Your personality is really starting to shine these last couple of months! Unless you are really hungry or tired, you seem pretty happy just going along for the ride. You love to laugh at Nadia’s antics!
Even as a young baby it took a LOT of soothing to get Nadia to sleep. We would sing song after song, rock her, nurse to sleep, and unless she was absolutely, totally asleep we couldn’t transfer her to lay down in the crib. But, Trixie– that’s not you! You seem to like being bounced on the exercise ball, maybe listen to a song, and perhaps a quick round of nursing and then you’re out like a light! Some nights I’ll hold you while singing a few lullabies and you will make sounds of discomfort and I’ll think “Okay, she’s just not tired enough yet, I’ll keep singing,” only to realize you simply wanted to be set down in your crib so you can sleep.
The other night Daniel said, “Well how would you feel if you were ready to bed and someone kept playing music, bouncing you around, and pushing drinks in your face? You would probably be annoyed too!”
You’re getting close to being able to sit up on your own and it probably won’t be much longer until you’re crawling. I’m hoping to start signing a few things like “toilet” during diaper changes, “milk” before feedings, “more” and “all done.” I was recently reminded some babies sign as early as six months and I think it would be exciting to give you a voice!
You started daycare and met your first friend, Callie! Going to daycare was not big deal– you have a big smile when we see Ms. Brenda in the morning and seem happy when it’s time to go home too.
This month had several “firsts.” You got baptised at church with your Godmother Great-Aunt Maria and Uncle Brett; we had such a nice time celebrating you with family! We took you on your first cabin weekend at Smith Mountain Lake– that trip was the first time you ever grabbed one of my fries (which I stole back since we haven’t started solids yet). And our first tent camping trip at Bear Creek State Park– you did so awesome that whole trip.
We love you so much!
