have baby = get blog: Thumbsucking and other adventures

Siler has re-discovered her thumb which means that there have been a few mornings lately where she rouses a little at 5am then finds her thumb and sleeps on and off until around 7am. OK. Works for me! It is still a lot of work for her to get the thumb in her mouth so it's my favorite baby tv channel right now!

I think that I might have mentioned somewhere that she is growing up so fast. I can't believe she's over 2months old. We went to her 2 month check up and she was 90th percentile in length and 95th percentile in weight! Good, strong, sturdy baby! She got one shot and cried for a half second when the nurse stuck her and then continued nursing. Feeding is more important than crying hence the 95th percentile bit!

She really like to hang out in her play gym. Sometimes it's so much fun she falls asleep mid-play. She has started grasping things when they come in contact with her hands and we are working on rolling over. It's hard for her to suck her thumb when she's on her tummy though so I don't think there is a lot of motivation to roll!

Last weekend we went up to the Chatooga River for a raft guide reunion. Siler got to play in the Chatooga for an afternoon and hang out with lots of baby friends. We had a gaggle of mammas and babies and a couple of daddies and baby gear! What a great way to spend a hot day! I only have a couple of photos of that because I was by myself (Starr got Parrish on a raft down the river. Thanks Starr!) but I'll work on getting some more from Lisa and Bart who have the worlds coolest camera and baby gear. Siler has been threatening to pack her bags and move in with them because when they go fun places outside Lucille gets a tent, a cooling system and a fan. They were kind enough to share a pea pod with us and a cooling system. I'll work on the fan! Thanks Bart and Lisa and Lucille!
