Week 22

We hit developmental warp speed this week - yells, screeches, yelps, shrieks and screams, better sleeping (bedtime and naps), longer stints in my playtime bouncer and more tummy time, which I don't hate anymore!

Look how long my legs are!

I love petting Jackson's fur

I went to dim sum with Uncle Derek

Ew

And I even gave mom a tiny giggle!!!  She didn't catch it on video because it was so unexpected (and I can't make it too easy on her), but here are a couple of other videos from this week :)

Mom keeps saying my eyes are still splotchy blue/brown, like hazel.  I thought they would have changed all the way by now, but who knows!

Week 21

Big stuff happened this week.  Dad and mom decided to "sleep train" me.  I think it's just a fancy way of saying they let me cry it out.  It was really tough because they also took my pacifier away.  But I caught onto bedtime within two nights.  No more waking up at 4 am for no reason!  Naps were harderer, though, but I toughed through it and things got better within a week.

This is my new Sophie Giraffe

Then mom took me to the toy store and we got THIS:

I love it so much, but because my neck muscles weren't super strong yet, I could only stay in it for 10-minute stretches or so.  Mom also got me this tasty crinkle book:

DD came to visit :)

And to top off an already crazy week, I discovered these weird noises that come out of my mouth!  I surprised mom a bunch of times with how loud I can be!

The doc also told us I was 14 lbs., 8 oz. and 26 inches long.  I was a bruiser.

Week 20

Mom got me a new carrier this week and I love it!  I couldn't face outward in my old one and it made me really crabby.  Dad and mom also took me to Stinson Beach with a bunch of friends over the long weekend.  It was fun, but I had a lot of trouble napping.

I also started sleeping in a new "fat suit" instead of a swaddle.  Mom and dad were sick of me breaking out of those stupid things, so the new fat suit keeps my arms and legs spread out while I sleep.  I like it a lot better than the swaddle :)

One of my bad naps in Stinson

Woohoo, we're back home!!

Week 19

Bath time was still super awesome (as was peeing in the water) and mom and dad kept propping me up to sit like an adult.  Sometimes I would plunk over onto my side because I couldn't hold myself up yet.  I went to Ann & Jack's wedding this week and it was a blast!  I got to stay up way past my bedtime ;)

I got to wear my cute dress

I love to snuggle with laughy giraffey

Week 18

The doc told mom I weighed 13 lbs., 10 oz. and was 25.5 inches long this week!  I'm a pretty good eater and my skinny legs started to get super long and kind of chubby, so I wasn't surprised.  But for some reason this week I couldn't sleep very well.  I was waking up more and more often and I needed mom to put my pacifier back in to help me get back to sleep.  The whole family was up in the wee hours of the morning for several nights and my naps were rubbish.

I also learned how to smack my lips this week!  What fun!
