Mommy got home from work, you were hungry, but mommy wanted to kiss you, so you decided to suck on her chin. She must have let you do it for awhile so Vovo could take pictures.
Later, I asked mommy what happened to her chin and she realized it was a hicky from you sucking on her chin.
That will teach her to not feed you!
Seems that when we went to Michigan, you started falling a sleep with 1 eye open. Maybe you were doing it sooner and I just noticed it for the first time.
Even now that we’ve been back in Washington for a bit, I still notice you falling a sleep with your left eye (usually) slightly open.
Cracks me up.
While driving to the henry ford, we passed under a lot of tunnels. Each tunnel we passed under, you would open yours eyes really big; until you finally fell asleep.
Last night you slept from 11 PM to 5:30 AM, wow! We were shocked! I woke up at 5:30 AM because you were making some noises, and your daddy checked what time it was. To our surprise, you slept 6h30 hours straight! And just two days ago (on your 4th month birthday) you slept from 10 PM to 4 AM. Hopefully this is a new trend 😉
V1: when you came home from the hospital, it was pretty simple: walk around the room.
(I later realized I always walk clockwise.)
V2: walking and rocking
V3: I noticed while walking around the room, you would get pissed after passing by the lamp, so I decided to start in front of the lamp and slowly walk away from it.
V4: you nicely allowed me to rock you to sleep while sitting, saving my back a lot of pain.
Day 3 and still no poop.
Oh irony. As soon as I saved this post (wasn’t finished, so I didn’t publish it), you pooped. YEA!
During the night you scratched yourself badly on the nose. You woke up in the middle of the night screaming, we ran to your bedroom and when we saw your face we understood the reason to such strong crying: a big bloody scratch on your nose. Your nails are not even very long yet, but I guess one of them was sharp enough to do the damage. Then I tried to cut the guilty nail in the morning and I’m still not sure about how it happened, but I cut a bit of skin close to the nail instead. You didn’t even cry or flinch, but the cut was bleeding non stop for a while. Your clothes got blood all over, your toys, you looked like you went to war with the blood in your hand and clothes and the big bloody scratch on your nose. 🙁
Your dad was working until very late so I decided to give you a bath by myself. I planned the whole thing for a while thinking about every step and how I would do it alone. Everything was going really well and I was starting to rinse you when you turned your head too far back and a little bit of water went up your nose. You immediately became frantic, I got you into a choking position so any water could come out and you coughed for a little bit until calming down. You were really red from screaming and I wanted to finish the bath right then, but you still had soap in your lower body. I then held you sitting down in your baby tub so the water wouldn’t go anywhere near your head but the minute I poured some water on your body you went nuts and threw your body backwards, hitting the side of the baby tub with your head. Needless to say you started screaming and crying again, I picked you up and ended the bath right then. You stopped crying in my arms and I wrapped you in your towel, you were fine by the time you were dry, but I was shaken for the rest of the night.
You don’t usually like taking a nap in the afternoon. Yesterday after you cried for a little bit that you were tired (lots of yawnings and rubbing the eyes), I swaddled you and put you on the swing – and you slept for 2 hours! Today I did the same thing and you have been sleeping for 2h20min and counting.
Everything to keep you from crying in the car! Today was the first time that we were alone in the car – mommy driving and you by yourself on the back seat, strapped down in your carseat, which is not your favorite thing even when the grandparents were around. So when we left the house and you were wide awake, I thought we would be in trouble. You started complaining, I turned on the CD player and started the Coldplay CD that I used to listen to when I was pregnant. That didn’t seem to be enough so I started singing along, and you calmed down. You just listened to mommy’s and Coldplay singing the whole drive to Bellevue, just complaining during the quiet time between the songs. On the way back, Coldplay wasn’t working so I found some good radio static noise and you fell asleep after a few minutes.
