Watch Me Grow

WOW! I probably write this every month, but I really can't believe how fast you are growing and changing! This month you are starting to fall into a better nap schedule. It seems that you take three naps a day now. However, it does depend on how you have slept the night before. You are now sleeping on your back in your crib and have been for the past month. You love to sleep in your swing in Mommy and Daddy's room in the morning and sometimes sleep in until 10:00 or 11:00am. Your brother would NEVER do that. :) You have started to wake up at night again which has been a little hard because some nights you are waking up three times and every now and then do not want to fall back to sleep. You have noticed yourself in the mirror and smile and giggle whenever you see yourself. You are an extremely smiley baby and seem to smile at everyone you meet. You have really taken a liking to Mommy though and usually only want to be held by me. You really enjoy your playmat and Bumbo. We have tried the Jumparoo, but you haven't gotten the whole jumping thing yet. You extremely dislike your car seat and pretty much cry as soon as you are strapped in until you are taken out. Hopefully it grows on you...soon! You are still a little peanut. At your appointment the other day you weighed 11 lbs 14 oz. The doctors are not concerned and think that you will probably just be petite your whole life, but we have started to supplement with some formula to see if you are hungry and will pick up a little more weight. We just started, so I will write more about that next month. On June 1st we also started to give you rice cereal too. You have not yet gotten the hang of eating off of a spoon, but that is probably our fault because we have not been very consistent with giving it to you yet. We love you so much, Sweety Pea, and are so glad that God has given us the privilege of raising you!!
