Hip hip hooray, Baby Bear turned three months! She is such a different little lady than we brought home from the hospital. She is SO aware of everything around her. She is chubby, and happy, and smiley, and cute, and awake a lot. Just in the past week her sleeping has vastly improved. She went from fighting naps for up to an hour at EVERY naptime to going to sleep on her own in just a couple of minutes. And she went from waking up 4-5 times a night to just 2-3 currently. The little baby that used to take up to 2 hours to be put to bed is gone and has been replaced with a baby that has been falling asleep almost instantaneously when I put her in bed for the night. Sometimes I just stare at her waiting for her eyes to pop open again, but they never do anymore. What happened? I don't know, but I like it.
(The pediatrician told me that she was probably sleeping when I wasn't watching her...)
Baby Bear loves to look at toys that move or light up. And she can reach for them and keep touching them until they make music.
Not sure who likes this toy more... |
We met with both our caseworkers today and little Baby Bear will be with us through at least January then possibly another 1-3 months before she goes back to live with her mom. I'm really nervous to relinquish her into mom's care. I hope that this is what is best for Baby Bear. That will be a hard day for me when it comes.
