Toni's in her 6th week this week and I totally forgot that babies tend to get their second growth spurt in their 6th week! Totally explains a lot. Why she's been feeding more often and sleeping a lot... not that she doesn't sleep a lot already. PLUS.. I can tell she's growing. She's definitely gotten taller! She can actually wear some of her 0-3 month clothes now where as before she was still in newborn size and 0-3 was too big. Her 0-3 is still a bit big, but not like before. And she fits the length way better than the width although she has filled out some. She's a baby! Awww, my baby looks like a baby and not a newborn anymore!
OK, the other milestone (well not really a milestone, but to me it is) deals with her playmat. She has the playmat/playgym and it has this feature where it can play music or make sounds either continuosly or when something is tugged or moved. Well she's not at the point where she is intentionally grabbing things and tugging them yet, but she kicks pretty hard and every time she did she activated the music! I'm so proud! haha! I know, it's so small but it's huge to me! Me and Junior we're so excited you'd think she just won us a million dollars! awww... my lil pooper. growing before my very eyes.
She's definitely stronger in her neck that she can hold her head up for longer periods of time now, she's forming spit bubbles and she talks more. Well not talk-TALK but baby talk. And I can just tell that any minute now that laugh will come out! She has that look (like in the picture of the last blog with her natural faux hawk) where you can tell she wants to laugh but just a squeak comes out. Still a cute squeak though.
So Junior and I were talking about it and everyone that knows better than they know me thinks she looks more like him and everyone that knows me better than they know him think she looks more like me. I think she has a perfect blend (as if she's coffee) and that those that know him better are just able to see his features better in her and vice versa. People that know both of us well... we get mixed reviews from. I, personally, can see us both in her. Certain angles and/or faces I see him and then others me.
Jake kissed Toni today! That's a HUGE milestone because he has slowly, but surely warmed up to her. Everytime we've tried to get Jake to give her a little kiss, he runs away and he normally has no problem giving kisses. Today, he gave her one so we had to give him a treat. I just hope he doesn't think he should kiss her all the time now! Her reaction, she was shocked. She didn't cry, but she was shocked. I don't think she knew what to think of that and eventually just forgot about it. Well earlier today I did have her pet him. Well really I took her hand and pet him with it... AND I had to command him to stay because he kept running away at first. But when he stayed and allowed her to pet him, I gave him a treat. Actually I made it look like she gave him the treat. So maybe that's why he kissed her later on. Figured she can't be too harmful.
