Every day she is learning new things. She is rolling from her tummy to her back, she loves to stand up with help, she is pretty close to sitting up by herself. Lainey loves to sing songs and look in the mirror, she is eating three meals of baby food a day and nursing about 5-6 other times, she has started drinking a little apple juice mixed with water, and she is napping much better. She takes about four 30 minute to an hour naps a day. We were sleeping from about 10-around 5:30 am, but this week she has started waking up again. Her poor gums are killing her so I usually give her a little orajel, feed her and put her back to sleep. She does not go back to sleep unless I feed her. We have tried introducing a sippy cup since we started apple juice, but she kind of makes a mess, so we are sticking to the bottle for now. I didn't really want to start juice this soon, but poor baby was having trouble going to the bathroom so we had to do something to help her potty.
Lainey weighs a little over 15 lbs. and is still wearing a size two diaper and 3-6 month clothes. I've already boxed up an entire bin of her clothes she has outgrown so I hope she can wear her 3-6 month stuff a little longer.
Right now she has started noticing when I leave her and immediately starts crying. It's heartbreaking, but I do want her getting used to being around others and learn to entertain herself so I have to let her cry a little. She still does not love the car, but she loves going new places so it's usually worth the trip. She loves being around other kids and is laughing and talking so much more. Her talk is more what I would consider a yell, but if you know her daddy, her loud voice makes sense.
Lainey is so much fun and although I've never been able to say she's an easy baby, she is such a joy!! We have our hands full, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't wait to see what she starts doing in this next month.
