Emma's Highlights:
* Size 1 diapers and 0 - 3 month clothes
* Size 3 month sleepers are becoming too short and Emma has no room to stretch; we are going to try the 6 month sleepers.
* Improving at daytime naps; she likes a good nap around lunchtime and will sleep a few 30 minute naps throughout the day.
* Has started to love the activity mat and will stare at and bat at the toys.
* Enjoys the musical rattler too.
* Still cooing and smiling a lot; Emma will occasionally break in with a loud coo...her vocals are working!
* Likes tummy-time on her diaper changing station; I think it's because she's higher up and has a better view of everything.
* Took Emma to the dentist for my semi-annual cleaning. The front desk staff offered to watch her; she was awake, looking around, when I went to the back. 20 minutes later, I found Emma in the receptionist's arms, fast asleep. She did great!
* Breastfeeding update: I went to the lactation consultant due to pain while feeding Emma and was diagnosed with a cracked nipple (ouch!) and thrush. I have taken an antibiotic to fight the yeast infection and am feeding Emma in different positions to heal the crack. I can't save my pumped milk during this time so hopefully this infection will heal quickly!! I am continuing to breastfeed through all of this.
* Had dinner at the Smith's this weekend; Mary Kate is 2 months older than Emma. There seems to be a big difference in age at this point, probably because they are growing/learning so quickly! Emma and Mary Kate didn't have much to do with each other.
Just read this, and I just took Cora to the dentist with me this past week! I had the last appointment slot of the day and brought a bottle just in case..which we needed. Another tech held her and fed her while I got worked on.
ReplyDeleteI hope your thrush has worked itself out by now and that your crack has healed. That sounds pretty miserable.
