We were all over the place in August. We stayed busy in Baltimore going to the zoo and an Os game. Then flew to Telluride, CO for Em’s wedding. Then drove to Indiana for 10 days for BJ’s bachelor party and wedding! I will devote a better post to our travels. But for the mean time, here are lots (!!) of snap-shots from early August:
Awhile ago I started working on a similarities/differences list of Evie and Wil as babies. I keep saying I want to add more, but never do! So I figured I’ll get it out now before it becomes completely outdated.
Wilek | Evie | |
Sleeping | Only sleep on our chest or his stomach. Would only sleep on his back for short stretches. Loved being swaddled. | Hates the swaddle. Sleeps on her back with her legs stretched out and arms above her head. Hates being on her stomach. |
Tummy Time | Great at tummy time. Great neck control. Could look up and around without any trouble | Hates it. Can barely get her head off the ground and usually just rests her forehead on the ground and cries until we get her…but shes getting better! |
Pacifier | Never got into it. | Loves it! Great soothing device when things get a little hectic. |
Diapers | Screamed bloody murder the second he had a dirty diaper. Then would scream his way through the actual diaper change. | Doesnt fuss about it and loves having her diaper changed. I get the most smiles during diaper changes. |
Bottles | Was pretty good with both bottle and nursing. Occasionally went on bottle strikes which were very long for me. Wil also went through a lot of burp cloths a day due to spitting up frequently. | Basically all bottles except during night. Doesn’t seem to have a preference. Despite some very impressive burps, Evie hardly spits up. |
Baths | Did not enjoy them. But was in the baby bath early on. Has learned to love them. | Does not enjoy them. We still haven’t given her a proper bath. All sponge baths around here, due to her gassy nature. |
Those. Cheeks.
Oh, that was me! Not anonymous!
