Other things we've figured out this week:
- Maude is not a big fan of the swing. She doesn't hate it, but it is certainly not the go-to bucket to put our baby in. She's satisfied in that thing for maybe a full minute. Luckily, we borrowed our swing from friends who visited this weekend and were able to take it off our hands. We're happy to have our living room back.
- Maude is able to projectile many things from her little body. Use your imagination.
- Mike is better at swaddling Maude than I am.
- Maude can shove her entire fist in her mouth.
- Maude likes to shove her entire fist in her mouth so we're now doing the one arm swaddle so she has access to that fist in her sleep.
Today has been a rough day. Maude got her first round of vaccinations. The poor gal hated them which was to be expected. She's been Ms. Fussy Pants tonight as well. She's been sleeping then will suddenly start crying and fussing. I feel terrible for her. Most of the other moms I've talked to said their babies slept a lot the day of the shots and then were cranky for a few days afterward. Maybe since Maude is cranky on the day of, it will be over by the morning.
We also got Maude's updated stats while at the doctor. She's now 9lbs 7.5oz and is 21.5 inches tall. Her doctor was impressed with her neck control. Our devotion to tummy time has paid off. Maude and I even took a tummy time class at our favorite place, the Pump Station. We go there at least once a week for various classes or support groups with other new moms and babies. It's become our second home.
Below are a few videos and photos from the past week:
