Week 16
I am so confused by this whole week/month age thing. Last week Rowan technically turned 4 months (Sept. 12th to Jan. 12th) but as far as weeks go- she has been alive 18 weeks. Which when you believe about it- 1 would assume is far more than 4 months. So which is it? What is it that you simply say? A person please fill me in.
We had our 4 month appointment last week. She got a couple shots in her legs and got checked all more than. She is our small growing machine. Growin’ Rowan as we like to call her. She weighted 15lbs 11oz. mulberry salewhich put her inside the 90% and her height put her in the 95%. haha. She is so tall. She hardly fits length wise in any of her 3 month clothes anymore. haha. But then once more she looks ridiculous in 6m ones because they are too huge. Doh!
I really feel like in the last week she has learned so considerably! She can almost roll over from her back to her belly now. She twists all around on her play mat so she can reach for toys she likes. We had her in bed the other morning with us and she dropped Sophie down beside her. She couldn’t reach it any longer and we watched her figure out how she could move her body and arm together to flip and pull the sheet so the toy would comes closer to her. It was awesome. She was learning right just before our eyes.
She also has learned her very first game. She does this thing inexpensive bridesmaid dresses now after you hold her, she holds her hand out to you and she wants you to pretend to eat her fingers. She gets so excited if you do it. haha. It’s so cute. She just keeps putting her hand out for you to do it once more and again. She loves it.
We nonetheless swaddle her when she sleeps (naps and at bedtime). How lengthy did you use a swaddle? We use the velcro type, so I don’t know when its time to cease swaddling because she cannot break out of it. I’m afraid to bridesmaid dresses cheap not use it although. I know she wont sleep as great. She sleeps so superior for us and I’m slightly scared to give that up. How did you ween off the swaddle?
We also get to start feeding her Rice cereal!! So excited!! We will be certain to document it. I know it’s going to be hilarious.
