She's at the very start of grabbing at things. She's put her hand up on her bottle a couple of times, but hasn't really grabbed it. She'll bat at toys when she's laying on her play gym. She's getting better at inserting various parts of her hand into her mouth.
She's much better at tracking things with her eyes. She will turn her head to follow something that she's interested in looking at (like a person's face).
Last night, we slept almost 6 hours in a row! The morning wasn't as much of a success though. Sterling woke up at about 5:30 to nurse. At that point, I noticed that the dog was making very suspicious gurgling noises. I pretended I didn't hear him, but he started whining to go out at 6. When I got back inside, the baby was awake, so I got her up, changed her diaper, and moved her into her swing so I could make her up a bottle. She promptly fell asleep, so there's a bottle warming and no baby to drink it right now.
I wish it was safe to put babies to sleep on their tummies. I put her down that way while I brushed my teeth the other night and she looked so much happier than splayed out on her back.
As soon as Clara was able to roll over, she has been sleeping on her stomach. Even if I put her on her back, in less than a second, she has flipped over. She definitely sleeps better that way!
ReplyDeleteWren often flips himself onto his stomach even while sleeping in the crook of my arm. It's maddening. Sometimes I flip him back over 6 or 7 times in a night. I keep telling him, hey guy, it's called "back to sleep" and he's like *drool* *drool* *silent stare* *FLIP* *snore*. Babies, man.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time, first teeth come in on the bottom and don't interfere with nursing-- their tongues sort of cover them up while they suck. It's not quite as scary as it sounds though you're still, you know, putting your nipple in the mouth of someone that has teeth and no notion of politeness.
