No doctor appointment this month, so we did our own measurements. Not too sure how accurate they are, but at least we have a rough idea!
Height: 24.25 inches
Weight: 11 pounds 11 ounces
Clothing size: Still 0-3, but I tried a 3-6 month outfit on her this week and it wasn’t overly huge. I think we’re close to being done with 0-3 month footie pajamas though.
Favorite things: Smiling, “talking” to us, wiggling, being tickled, cuddling with mommy for a nap, getting excited to see her daddy when he gets home from work, and being naked!
Dislikes: Water on her face in the bathtub, the carseat, her vitamin.
Sleep: She goes down between 8-9 pm, and won’t wake up at all now until at least 5 am. Most days, I am waking her up at 5:45 so I can feed her before I run. She’ll stay up with daddy for a little while and then take a morning nap.
Milestones, etc.:
-She LAUGHS now and it’s the cutest thing ever.
-She tries to imitate sounds/words. She says “guh!” really well!
-She officially doesn’t need to be swaddled to sleep anymore, but we still use her SwaddleMe blanket and just leave her arms out.
– She had her first diaper rash. It was ugly but she never cried about it.
– She also got her nails clipped for the first time, and I accidentally cut her little finger. I cried; she didn’t. My kid is tough!
-She grabs anything she can and sometimes puts whatever it is in her mouth. Her shirts are really wet sometimes for this reason! Her drooling is out of control, too.
– She is sooo close to rolling over from back to front. She just needs to figure out where to put her arm!
– She does (halfway) sit-ups all on her own.
– She can do a “mini push-up” during tummy time… but she usually hates it. I figured out that tummy time is a little more productive when she has a pillow to lean on, instead of just face-planting on the floor.
Dear Kaya,
You are growing up so fast! This month, you became even more fun to play with. You love your daddy so much, and I’m grateful to see you both grow closer each and every day. He tries to imitate the noises you make, and as he does, you’ll do it again. It’s a never ending conversation! I love hearing you figure out how to make certain sounds and start to laugh.
You like reading books and grabbing at the pages. You seem to get extra excited when there’s a lot of green on a page. Is that your favorite color?
You smile all the time now, and it’s still just as exciting as the first time you did it. I don’t think it will ever get old. I love seeing you happy.
You think it’s hilarious when we wiggle your legs and squeeze your little thighs.
Now that you’re becoming more mobile and alert, you remind me a lot more of the way you acted when you were still growing in my belly. You used to somersault and kick all the time, and now you are a happy, silly little wiggleworm just the same.
So many people tell me you have such big, beautiful eyes. I’d have to agree! We’re still waiting to see what color they are- sometimes they are light blue and other times a dark gray!
We love you so much Baby Bird! We can’t wait to celebrate your first Christmas next week 🙂
