Rosie has now rolled over from tummy to back - but not the other way - and she loves to sit up in the tripod position too! She is also laughing full long laughs now - instead of the single chuckles she was doing before.
She is just now really figuring out her hands - she stares at them and grabs one hand with the other and wildly swings her arms and tries to put her fingers in her mouth and ends up hitting herself in the face several times before she gets it… It is so cute to see her learning new skills - she hasn’t really mastered grabbing toys yet - but I can tell she wants to! I think that this is where a lot of her fussiness is coming from now - along with the teething I think she gets frustrated when she cant get her hands and arms to work the way she wants them to!
She is very interested in everything - which leads to distractions during bf - she sometimes pulls my nipple with her when she tries to look - ouch!
We are taking Rosie to see the Dr. tomorrow - Joe has to go anyway cuz he has this weird rash on his neck (sorry - TMI) - so we figured might as well get our girl weighed and just make sure she is doing ok - Joe thinks something might be wrong because she has been really fussy - but I think it’s just normal fussiness and I don’t want to be one of those moms who runs to the Dr. everytime the baby sneezes! Plus - I know we will have to have another vax discussion (I was trying to avoid and ignore the issue) and I still don’t feel comfortable giving her any shots - at least not till 6 months! Dr. is cool with delaying - but Joe thinks we should get the DTaP now….I hope I can talk him into postponing longer…
oh - does it bother anyone else when people refer to nursing as “feeding” - as in “is the baby feeding?” - I always say “she is not feeding - she is nursing” or “she is eating”- feeding just makes it sound like dd is an animal at the zoo - “feeding time” - sorry - just a pet peeve of mine…
