Week 12

Ayanah has discovered her hands and they are always in her mouth. She would rather suck on her hands than suck on her pacifier. She is also really starting to drool. She has for the most part been pretty laid back, but she is starting to realize if she cries I will come get her so she has been a little more needy lately. The smiles are abundant nowadays and she is starting to chuckle occasionally. I am excited to hear her laugh for the first time.


We went to Alayah's back to school night and met her new first grade teacher Mrs. Loomis. I am glad Alayah is excited to go back...hopefully, that excitement is long lived :)


Amarah has gone almost one week without her pacifier and so far we are doing pretty good, but she wakes up a lot at night asking for it. It's funny now that she doesn't have her momo she no longer seems too attached to her blanket and the tag that is on it. She doesn't even ask for it.

Alayah learned how to ride her bike today. I am so proud of her and she is so proud of herself. She has only practiced a handful of times and today it clicked. Today is also the day that I decided to take away Amarah's pacifiers. She misplaced all of them so I decided to today would be as good a day as any. Hopefully, this goes well. :)

Week 11

Ayanah has really started smiling this week. I was starting to get worried, but she loves when I give her kisses and she just lights up and I can get lots of smiles from her. She is still in size one diapers and wearing size 0-3 month clothing, although she has been wearing some just 3 months. She is also starting to fill in her newborn shoes. She is putting on some pounds and I am excited to see how much she weighs at her three month appointment.

10 Weeks

Ayanah has finally had her first conversation with me this week. She started cooing on Wednesday night after bathtime and seemed pretty proud of herself. Her smiles have also started immerging this week too. Usually, she only smiles when she is sleeping, but she has managed a couple of half smiles which get me very excited. She is still in size 1 diapers and is filling into size 3 month clothes. This week was kind of laid back which was nice since we just hung around the house all week. Since we were at home I had more one on one time with Ayanah which has now made her realize that if she cries I will hold her so she has been much more clingy.


Amarah Amarah....I am trying to work with her on potty training, but its hit or miss lately. Alayah has school starting again soon so I am enjoying having her around for the next two weeks before she is gone all day.

9 Weeks

We went to Ayanah's 2 month visit on Friday and she is now 10lbs and 22.25in with a 38cm head. She had to get two shots and she cried and cried all the way out to the car. My poor girl. She was pretty miserable the rest of the night and cried any time she moved her leg. I felt so bad for her. The other girls were very good at the appointment since I had to take them with me. We have to work more on tummy time since we haven't really done that yet and she can't really hold her head up very well. She is still a very easy baby and loves to sleep.
