Life
The past couple days have looked like this:
We go out in public.
Little baby girl loves to look around.
Little baby girl can't get enough.
Little baby girl has huge round eyes.
Little baby girl's head bobbles back and forth and she takes in the sights.
Little baby girl decides very quickly she's had enough.
Little baby girl gets a poochy lip.
Little baby girl cries (very loudly) for an hour.
Mommy realizes, once again, her little baby girl is overwhelmed by life.
Overwhelmed by life...don't we all feel that way at times? The poor little thing is so attentive to her surroundings, new things are overwhelming. And I empathize with her...sometimes I want to cry for an hour too when life becomes too much.
Needless to say, we will be doing outings very sparingly for a while now. For now, Danielle and Mommy will be homebodies. Mommy has to be more selfless in this way for a season. As long as I remember it's a season, I can get through the cabin fever. She's worth it.

Poor little thing. But you're right, she'll get through it. On days when you need to go out with her, try doing it in the morning rather than in the afternoon or evening. It's more common for babies to get overstimulated at the end of a stimuli-filled day, than it is in the morning when they are fresh. Of course it can happen in the morning, too, just that you ahve a beter chance of her being able to handle it.
You are a good mommy for sacrificing your desire to be out for your little baby girl's need for less stimuli.
Thanks Dena. Yes, we try to do things in the morning if we have the option; it almost always works better.
We're leaving now for a teen's grad bbq party. We'll see how she does...
She did super duper and fell asleep in the middle of it!!!
Three cheers for Danielle's great day!
Yay! Yay! Yay!
So cute!!!
Happy Mother's Day, Ang!!
Happy FIRST Mother's Day, Angela!!
Your little daughter is so goreous! Happy First Mother Day! Glad she did well at the party.
This is sort of late so I hope you read it...Hana is the same way, she gets overstimulated VERY easily. What helped for us was a traditional baby carrier (not the snuggli/bjorn type), like a wrap or a mei tai. That way she was facing me and could look out if she wanted or snuggle into my chest if she needed a break. I could also use the side to support her head when she fell asleep. It might make getting out easier for you
