Blakely is 8 weeks old today!! I cannot believe it!! I am also a little relieved. If a baby has a fever before they are 8 weeks old, they have to get a full infectious work-up (which includes an IV, LP and urinary catheter) and an automatic hospital admission. Yuck!! So I am happy to report that Blakely is 8 weeks old today and fever free!! Yeah!!
I'm not sure why, but this week I feel like she matured a lot. I feel like I blinked and she stopped being a newborn, and started becoming this baby that is eager to learn and participate in her environment. She is so alert and interactive! She is a great baby and so much fun!!
Weekly Highlights:
-Holding head-up for 5-10 seconds during Tummy Time
-Sleeping in 8 hour stretches at night (only getting up 1 time per night... YEAH for Mommy!!)
-Loves to be Naked!!!
-Majorly kicking her legs and swinging her arms
-Thumb sucking?
Picture Highlights from the Week:
Blakely LOVES to be naked. Sometimes if she is fussy and you take all her clothes off... she will stop fussing and get happy. She will smile like crazy and kick her legs!! She loves it!!
Loves bathtime.... until you take her out. She loves to be naked in the water... but HATES getting dried off and dressed! We have a little water bug!!!
Blakely has majorly started kicking her legs... which makes her Bjorn Bouncer... BOUNCE... which makes little Blake-A-Boo smile and coo!! She loves it!!
She is the cutest! I love her so much!
