Now it's time for the rest of our lives.
She got a bath for the occasion. The baths are getting less traumatic for both of us..
Natasha has been pondering this bonus time we've had too.
She's been hitting some developmental milestones for term babies her age: she can hold her head up a bit while being held upright.. a little wobbly still but definitely less floppy than before. She unclenches her fists and straightens her legs. And she's getting more vocal.. trying out all the sounds she can make at 5am is her favorite ;)
She still eats more erratically and frequently than most full-term babies would at this age, but eating and growing is her only job and she's doing it very well.
I've been meaning to put up a picture of the awesome swirl of hair on the back of Natasha's head. (what does this direction tell us Tania?) Her hair is getting longer, so soon you probably won't be able to see it for much longer.
And this picture is from 2 weeks ago, I forgot to include it in a post but I love it! Look at how much smaller she looks in just that short time. I can't wait to see how she looks in another 2 weeks!
Love the swirl. Ben had/has a great swirl too -- maybe it is a cousin-thing! You can actually still see Ben's since he has that short boy haircut, although it isn't as perfect as it was when he was little.
ReplyDeleteNatasha is starting to get some great cheeks too! Don't worry about feeding on her schedule-- Natasha-schedule is the best schedule there is! And "they" say that kids that are fed as infants on their schedule are better able to push food away when they are full as adults. Don't know if "they" are correct, but Ben certainly eats well so far. Thanks for the updates, Aunt Carolyn
