Happy Baby

We’ve started using a pacifier some this week. The main time it gets used is when Jessica wakes up crying and I want to calm her down while I change her  diaper before feeding her. This is especially useful because then she won’t wake James up too. You might question me wanting to allow James to keep sleeping, but he is going to work and I get to take naps with Jessica during the day, so I figure James deserves to sleep during the night. Outside of diaper changes, especially when I set her back in the crib while I wash my hands, she doesn’t seem too interested in the pacifier. But look her hand works quite well! This was taken while she was napping.

On Tuesday, Jessica had an ultrasound performed on her hips. This is a common precautionary test for breech babies. She slept the entire time, even with that cool gel. The ultrasound technicians said it would be nice if more babies were that calm. Below is a picture taken after they finished the test. We found out the result and everything is normal. On a side note, Dell Children’s Hospital is really well laid out.

I don’t know how she scoots herself down and at a 45° angle in the crib, but somehow she does.

When I set her in the crib after changing her diaper, so I can wash my hands, I’ve been setting her so she can look in her mirror and it keeps her happy.

I can tell she’s growing because the newborn clothing is getting too small, well mainly too short. See the below photo. She’s at the maximum length before it gets too short, although she still has a little ways to go before it gets too tight.

Jessica is such a happy baby. Very infrequently does she get really upset. Although she still doesn’t like baths. We’re hoping that will change.

Sometimes when we go on walks, she is awake and alert, watching the bugs hanging from the stroller/carrier handler. Other times, as seen in the below photo, she sleeps the entire walk.
