She is no longer a newborn, she's an infant! She LOVES to stand and loves airplane and those are two surefire ways to get her to chill and/or smile almost instantly. There are times she will ONLY stand...or else! She loves her crib mirror and finally likes tummy time now because she can look up at her stuffed animals. On 4/24 she rolled over, successfully, on her own!!! From the back to her front, she untucked her bottom arm, placed both on the mattress and then lifted her head with her little arms with such great confidence! She eats her hands, constantly, and grabs everything in site...all of which ends up in her mouth. The other day she actually really laughed!! A few staccato chuckles and a huge smile. She is not at all sleeping through the night. She's sleeping from about 7:30-12, 1-3 or 4 and in bed with me by 6 only to eat twice more by 8. So we just started giving her a bottle of formula at night, to "fill her tank." We'll see how that goes. She has a nasty habit of only going poop when we are out. It's nothin' nice when it only comes out every couple days, and then to deal with it in public, sheesh child! She is staring down other children, checking out other people her size. We started going to the Mommy Movie at the Grove on Mondays and Deia's first flick was "He's Just Not That Into You." Her second was "Confessions of A Shopaholic." She sleeps, eats, poops, eats and maybe catches 10 minutes of the flick. When I looked around and saw other mothers allowing their kids to watch a bit, I felt a little better about it. Hey, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do and if Deia watches a few minutes of a movie every week or so, we'll all be ok :-)
4 Months!
