Oliver went for his final checkup today (FINALLY) At nearly 9 weeks he is a little overdue! I felt a bit funny carrying in my giant baby to the midwives, heehee, but of course he is very interactive and adorable at this age so as my m/w said, "We should delay more final visits! They're just so cute at this age."
True.So Oliver weighed in at a gorgeous 14.5 lbs, healthy as a bumblebee in spring. He's just over 2 months old.
He's such a sweet and content little boy, so very smiley now and Eric got his first laugh out of him today! Which I got to witness and just melted:) He is 'sleeping through the night', bed around 8 then waking up to eat between 12 and 3, then sleeps till 6:30 or sometime after, depending on the night. I'm not banking on this being a consistent routine (although I could be very fine with that!:) but it's working for us for sure right now!
He's getting very strong and wiggly, loves to be naked of course, now is quite fond of baths. He loves being held alllll the time still, by far my most snuggly baby! I'm wondering if he might get some early teeth as he's drooling like an Isaac at a buffet table and chewing on his little hands all the time! My other two were early teethers as well so it's very possible, but probably at least a couple months away.
Rosalie will hit the milestone of 18 months tomorrow! Honestly, Eric and I just can't believe how big she has gotten. She is such a sweetheart, lately has become quite the chatter box, she has a few sentences now and loves babbling away whether or not we can understand. Her personality and charm are just irresistable.
One of her new-found favourite things to do is colour!! I tried to get Isaac into colouring but he never had any interest, still doesn't really, but will do it once in awhile. Rosie however, once I introduced her to the concept, hasn't stopped colouring, she has a little chalkboard and loves to just scribble away ever so carefully on it, her favourite currently is to walk around with a big crossword book and a pen and every once in awhile stop and start drawing in it then walk off again then stop and repeat. It's so cute.
She also loves her naptime which is always funny to observe, if we miss it or it's late she covers her eyes with her hands and starts crying and walks to her room where her bunny is to initiate quiet time.
She has started up a bit of an attitude now, (hellooooo year 2! We're ready for you. ...?) And that is strange to see from her. but also sometimes amusing as she doesn't let Isaac walk all over her anymore but starts sassing him right back.
The two of the ultimately are getting along very well and enjoy each others company
She has her 18 month doctors appointment next week which I'm sure she'll ace!
Isaac will be 3 in a couple months...and I'll have an update on him then! He gets his own entry!:)
Grow, little ones, grow!
You've described your darling's perfectly <3 <3 <3
