So at 1 month she had finally adjusted to the new facilities, formula, baths, the dogs (Duncan is particularly protective of her already) and life was good but not too eventful.....yet! She's pretty bald here and no eyebrows or eyelashes to speak of yet but she's got nothing but time.
By 2 months she was SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! I fully expected to strap in for at least a few months of sleepless nights but this babe sleeps blissfully through the night, a blessing for which I am extremely grateful every day. She also got her first shots this month and did surprisingly well. We are choosing to go the conservative route and give only the shots that are absolutely necessary. I never knew this but apparently there could be a link between giving certain vaccines and Autism. In addition, baby vaccines typically contain so much mercury that if a baby got full regime of shots during the first year she would have consumed more mercury than an average-sized ADULT is supposed to have in a year!! They tell you not to eat fish with mercury when you're pregnant but then they shoot your baby up with mercury for the first 2 years of life??? Crazy....Luckily for us our Doc is on top of these things and special orders all of her vaccines without mercury.
By 3 months she was dishing out the smiles and developed a fondness for Daddy's singing and deep voice. She finally got eyebrows and luxuriously long eye lashes like Daddy....but still pretty bald. She also decided she doesn't like laying on her back AT ALL....she likes to be sitting up and right in the middle of all the action! Mommy went back to work this month (I know I said I wouldn't talk about it..sorry) and Eva started daycare at Miss Robin's house. She loves Miss Robin and her mother who are both nurses. And they especially love her Trumpet socks that Aunt Trina got her!
By 4 months she is a whopping 12 lbs 4 oz and 24 inches long! She still a little tyke by the doctor's standards (25th percentile) but she eats like a piggy and looks like chubby, dimpled goodness to us! She has also started laughing, more like giggling. I HAVE to tape record this one day because I don't think there is a better sound in the entire world. She is ticklish now too, especially around her neck and ribs. She likes to pull herself into a standing position, has good head control, makes funny razzing noise and is starting to imitate Daddy and Mommy. You stick your tongue out, she sticks her tongue out. You go 'gurgle, gurgle', she goes 'gurgle, gurgle' and so it goes. Who needs the night life when you've got all of this entertainment right in your own back yard?!?
