1stWell at 4 months old Gwen is really alert and has started to take things in, she looks very intently at things, watches us a lot more and saves her really best smiles for us. We have also, in the last day or two, been getting more giggles out of her. It's lovely to see her becoming a person with a bit of a personality.
Here is a video of her working on her sounds and also shoving a teething chew toy in her gob! Wearing a tasty yellow number knitted by nanna!
Today I went to the gym for the first time leaving Gwen at Nanna's house, luckily she's quite a calm baby or I probably wouldn't want to inflict the noise onto other people. Don't get me wrong, she can make noise, but it's mainly when she's getting bored and wants your attention, or is tired and just before she finally goes to sleep. She fights the sleep the little monkey. Bedtime is usually about 9pm now, i'm trying to bring it forward, but not sure she's had enough to eat by then to see her through the night so its a routine of feed, try to put on bed, she flips herself over crying which turns to a pretty good yell! and then I feed her some more etc... I just keep giving her more food til she drops off enough to go in her cot and fall asleep. The thing about breastfeeding is you have no idea how much they are eating? She normally wakes up at 7/8am ish but lately she's been getting earlier like 4 or 5!! Not so pleasant, I felt really rough for a few days when she did that. She does however fall back to sleep easier when she wakes that early and then sleeps on til 10am! There is no pattern to her sleeps, this mornings 1st feed was at 6 am and then she went straight back to sleep and stayed asleep til I woke her at 9.
