Still. Haha but she’s getting better at sitting independently. She LOVES activity time on her play mat, especially
the bug that plays little melodies and bird noises that Grandma Barrett got
her! She is SUPER STRONG and loves to stand with no help and very little
support from us, I think she’d really enjoy an exersaucer or jumperoo thing but
she’s too tiny. She is a big talker and LOVES to eat her hands… oh yes, and
drooling, she’s GREAT at blowing bubbles and drooling!
Dislikes: Daytime
naps. Some days it’s a struggle to get the girl to rest… UGH! And she doesn’t like
to be swaddled, but can’t sleep if she’s not swaddled. Dilemma. Haha hopefully
we can wean her off of the swaddle sooner than later! Note to self, NEVER
SWADDLE ANY OTHER CHILD WE HAVE, LET THEM LEARN TO SLEEP WITHOUT IT. She doesn’t
like getting out of the bath/getting dried off and changed. She loves being naked though!
Sleeping: Ehh daytime
naps, as I stated above are hit or miss.
She sleeps the best tummy to tummy on me, she gets the occasional
weekend long naps/snuggles with Momma. At night, she’s great! Anywhere from
5-10 hour stretches J She wakes up at most 2 times a night (1am and 5am
some nights) but mostly just once at 3am and then like clockwork at 7am. She’s a wiggle worm! We put her in the middle
of her crib at night, and she ends up way at the end in the corner… swaddled!?
Yeah, she’s something else!
Eating: Still doing
well breastfeeding. She can take bottles and is really cute when she
eats from one! It’s hard to do anything
else when I’m feeding her, she gets really distracted! So I have to look at
her, talk to her, hold her close, or else she’ll totally forget what she’s
doing and want to play. She eats really fast, like 10-15 total, with burps.
Playing: She’s so strong and fun! Wiggles her arms and legs on the
play mat, bats at toys and grabs the rings attached to the bottom of them too!
She loves looking at the mirror on the top of her mat. It’s really fun to have conversations with
her :) Mornings are her best
playtime. She definitely a morning
person! She doesn’t love to play on her
tummy as much anymore, anytime she does she’s really more interested in sucking
on her hands than rolling over like she used to.
