Madeline is 19 weeks old today. According to the book "Your Baby's First Year, Week By Week" Madeline has hit all of her milestones so far. I read this book every Thursday. Sometimes Maddy likes for me to read the weekly update outloud to her and sometimes I have to sneak away for my alone time to find out what's going on.
The milestones that we are seeing this week include Maddy reaching and grabbing onto objects without any help. She is also putting almost everything she can get a hold of in her mouth, including my hair, shirt, and fingers!
Maddy also is discovering her own voice. She now makes loud noises and can change the pitch of the sound. She makes all kinds of sounds and does it all day long. She laughs and screams and loves hearing the silly sounds.
Maddy has also found her feet. When sitting up, she grabs onto them and plays with her toes. I think she tries to put them in her mouth!
Madeline is sleeping on average 9 hours a night and taking 2 naps a day. This is normal for a 19 week old.
Madeline started getting a little fussy a few days ago. She has a tiny tooth bud popping through!! So of course I went to Babies R Us and bought every teething ring and toy I could find!! I discovered that freeezing her pacifiers really helps calm her and her sucking on my finger is the most soothing for her.
Maddy doesnt understant the rice ceral yet so she is still just eating around 5 bottles of formula a day. I will wait until next week to try feeding her the cereal again.
I am really enjoying being with her everyday.
