Lots of shedding..

Lots of shedding - both hair and tears - around here.

Natalie's hair is officially shedding. I thought maybe we were in the clear since everything seemed to be staying put for so long, but this week it's definitely falling out. Every morning her sheet is lined with little hairs. There is not an official bald spot, yet, but I suspect one is coming.

She has also been fussing when we put her in her car seat. The usual trick of feeding her and then immediately putting her in the chair works for the most part, but this weekend we were out running errands and she wanted nothing to do with the seat. We carried her while we were out, but when it was time to leave, she screamed...all the way home..with real tears and all. It took a while to get her calmed down again after we were home, but eventually she fell asleep.

She is so curious about everything that she wants to be awake and looking around when she should be sleeping. I think another reason is that she seems to be going through another growing phase. She has wanted to eat more the past 2 days, so hopefully once we're through this she will be back to her happy self.

Here's some pictures in her after-bath attire. We usually put on a beanie until her hair is dry. And, we tried out the Bumbo for a few minutes - she seemed to like it. She kept looking downward - not sure what was so interesting!
