Collins has really developed and changed this month.
What's new?
*We are fully on finger foods! I still have a few pouches left that I throw in the diaper bag for the church nursery and any other emergency situation. However, C prefers to feed herself.
*Speaking of foods, we've thrown a lot of new things her way this month including: garbanzo beans, rosemary quinoa, yogurt, tilapia, Brussels sprouts, roast beef, brown rice, blueberries, avocado, lemon chicken, and cantaloupe among many others. She really eats what we eat now, so it's been much harder to keep up with all that's new. She loves everything and is a great eater! She does not like peach cups. They are the only things she's refused.
*Before this month, C could turn from her back to her front intentionally, but never really cared to use that skill. This month, she is such a wiggle worm and flips around all over the place!
*Going from laying down to sitting is a new and favorite skill this month. The first time she sat up, she couldn't figure out how to lay back down. Lots of crying ensued from her crib. I was shocked when I clicked the monitor on to check on her. I helped her lay down and she went right to sleep. Poor girl. That's not an issue any more. She's mastered it!
*C pulled up for the first time this month! What!?! She grabbed onto a bar that was chest level and pulled to standing. I was not expecting that! It hasn't happened since, but I have a feeling more of that is right around the corner.
*She still isn't crawling, but boy is she close. She CAN scoot herself.
*Rolling balls back and forth to me.
*Her hair is really growing this month and is definitely blonde!
*We started a music class this month with a few of her friends from the 'hood. She loves it!!
Loves:
*Hannah and Daisy. She BELLY laughs with the two of them around. It's so much fun!
*Splashing and bath time.
* The remote control
*Anything with a tag on it
* Looking in the mirror
*Stroller rides and being outside
*Jumparoo
*Pulling things out of bags and boxes, turning over said boxes and banging on them
*Putting EVERYTHING in her mouth
*Being read to
*Momma's milk
*Being held and cuddled
Not a fan of:
*Drinking water. Cannot get her to drink it!
*Diaper changes
C had a major cold this month. Sleeping was hard, so falling asleep on momma was a comfort....I'll take it! Babies don't keep 😢
She wiggled her way over to Daisy.
C loves Sis and Sis is beginning to tolerate C.
Grand mommy came through town on her way to visit a cousin. C enjoyed seeing her!
Schedule:
C is sleeping about 12 hrs at night and generally wakes around 6:30-7. She's taking two naps a day that range from 1.5-2 hours each. She's eating two large meals and one smaller one during the day and nursing 4xs. I'm about to drop one. I just need to get her drinking water!
We love you Collins and can't wait to see what the next month has in store!
