You guys, I have been slacking on this poor blog! I have just been in a funk so I apologize if you are looking for more posts but I am trying to recommit to getting more posted. For some reason I never miss posting these updates. They aren't the most read or popular posts but they are important to me! I love to look back on them and the months just fly by that it is nice to stop and reflect. I still want to share Noah's 2.5 year update before he's 3 hahah there is just so much happening right now that I don't want to forget!!
With each new month I wish for her to stay in this phase because it becomes my favorite! It's safe to say she is just going to keep getting more fun! She seriously has the best personality blossoming and is so funny!
EAT.
This girl LOVES to eat! She is becoming a pro at eating solids. We just recently introduced puffs and she loves them. She really loves anything tho! If we start eating dinner and it isn't time for her solids yet I will try to sneak over to the table and eat but she is too smart and crawls as fast as she can over to the table and will whine until we share. haha. She is also eating the applesauce pouches like a pro which is super convenient for when we are out and about! She uses a sippy cup with a straw. We give her water here and there for practice but she isn't using it all the time. She does awesome with it tho! I am kind of surprised because Noah's cup is a more difficult cup to drink from. She still isn't taking a bottle but at least she loves solids and will use a cup so if an emergency happened I think she would be OK without me for a few hours ;)
Her eating schedule looks like this:
Wake up & Nurse
1 hour after waking fruit purees with organic oat meal mixed in
Nurse after morning nap
mid afternoon she will have a squeeze pouch or applesauce or fruit
Nurse after afternoon nap
Dinner time she will one big pack of meat mixture purees and one pack of fruit
Nurse before bed time
I was surprised that she is already wanting a mid day snack/"lunch", but I couldn't recall when I started doing that with Noah so maybe this is the right time she have solids 3 times per day. One day she was being fussy and I couldn't figure out what was wrong until I gave her something to eat! Girl loves her food :)
SLEEP.
Siena is pretty much on the 2, 3, 4 schedule. So she wakes up in the morning and has 2 hours of wake time before needing a nap, then she is awake for 3 hours and needs an afternoon nap and then is awake for 4 hours before going to bed for the night. Her naps are between 1-2 hours long most days. She does well with napping on the go and being a little off schedule, but she truly sleeps best in her crib. She has begun to move around in her crib and was scooching down to the bottom completely off the dock a tot. I was finding her like that in the morning and after every nap. I tried one day to take the dock out and it was like she didn't know what to do in there without it. So I left it in for a few more weeks and some naps/wake-ups she would stay in it, but recently she has been out of it every time and on her belly! So I took the dock out again so she would have more room to move around and it has been going well. Just goes to show that something that didn't work before might work in the future!! She is totally a luvie girl like her big bro and sleeps with her bunny every nap and at bed time. She sleeps thru the night every night and usually sleeps 12 hours sometimes a little less. Bed time is between 7&8 depending on when her last nap is.
WHAT'S NEW?
This last month was full of so many "firsts"! It was a pretty big month for little miss S. She began to crawl and is now quick as lightening! She figured out how to pull up on everything and anything so nothing is safe anymore haha.
She popped her first tooth and although she was pretty fussy at times it wasn't so bad. I hope the rest come in like that one. She popped her second bottom tooth a few days ago too! She has only bitten me once or twice (still ouch!) and I hope that's the extent to that.
She tried and LOVES puffs, Cheerios and Annie's cocoa bunnies!!
She says, "mama" and has for a bit but just recently started saying "dada" which Robbie is SO happy about!
She claps her little hands and it is precious!!
And of course, her FIRST Easter!!
FAVORITES.
- Bath time!! She loves taking a bath and is a great way to calm her before bed.
- FOOD!
- Nursing
- Mama. Still her favorite although she loves catching an afternoon nap on daddy and he totally eats it up!
- Her big brother! Noah can be mean to her at times tho...she's going to be tough
- Her bunny luvie
- Crawling and standing...even in the bathtub. eek!
MISS SIENA AUGUST ROSE.
Oh girlfriend, I love your sweet personality so much! It is growing everyday and it is the best. You are so busy and on the go. Every month I think is my favorite and then you prove me wrong and I am obsessed with the next phase you're in. I love that we are besties and I hope it stays that way. You put up with your big brother's tough love like a little boss!
Here's to another month of hoping that your ankle and arm rolls stick around ;)
