I think she's hitting a growth spurt. Why? Because she naps more than usual, and last night, she slept for almost 11 hours uninterrupted. She entirely skipped the 9 hour and 10 hour range, and skipped straight to 11. It was luxurious, but I was a little worried. I had to wake her up to feed her. However, I should not have been so worried, because she was ecstatic when she woke. This kid is amazing!
She has also made another huge discovery! She has discovered how to use her hands! She has these little link toys, and has learned how to pick them up by herself. I sometimes hang them on her bouncy chair, and when she pulls them or puts them in her mouth, the music will start. The first couple times it startled her, but then she understood that she was the one doing it. After a while, when the music would start, she would flash me a proud smile.
I've also noticed that she drools . . . a lot. Is it too early for her to start teething? She's not ornery or running a fever, but her hands are constantly in her mouth, and the front of her is constantly drenched. I hope those teeth don't poke through until she's at least 6 months. Otherwise, it will be a long few months for me, nursing her. Ouch!
Don't you love the drool? Look how high her head is during tummy time!
I love seeing her grow, but really, can we hit a pause button or something? Why can't these first few months of her life on the outside go by as slowly as they did when she was on the inside?
