Diapers: Size 3, but we will probably need to move up to the next size in a few weeks.
Schedule: You eat 7 times per day. You have 2 feedings in the morning before I go to work, you have 3-5oz bottles while I'm at work (recently increased from 4 oz.) and two feedings in the evenings. You still take several naps during the day with at least 1 longer nap in the morning and afternoon (if Cici is lucky :)).
We usually start your bedtime ritual around 7:45 since you are already pretty sleepy. For the past several weeks you have been waking up in the middle of the night to eat. I think it must have just been a long growth spurt because the past couple of nights you haven't needed to eat.
Food: You are still nursing exclusively. This month you went through a phse where you woudl get extremely distracted while you were eating. You would break to msile at your Cici or your Daddy, stare at the cieling, squeel - just about anything would distract you! It seems to be getting a little bit better, so hopefully we are coming out of the phase. We will start adding regular foods next month!
Temperment/Personality: Your personality shows more and more each day. You really enjoy to be outside and around people and are such a sweet little girl. You smile and laugh really hard when we tickle your feet or blow on your belly. It's a deep belly laugh and I love it!
Likes: Shelby! You LOVE Shelby! And I'm sure the feeling is mutual. The other day, you were sitting in your exersaucer and Shelby came over. You grabbed her face with both hands and brought it to you for lots of kisses. You had your mouth wide open and were smiling so big while she licked your face. I'm not a big fan of her licking your face, but it was still cute.
You have been riding in your stroller without the carseat and you have enjoyed being able to see out. It makes it more comfy and cool for naps.
You also enjoy right after bathtime while I put your lotion on. You just smile and talk and are so sweet that I could just eat you up!
Dislikes: Having a wet diaper, especially when you are trying to eat. We have learned to check your diaper before we try to feed you.
Happenings: You are grabbing at everything and trying to put it in your mouth. It's getting much harder to drink or eat while holding you because you want whatever we have.
You have also really made some improvements with sitting up. We've been practicing for several weeks on the couch and you can sit up for a few seconds on your own on the floor. When I put you on the bed, you sat up for a long time and were so proud of yourself!
You are rolling and scooting all over the place when we put you on your activity mat. Sometimes it takes a toy to entice you to roll over, but once you get going it's really fun to watch. We have noticed that you have really become interested in your toys more and some of the things that you didn't play with before are starting to become your favorites.
You are starting to lose your hair. :( I didn't realize how much you had lost until I looked back at some old pictures. It's also starting to get lighter which makes it look even thinner. I'm just hoping you don't end up with a mohawk before it starts coming back.
