Friday night through Monday night were awesome! We ended up getting about 6-7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. We could never figure out a pattern to why some nights she’d be up and some nights she’d sleep like an angel but we’re not complaining. We hope this continues! Tuesday was a not so good night but we’ll take one bad night for a bunch of good ones. She’s so funny though…we keep a camera on her to see what’s she’s doing at night when she’s supposed to be sleeping. We always put her down drowsy so she’ll make herself fall asleep and most of the time she’ll stare at the camera for awhile (before her eyes get heavy and she eventually falls asleep). Of course she doesn’t know we’re watching but it sure seems like it, and Dan and I are constantly laughing because she’ll just start smiling at the camera. It makes us want to go pick her up and kiss her but of course that would defeat the purpose of putting her to bed!
So we bought a webcam the other day and set up Skype this week so we hope to be using it more and more often with family so they can see Ashlan grow. Her next appointment (two months!!) is Friday the 28th (where she gets shots, oh boy!) and we are so excited to see how much she’s grown, though not excited at all for the shots! That’s gonna be a bad day, and probably night!
On Wednesday, the 19th, we got her 6 week pictures done and she was an angel the whole time. She didn’t smile as much as she does at home for pictures though (probably because we couldn’t get too close to her) so that was a bummer but we did get some cute ones. Of course, that meant she missed her nap so she was a little cranky afterwards but still slept 8 hours straight that night. But anyway, she is so strong too! She didn’t put her head down once when she was getting her pictures taken on her stomach. She also tries to stand now when I’m burping her (because of the position I put her in) and I attached a picture below. She actually does stand for a few seconds with all her weight on her feet, though she does lean against me or the boppy pillow. And she can sit straight up by herself too, though she wobbles a little sometimes. She’ll also “stand” on us when we hold her up, meaning she puts all her weight on her feet instead of pulling them up. I just can’t believe how fast time is flying!
So this bottle problem is not getting any better. We have already bought 5 different types of bottles and so far she doesn’t like any one over the other. We’re not sure how to resolve this but to keep trying with the hope that she accepts it one time.
Sleeping on daddy.
She loves looking at herself in the mirror for tummy time.
Double chin!!!
Can see her dimple in this one!
She was staring at the moving mobile. She LOVES her swing!
This is her trying to stand! I am holding her waist but she's pretty much on her own. Of course, you can't see her feet but they are on the couch!
Daddy was feeding her the bottle (the first ounce or so when she was calm!) and I couldn't resist snapping a picture with her bow on.
Caesar always has to be with whomever is holding her.
