Dixie is now 3.5 months old!! wowzers... how time flies!! Here's what the little cutie has been up to:
1- she is smiling on demand and her eyes twinkle with love...
2- shes become BFF with her little hands. its really so cute- they are constantly on her face or ears, and i have to leave them outside of her nighttime swaddle, otherwise she will fight and fight until they are out
3- she will no longer take a bottle, even though i gave her one everyday since she was 10 days old religiously. Its like as soon as she turned 3 months old she all of a sudden "decides" what she likes and dislikes. This no bottle thing is super annoying, and im hoping it will turn around soon- i need some freedom people!
4-she LOVES to be outside- she goes completely stir crazy in our apartment, so i literally take her on 3 walks a day- she loves them, and prefers the baby bjorn over the stroller as she has full view of the world
5- she looks around constantly, like 180 neck rotations a day no joke!
6- She hoots and hollers all day long. Her sounds are getting more varied, and there is definate meaning to them eg- the happy coos are much different than the annoyed pick me up sounds. She whines when shes not getting enough attention..... and gets progressively lounder and more intense the longer i *try* to ignore them.
7- shes sleeping in a crib that is not in our bedroom- we did sleep training as soon as she turned 3 months, and shes been sleeping 7-9 hour stretches each night ever since! sooooooo wonderful!!! I put her down at 8pm each nite after a dreamfeed and a bath, and most of the time she is still wide awake, but she barely cries and in 20 mintutes shes out ! Love her!! so glad the 2 hour feedings are over!
8- she holds her head up 90 degrees during tummy time... although she tires out after only a few minutes, and is no where close to rolling over yet
9- She bears her weight on her legs for a few minutes at a time.
10- She loves to "talk"- we make eye contact with her and we can carry on a 2 way "conversation" with her for a couple of minutes!
And in other news we applied for her passport today for our july trip to the homeland!!!! Oh how i miss my true north strong free!! Remind me to tell you my "Mae" story next.... how a silly teenage decision is still haunting me today!!
ok , i must stop writing now as The "t" on my laptop is stuck so i have to pound it and im giving myself carpal tunnel!!!
We Love DIXIE Mae!!!
