Today I decided to take April in the bath tub. It quite fun. I have to say she liked it. I think that the warm water helped her tummy a bit too. It was kinda fun watching her kick her little legs around in the water. I think it was so much easier to bathe her too. She didn't scream or cry once like she does with the infant tub. Plus I was able to do the skin to skin contact that was recommended to me by many people. Over all it was a fun time.
Last night she slept in her crib the whole night. It was awesome. I can hear her cry just enough to where it doesn't wake Jason up. It's very peaceful and all that goes on is the music from her mobile. The mobile will almost put me to sleep if I sit there long enough listening to it. I love it. She hasn't recognized it visually yet, but the music seems to soothe her so she knows its there to some degree....
Yesterday we had her on the bed for some tummy time. We rolled up a blankie and put it under her tummy and she was able to keep her head up off the bed much better and much longer. She's getting stronger. I can put her on my lap and she'll kick against my tummy and push herself almost off my legs... scared the crap out of me the first time she did it...She's getting better at rolling herself over on her side. She's grown half an inch in a little for a week. Not sure the weight, still have to do that. She's starting to eat more. She did almost 6oz at one feeding yesterday. I'm trying to get her back into being swaddled. For some reason she hates it. She has to have her hands to her face all the time. And she loves kicking.... But thats good...strengthening those legs up. She's cooing alot more now. Usually after she sneezes... but during tummy time also... Things are going good. I'm gonna start my work outs today. I can't wait till I can go shopping and get some new pants! Oh good things...
