First off, doesn't she look cute in this onsie? Betty Poop. Thanks Auntie H.
So, side sleeping is going to be saved for naps and if she happens to roll herself there. She doesn't mind the position at all (so it appeared), but she has been waking up earlier and then night before last she woke up at 3am where I popped a soother in her mouth and she was happy until 5am when I fed her and put her back down until 9am. This is so unlike her and I noticed that she was also stirring a ton more since the position change. So I did a test as I wanted to make sure she wasn't getting up because of hunger pains...last night she was back on her back with her head turned to one side and she slept from 9:30pm - 8:15am...not a peep. She woke up gabbing not crying so back to the back it is!! She is napping right now on her side so it is good for short bursts I guess.
Feeding her has become somewhat of a challenge for some reason. She pulls off at about the half way mark (say 3 oz.) and gets burped and then she will not want to re-latch for some reason. This is bringing back terrible memories of my nursing days...same thing happened then. Suck...Suck...Suck....pull off and freak. :-( I gave her tempra for her last bottle and she took it much better than the ones throughout the day...could it be teeth??? Today she is doing better but the last bottle I had to give her a longer break (about 15 min) and then she drank the last half of the bottle no problem. Weird. She is on a faster flowing nipple as I thought that she was getting frustrated with how slow the other one was. Who knows.
I guess she is in a playing strange phase right now with people...booooooo. My friend took one of my pups to the Vet for me and when he dropped him off he came in to see Kailey and she smiled at first then when he got closer out came the lip. He picked her up and she was OK at first then started to cry. Yikes!!! When Jack was barely home for one week due to work she played strange with him a little bit too...I guess this is a stage most infants go through although not until later apparently.
She can sit on her own for 3-5 seconds now. The harder the surface the better, the bed is still too soft but she has a blast tipping over. Her crib is more firm so we practice there.
She is starting to roll from her tummy to her back...looks hilarious and she huffs and puffs and even grunts but the first time she did it she was totally impressed with herself. :-) This may have been a fluke the first 2 times as she hasn't wanted to today at all.
Her hair is growing enough that she wakes up with bed head!!
