That is what a gentleman said to me in passing as he observed you. And boy is he right.
You are growing growing and growing some more. And learning in between. I guess just doing what babies do best!!
Presently you are a whopping 16.8lbs. Golly Miss Molly! I've increased your food intake a bit more as you seemed to need a little extra tastes in the day to decrease your snacking at night. Sometimes it works other times no. But so far you haven't been having parties at 2-4am like you did a few weeks back (putting your mom in a tearful state).
Speaking of food you have increased your cuisine. Parsnips, pears, beef, chicken, eggs, cheese and yougert, just to name a few.
Feeding you can be a little challenging at times as you like to get your hands on everything! And I mean everything...that isn't food. Whether it's the fruit basket, books, or even your bumbo tray. You seem to be showing indicators that you are going to give me a run for my money.
And back to the sleepless nights. We are fully comitted to sleep training you now. And some days are fantastic. Especially if we get those naps in and catch you at just the right time for bed. You will just turn your head after your book and song and fall fast asleep. Other times you may cry for two hours straight. And boy can you cry/scream! Yikes!
You are a monkey. But I see a little light at the end of the tunnel. Who knew I would be this obsessed with sleep but as my mom put it, I haven't had a full nights sleep in 6 mos. and really before then two mos. with sleepless pregnancy sleep. So guess what?! I want sleep too! Ha ha.
In all seriousness we are having lots of fun. I've enrolled I stroller aerobics and you are the cutest. As I am working out you are rolling around and shrieking your baby shriek with your toys.
We continue to go swimming and you love it you water baby. You particularly had fun when we were in the pool in Jasper with Granny and Daddy. I think baby swimming is in your future!
Speaking of Jasper we had a great time with your first visit to the mountains. And the weather was fantastic!! Sunshine shining. Little walks around the hotel. Eating fudge, making smores (more your dad and mom and grandparents...you had cantaloupe and watermelon).
And you even did another milestone...you got on all fours! And since then you have learned to motor around the floor without crawling. Rolling front to back and catapulting yourself forward. Sometimes doing a few face plants in between (hence your nose and forehead is looking a little rosy). Poor thing.
If we really want you to do some moving we just have to put the phone in front of you. And you manage to move right towards it. Not to mention your biggest cheerleaders, Grammie and Grampie encouraging you along via FaceTime. And let's face it you love FaceTime, or you love my phone. Either or.
We continue with moms group and are having lots of fun. And we have joined another new fantastical group. A music class with Granny on Saturdays. It's full of songs and dance. And you seem to love it. The bouncing and singing.
Like I said we are having lots of fun. I love you my little munchkin. And summer is coming so the fun in the sun is just beginning.
Love
