Because your mummies a bit lazy I thought I might store your pages on here for you.
Term 1
Wk1 - Welcome to space
7 weeks old - today I screamed and grizzled. Mummy was very embarrassed having a grumpy kid at the first class. I took a SHORT nap and sang "twinkle twinkle little star" with Lukah. We held hands and smiled at each other.
Wk2 - Becoming a parent
No one told us how much time you spend just looking at your baby. You are a huge time waster but you are adorable. Nothing can prepare you for broken night sleeps and the stress of hearing you cry but not being able to do anything to calm you down. One night you had a nightmare and it broke my heart I started crying with you. You woke up, looked and me and just floated back off to sleep. I didn't put you back to bed until Dad came home because I was so worried you would have bad dreams again.
Wk3 - Sleeping
This week you have been sick. We don't know what's wrong but you only want to sleep on mummies shoulder and we have been sleeping on the couch every night. Needless to say we are both not happy campers at the moment. You sleep best when wrapped up like a caterpillar. You cat nap waking every 45-60 minutes which is not very good. You like being patterned and shushed to sleep. We use rain noise to help you go to sleep and sleep longer.
Wk 4 - Understanding me
You like songs. You have started to sing to yourself and stop and listen anytime dad or I sing to you. You love your daddy and mummy and always have big smiles for us. You recognize your family and are a little shy around other people. They think your so placid - boy have you got them fooled!! You like to watch the world and sometimes feeding you is hard because you must see what is happening around you and give mummy a smile to say thank you. In the car you try to sit up to see out of the window. You are very nosy- must mean you will be very clever!
Wk5 - Stimulation
(Thanks granny for teaching you that when theres a camera to poke out your tongue instead of smiling =) ) You sing to yourself when you get tired. If you are very tired and can't settle your self to keep we will sing you a song; hush little baby, twinkle twinkly, starship lullaby (your daddy just makes up songs about making you sleep in the coup with the chickens). You like being patterned and rocked up on someone's shoulder, you don't like being laid down like a baby because you can't see. Rain white noise helps settle you to sleep. You love to suck, however we don't want you sucking your thumb and you hate the dummy so you suck our thumbs. Your welcome! You love being kissed and put up close to our face so you can explore it with your fingers and eyes.
Wk6 - What do I see? What do I hear?
Emily you are very clever and cute. This week you have started giggling. The first time was when you were sitting in the bath and mummy made the red rubber ducky quack and kiss your tummy. This week we have also notice you are suffering from 3 month sleep regression. Aka waking every 2 hours at night. No sleep for mum.
I like to look at/watch...
You loved look at the colors on TV but we don't let you. Dad takes you outside and you watch him in the veggie garden - while getting attack by the chickens. You love spending time under your play gym watching the colors and toys swing around you. Red is you favorite color at the moment and you follow anything around that is red.
Sounds I like hearing:
When you go to bed you listen to your rain white noise. It sounds like rain on the roof and puts you to sleep. You love listening to your mummy and daddy sing and you love your daddies stories. You got a massive fright when your daddy starts getting excited and screaming loudly!
Wk7 - Establishing Attachment
This week, Mum and Dad have noticed that I... Have started to giggle a lot. It's a bit of a creamy cackle giggle. Vet your father taught you it! You are very loud all the time at home but shy at other peoples houses. At night you like listening to your lullaby or music. It helps you to sleep longer and quieter.
