wearing size 9-12 months size clothes because she is so long and her legs are chunk-lish-ous. 20 pounds right now too. We may have to get a new car seat pretty soon because it is getting too small for her. As well as a new stroller. $$$. Speaking of the car seat. She is beginning to show her... lack of interest in it... As soon as we start to put her in she fusses. But once she's buckled in and distracted with a toy she is good. But I am sure she will figure out how we distract her very soon...
She only has 3 naps a day now. It was 4 a day. (pout).
She pushes herself all around the carpet now. One second you have her facing one way and the next second she is the other way around and scooting away. Her legs are so strong. Loves to kick and kick. She is so hyper. I can't IMAGINE when she can walk. I will be getting my exercise chasing her around the house for sure. We will never see the cats again either haha. Under the bed they will go.
She is no longer grunting like a bear. She is now growling like a tiger. It is pretty cute.

Pria stuff
It's time to write an update of Pria's developments. I also just wanted to write time frames of when certain things happened for myself. Since this is basically my diary/baby book thing. I recently read my mom's baby book for me and there are a lot of exact dates for everything. No I don't have one of those books. I will keep track of exact dates for the big stuff like when she has her first food, starts crawling, walks, says her first word kind of stuff but not everything. As long as I keep a general idea of when she did stuff on here or somewhere that is fine with me.
-Pria started doing pushups at 4 months.
-She started enjoying tummy time finally at 3.5 months-ish.
-She began real laughs in January when we house-sit for my moms boss... 3 months?
-She started grabbing EVERYTHING at like 4 months
-She is now turning over from her back to tummy. Usually babies start the other way around with going from their tummy to their back. So I guess she is skipping a step.
-I just started her sleeping in her crib for naps during the day. She still co-sleeps with us. I prefer it. And I will most likely do it for a long time. But during the day when she naps by herself I want her in the crib since she has started turning over and scooting around. I don't want her falling off our bed while I am not in the room.
-She loooves crazy noises right now. So I try to bang things together for her like kitchen tools and stuff. Ha.
-She got her first bouncer around her 5 month mark from Grandma :) It is funny to watch her little feet make the whole bouncer move around.
-Pria enjoys examining peoples faces right now also. Even if it sometimes means she tries to pull your bottom lip off or rip facial hair off.
Pria has not been sick yet (knock on wood, or whatever...) Over Christmas she had the sniffles for a few days but it didn't last more than a week and she wasn't bothered by it. It wasn't really much.
Falling asleep:
She is generally pretty easy to put down to sleep. As long as there is some sort of humming noise involved haha. Up until recently she normally fell asleep nursing. But now we turn on the oven fan when it is time for her nap time and I rock her to sleep under it while humming soothing songs (Although sometimes I have a unique song stuck in my head like Phantom of the Opera and so that's what I put her to sleep with lol). If Dustin is on a phone call for work we will go into the bathroom and I turn on the bathroom fan along with the blow dryer on low and she enjoys the heat as well as the noise. It's kinda funny.
If we are out doing errands or something, she will fall asleep in her carseat at nap time or in her Bjorn baby carrier while I am walking around a store. So it is safe to say she likes to fall asleep with noise.
She now has 3 naps a day. It was 4 naps a day and occasionally she still will if we are not home much during the day and her naps are shorter.
Food:
I plan on giving Pria her first food on her half birthday, April 26th. I am thinking an avocado or banana.. Still researching the best thing for her to start with. She has definitely become very interested in the fact that everyone else is eating and putting food in their mouth. She of course tries to grab our food while we try to eat but sometimes I think that is just because she simply wants to grab it.
Well that's all for now.
Until the next update during one of her naps...
Peace.
