Baby Update

Squirm is officially 10 weeks old (11 on Thursday). She discovered her hands a two weeks ago and she talks all the time. She is vocal. We love her. Munchkin is feeling a little of the left-outs. She obviously isn't getting as much attention as she did before Squirm was born but she is a great big sister. She gives Squirm hugs and kisses whenever she can. It's when we go in public that we have a problem. She gets into everyone's face and tells them she's five. On top of that she is being disobedient. WE have to tell her multiple times to do things before she does them. It's very frustrating and Mommy is tired of hearing "No, but..." I don't have the patience for it. Basically if I ask Munchkin to do something I need her to do it as quickly as possible without the excuses and dragging of sleep. Secondly she doesn't want to take naps and doesn't want to go to sleep at night. She's trying to get attention but she isn't going to get the kind that she wants. This is the hard part of psarenting.


My Baby This Week -- Your 2-Month-Old, Third week
Your baby is busy absorbing the sights and sounds around him. How? By looking, listening, and touching. You can help keep those brain cells multiplying by letting your baby handle a wide variety of objects such as soft teddy bears, hard plastic cookie molds, and rubber balls. Just make sure they're too big for him to choke on: Children under a year old shouldn't play with toys that have parts smaller than 1 1/4 inches around or 2 1/4 inches long.
