Rosie has gotten her nights and days figured out for the most part now. She has started going to bed earlier than midnight (what a relief!) and will wake up to eat every 3 hours or so, but sometimes will still go for a 4-5 hour stretch. She is quite the noisy little sleeper though, so she might be making a trip to her own crib sooner than Isaac did at 4 months.
She's starting to figure out her own sleep schedule during the day, often takes cat naps but will generally have 'sleepy time' in the morning, a big long one in the afternoon, and then one in the evening before going to bed between 8:30 and 9:30.
I don't remember all the tricks and techniques of helping her with a routine that I used with Isaac...so it's trial and error once again! Plus she is definitely her own person and not too much like Isaac was when he was a babe.
Rosie is awake more and more now for longer stretches and loves watching us about our day. She always keeps a close eye on Isaac, whether because she finds him interesting to watch or she still has memories of the early days of her life and is taking precautions...:)
The two of them are getting along better and better now though and I am excited to see them growing up together and learning to get along and play. Boy, does Isaac need a playmate!
Rosie loves singing and watching hands moving and has recently discovered her own which she loves to suck on. She is a chatty little thing and quite vocal, though saves crying for darn good reasons, and even when she is crying it sometimes sounds like she's talking:) and of course she is smiling, but it's tricky to get her to!
She's a delightful gal and we are quite smitten with her:) She is now discharged from the midwives and at that last appointment was 11 lb.8oz and I can't remember the measurement right now, but doing great! Long like her brother! I've added a few pictures that I just took in the last week or so below.

Ah! It's like looking at photos of what you and Eric would have been like if you'd been little buddies as small tots! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want another one. And we'll name her Buttercup. haha
