Week 8- You are so much more alert this week, doing longer stretches where you’re awake during the day and a longer stretch of six hours at night (thank goodness 🙂 You have a new found love of grabbing my necklace and hair and have quite a strong grip! Adam was just like that and I lost a lot of necklaces.
Your brothers are still completely smitten with you. They love when you’re awake and I have to convince them not to wake you up. Malcolm still insists on calling you Ava ‘Dural’ and its the cutest thing. I went to Malcolm’s school to talk them about babies and showed them lots of pictures and videos. Malcolm was so proud talking about ‘our baby’. They love to come into our room in the morning and give you kisses and say good morning.
You’ve started clutching my finger with your little hand while you’re nursing and it makes my heart swell every time. You’re lifting your head up and love to look around at everything. Tummy time is a little crowded cause your brothers like to help out but you don’t mind. I had to put away a few bits of clothes this week and it just about broke my heart. You’re smiling so much when we talk or sing to you.
