Hi bug,
You have magically morphed into a completely different baby this week.
It happened almost overnight. You were mad. Screaming. Cranky. Hurting.
And then you were happy. Awake. Alert. Smiling.
Something good came from my trip {although I hated every minute of being away from you}. You drank bottles of breast milk and my supply regulated, meaning you started getting those good fats you need to fill your belly and help your brain development.
And developing you are! You went from hating tummy time to dabbling in rolling over. Yup. Rolling.
You don’t really like looking at things or grabbing or swatting, but you suddenly started pushing yourself up on your arms. Then one day you decided you were just going to roll on over. You only do it on soft surfaces like our ottoman or a soft, squishy blanket, but it still counts. We better watch out!
I love, love, love listening to your little voice. Your coos and squeaks are the best sound in the world. So much better than that awful crying you loved to do a couple weeks ago.
Our days are much happier now- you’re even napping more. You still refuse to nap anywhere but my arms. It’s frustrating to not be able to get anything done, but I’m soaking up every minute of our cuddly naps. Who knows, tomorrow you may refuse to sleep in my arms at all.
All this happiness and alertness must be wearing you out, as we seem to be making backwards progress at night. You’re barely sleeping 2 hours at a time; sometimes only 1. Needless to say your mom’s a little tired. But things change so fast these days, who knows what’ll happen next week.
I’m just glad you’re starting to feel better and can finally enjoy being an adorable little baby.
