Aftermath of the Malaysia trip...

Clearly, the extensive travelling did not do Jacynth any good at all. Coming back to the hottest summer in Perth's record only made matters worse. She came back from Malaysia already with heat rashes on her face, but more appeared in the full heat of summer. Also, she has been really resistant to sleep so whenever she didn't get enough sleep, she would be cranky and unsettled...

kicking herself down the rocker...

The dummy (or better known as pacifier) was pretty helpful to settle her but she soon learned to play with it and would start crying once it's out of her mouth. So, we decided to ditch it altogether.

Meanwhile, her thumb has found its way into her mouth so that was good. 

 

It has been a month since we arrived back here and while we have established a pretty good routine for her and for ourselves, we are still working on her sleep issues. Perhaps there is more than meets the eye, since her feeds have also been somewhat affected. On top of that, she started rolling two weeks ago so it has become harder to settle her in the cot since she just wants to roll and roll and roll, while still not being able to fully control her body...

so, sometimes she gets stuck! ;p

On rare occasions, we would be able to settle her to sleep in her stroller when we are out and about. Here we were in the creche room in church. When she does get enough sleep, the reward is truly amazing! And that is up next! ;D
