As the months pass by, I am realizing we have less and less to report. It sure is a bummer that baby girl was born into this global pandemic. We don’t get out of the house much, and I am longing for some play dates, or fun outings, but alas, we will wait until the safer days ahead.
In the meantime, our days continue to be filled with playtime amongst our different playmats, exploring new toys, and investigating the different rooms of the house. Somehow I still manage to take plenty of cute pictures of our sweet little girl.
This month, we whipped out a hand-me-down from my brother and sister-in-law, which she is loving being in more of a standing position for short bits!
I also ordered some ball pit balls, but she wasn’t so sure about those. 😂
This month she has become a little bit more consistent with rolling from her tummy to her back, though she still will only do it when she wants to, and not often for a video. She also seems to forget that she knows how and will still fuss once she is over playing on her tummy.
Giggles are becoming a little bit more frequent as well, and oh so cute! Again, these are so hard to capture! But she is loving finding this little (or big) voice of hers! From squeals to screeches, and everything in between, she always has something to say… just like her daddy.
Speaking of Daddy, she still loves playtime with him, from high to low, and especially flying around the house like an airplane, chasing the doggies.
She is still her snuggly little self, and loves coming into bed in the morning while mommy finishes waking up.
Since we keep her in footy pajamas most of the time, lounging around the house, we’ve been trying to let her hangout in her diaper a little bit more to feel different textures on her body, and so she can find her cute little toes.
She absolutely loves bath time (thank goodness) and smiles and kicks her feet about in the water. She loves to play with the wash cloths, and hold the water cup now.
She also loves chewing on fingers, at least that’s one surefire way to cheer her up and we are never without them!
As she grows, she is getting wigglier and wigglier. Diaper changes are becoming increasingly more difficult as she rolls side to side, lifts her bum, and kicks her feet about. I can only imagine what is ahead once she is more mobile.
Our sweet, sassy girl is full of personality, and I can’t wait to continue watching her grow.
She also loves her little teether toys and isn’t often caught with out one, awake or asleep.
I guess we did get to go on one adventure this month… a nice scenic drive! We were hoping to go on a little walk, but it ended up being quite windy. At least we got a few photos to show for it. And some fresh mountain air!
Sleep is still questionable and this mama is tired! Some nights are decent, while others are such a struggle. She is also still very much into short naps, so breaks are few and far between for me and I rush to get my teeth brushed or hair tamed before she is back awake. I know how important daytime sleep is, so after one or two naps a day, I will rock her back to sleep and snuggle her. After all, these days won’t last forever, and I am trying to soak in all of these lovely snuggles.
While we are longing for more fun adventures, I try to remind myself that she knows no different than the safety and comfort of our home, and is a happy little babe spending time with her mommy and daddy. We love you so much, Vivian!
