This week we did quite a bit of resting during the day. We had to get our energy back and settle into a routine now that we were back at home. I wish I could say we slept more at night though. Your night time sleep patterns were a bit sporadic this week…from sleeping five hours at a time to one hour at a time. I think you were going through a growth spurt. However, it is also said that as babies reach new milestones they tend to wake more during the night for a few nights. This might have been the case because we found you rolled over in your crib again this week and you were getting very close to rolling during your activity times during the day.
I also noticed that you had not only discovered your hands, but that
you could manipulate them as well. You were batting at things, grabbing my hair and my shirt. It was rather exciting. So, you had more tummy time this week than in previous weeks. You seemed to like it; especially when your dad and I put blocks in front of you to reach out and touch. You seemed to change and grow a little more every day.
This week you really noticed the dogs for the first time. In the beginning, they stayed away from you. I don’t think they knew what to think of you…you see, they hadn’t been around a baby before. They had been coming up and sniffing you for a month or so, but this week you noticed them. You would look up when you heard them go through the dog door. You would follow them with your eyes as they walked through the room. You even reached out at them. Molly was most interested in you.
