Sleeping Pattern:
We are finally getting into a routine, a real routine. By the end of this month, you were taking two regular naps each day, each one anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, but usually closer to an hour or an hour and a half. Your sleeping schedule looks something like this:
- 7:30 a.m. --- wake up
- 9:00-10:30 a.m. --- morning nap
- 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. ---afternoon nap
- 8:30 p.m. --- bedtime
Eating Habits:
You nurse four times a day and eat 3 meals a day. By the end of the month, this was our general routine.
- 7:30 a.m. --- nurse
- 8:15 a.m. --- eat 3 tablespoons of cereal mixed with formula and sometimes fruit
- 11:00 a.m. --- nurse and then eat 4 ounces of homemade baby food, fruits and/or vegetables
- 3:00 p.m. --- nurse
- 5:00 p.m. --- eat 4 ounces of baby food followed by 2-3 tablespoons of cereal made with water or formula
- 7:30 p.m. --- nurse
Personality, etc.:
You are becoming more and more fun! You LOVE your big sister and smile at her all the time! And you really love your daddy. There are a lot of times that you are fussy with me and then as soon as your daddy takes you from me you calm down. When he is not at work he is usually the one to put you to bed for naps or bedtime because you go to sleep better for him than for me. You are enjoying playing with toys and you love looking out the window or being outside. Sometimes when you are fussy, going outside is the only thing that calms you down. We finally got your little swing hung on the swingset and you love to be pushed in it. Also, we have gone to the pool a few times and you love being in the water. . . as long as I'm holding you. :)
Accomplishments & Habits:
This month you started putting your toes in your mouth (6/13) and then you finally rolled from your back to your tummy on 6/14 - yay! I watched you do it for the very first time in the morning (and instantly ran outside to where your daddy was working and told him about it) and then you just kept doing it for the rest of the day! A few days later (6/17) you sat up for longer than 30 seconds - it was your first time to really sit up on your own without falling over just a few seconds later. By the end of the month you were sitting up like a pro. This month you have also started shaking and banging your toys more deliberately and holding your toys for 5-10 minutes instead of dropping them within a minute or two. Of course, now that you’ve mastered holding onto them, you have decided it’s really fun to throw them too. :)
Anything else:
You are finally off the Propranalol - the medication you were taking twice daily for your nasal tip hemangioma. I’m a little nervous that it’s starting to become more noticeable, but we will wait a few more weeks and be sure before talking to the doctor about going back on the meds. It may just be that I’m paranoid.
