We have been getting plenty of smiles these days! And what parent doesn't love getting a ton of smiles from their newborn?! We have also recently started putting her in a bumbo seat (the blue thing she is sitting in). It's great for building neck/head strength. I don't keep her in there too long because there is nothing for her to rest her head on and it gets pretty floppy after awhile. She has become a TV addict! Even when she is on the floor playing on her play mat (which is underneath the TV) she turns her head and looks up at it! And if you're holding her she will follow it with her eyes as you rock back and forth.
Bed time has become a production. I'm trying to get her to go to bed earlier than the usual 10-10:30. It's been a little bit of a struggle. Before I knew when to do her last feeding and now I don't. I want her to be in bed by 8:30 which has worked a few times. When she has gone to bed earlier it results in multiple wake up times during the night. I think we need to cut out some of her day time naps to help make her more tired when bed time comes. She's been all smiles and wide-eyed at 12:30 a.m.!! That's not ideal when I go back to work!And by 4:30 she no longer wants to sleep in her crib instead she sleeps in her swing for a few more hours.
More recently she started rolling onto her side!! She usually does it while on her play mat, but there are little bars that go up and over the mat which prevent her from rolling onto her belly (not that I think she is ready to go that far yet!)
Also, breastfeeding seems to still be going well. I'm planning to pump when I go back to work. Hopefully pumping will go well so we can continue with the b-milk!! :)
