We packed up the family and headed to Delaware to visit Mommy’s family at the beach. The weather was a little cold and windy, but we still enjoyed an egg hunt, walking in the sand, and eating lots of yummy food! The guy dressed up as the Easter Bunny? Not so much …
I’m half a year old already! I turned six months old on March 25, 2016, and I now weigh 18 pounds. I’m 26.25 inches long and I have a head circumference of 18.25 inches.
A lot has happened this month. I moved to my own room on March 12, 2016, which is the same night Mommy and Daddy decided to sleep train me. I cried for fifteen minutes before falling asleep the first night, five minutes the second night, and now I’m able to self soothe. Everyone is so much happier in our house! I do need to rub my “Miss Els” mini blankies on my face to fall asleep, though, and brother Jack has graciously gifted them all to me for this purpose.
I’m also getting more proficient at eating solid food. To-date I’ve tried apple sauce, sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas. I got the go-ahead from the doctor to try yogurt tonight, and I’m looking forward to it! I’ve been having about two oz of solids twice a day, but I’m ready to go up to three times now.
Current likes: Miss Els, grabbing faces, and squealing
Current dislikes: When mommy walks away from me
I turned two years and ten months old on March 22, 2016. As I close in on my third birthday, I’m able to tell you that I’ll be three in May, and I also know what month most of my family members were born in, too. I have some opinions about where and how I’d like to celebrate my birthday. Mommy and Daddy took me to “Bounce” for the first time, and after about fifteen minutes of hesitance, I jumped into the foam pit and started giggling. Now I can’t stop asking when I’m going back for my birthday party.
I’m picking up some new phrases at daycare, including “what’s going on in here, guys?” which is what I typically say upon entering a room. I also like to play doctor, which involves looking in my patient’s ears for “waxes” and putting on my gloves to “feel you better.”
Current likes: jumping, playing pretend
Current dislikes: being corrected (I cover my eyes and pout if I think I’m in trouble)
Whee – loving the foam pit!
Jack here, everybody! We took a trip to visit the maritime aquarium this weekend, and had a great time. I was a little hesitant about touching the sting rays and jelly fish, but I LOVED looking at all the sea creatures, especially the seals. Lena had fun, too!
