Lightbulb Week!

Well it is as if a connection has suddenly been made in our baby girl's brain--her lightbulb moment. She went from just 'regular' crying of an infant to around perhaps 6-7 weeks starting to make different sounding cry that was actually a bit more 'pleasant' sounding kind of not a real cry almost animated. Well now she talks, she has been doing a bit of 'other' types of sounds for a bit but only occasionally. Now at eight weeks old she is going crazy with baby talk and even yelling. It is as if she just figured out she could do it and now she is doing it like crazy! Jared said we spent first 2 months of her life wishing she could talk and now we will spend the next 18 years wishing she would stop! She will lay in her bouncy and talk to me and she talks the most if she is in her crib watching her mobile she loves the zebra on it and will stare at it and follow it around. I have also managed to video tape her rolling over, in actuality the first half is more of a flop where she pushes herself so high up with her arms she rolls to the side and then she kicks her legs to get rest of the way over. She doesnt like it when she cant see her mobile so she rolls over best in her crib, I only wish the thing had a battery so I didnt have to keep winding it.

Also new as of past week or so is bath time. Jared now does the baths each night for the most part to get in some 'daddy time' and she now likes her baths too. We were using the water too cool I believe is why she didnt like it at first and she was not used to it. A friend got us this little temperature duck that shows if the water is too hot and we use water just before it is too hot and she loves it plus I bought some lavendar baby soap to get her nice and drowsy before bed and the routine seems to be working as she is sometimes going 7 hours between her nighttime feeds.
