I guess I should update on what Amelia’s doing these days. It seems that she’s learning something new every day.
Last Thursday (3/20) she honed in on her ability grasp objects and grabbed her crinkle frog and put him directly in her mouth. Since then everything goes in the mouth for a taste test.
She’s really enjoying her bouncer and play mat these days. She’s spazzes out when she’s playing with either, arms and legs flailing about. She’s trying her hardest to attack the swinging monkey on her bouncer but he’s still too far out of her reach and alluding her death grip.
Speaking of things in Amelia’s hands, I chopped off my hair yesterday. I wasn’t going for a super short cut, but the texturizing tool and the hairstylist did my hair in. It’s shorter than it’s been in 10 years. EEK! It’s growing on me, but it barely touches my shoulders and that’s really short for me.
Amelia is smiling and cooing non stop and we love it!!! It’s as though she’s talking to us and to her toys, telling us stories.
She’s sleeping well, 12+ hours at night and only gets up once for about 20 minutes (she’s still a crappy napper though). This excludes the last few days she’s been getting up twice, but it’s due to her big 3 month growth spurt…I am praying that she gets back on track and SOON!
The biggest milestone is that she now LAUGHS!!! Yes, she laughed for the first time yesterday (3/24). Thankfully she decided to do it just after Dustin got home from work. In fact I think she did it because she was so excited to see her Daddy. When Dustin comes home from work lately she spazzes out; kicking her legs and throwing her arms around. She obviously adores her Daddy…or perhaps she’s sick of mommy and he’s her escape.
This is clearly the honeymoon phase of parenthood thus far; healthy happy baby & more sleep = happy family.
