Ava has made a lot of changes this past month! One of them being that she started sleeping in the crib at 11 weeks. I'm not big on co-sleeping but I'm a huge fan of doing what you need to do to survive. A combination of colic till 12am and needing to be held all the time had Ava in our bed or in our arms at night. This was creating a situation where we all were longing for a good nights sleep; so I made a point of transitioning her to her crib (happy dance and a better few hours of sleep here and there for me). Her sleeping pattern has improved as well, she is asleep by 10pm with one middle of the night wake up and then an early morning one (I'll take it, another happy dance for Ava).
Ava's big personality is beginning to shine through. With more hours awake we are discovering her likes and dislikes as she discovers the world around her. I'm fairly certain Miss Ava is going to be a social butterfly. She and Aunt Mia have full blown conversations when they get together.
Likes:
- when you smile and talk to her
- mimicking actions & sounds (sticking her tongue out & cooing when talked to)
- being held
- looking at herself in the minor
- watching TV
- watching TV
Dislikes:
- dirty diapers
- being left alone to play
- laying flat on her back for too long
-being away from the action
Not only has Ava become more chatty this month she has also rolled from her tummy to her back. She prefers being held and when we do put her down she wants all of our attention. Ava is a little peanut (especially compared to Mason at 3 months); she is fitting comfortably in her 3 month clothes still. Luckily her reflux has improved and/or the medicine is working wonderfully and our regular weekly trips to the doctor have stopped. We now are on schedule for the regular infant checks from here on out. We haven't started baby food or cereal with her yet but I am hoping to get the ok from the doctor to begin those next month.
With warmer weather approaching (another happy dance) Ava will be experiencing many firsts. I can't wait to take her on her first walk and get Mason out of the house (we all seem to be suffering from cabin fever).
