Izzy turned four months old on Friday. She's a sweetie but has shown that she does have quite a temper. Especially when it is nap time and she's not in her crib yet. Izzy has set her own bed time to be 7pm and she still wakes up around 5:30am. She's been busy trying to find new positions in her crib and travels quite a bit in it. While at Grandpa's, Izzy finally turned over back to front after a week of struggling. Of course, she doesn't like being on her tummy so whining ensues shortly after she's done it.
This has been a physically intensive time for Izzy. Izzy has decided that being upright is the way to be and has been working on her abs. If she's laying on us or propped up, she will pull herself up. Sometimes she pulls even further and puts her head to her knees. She's also doing a lot of leg lifts and now can touch her knees and is working on reaching her toes. We do a lot of arm work doing pull-ups. She also has a new jumpster to do some leg work. She hasn't quite gotten bouncing yet but enjoys the 360 views.
Izzy's hand-eye coordination has improved and is most often used to grab things to put in her mouth: body parts, rattles, straws, toucans. So last week, we decided to give her a chance to eat something real. She didn't like the rice cereal (who would?) but did eat oatmeal. Now she's on bananas and sweet potatoes. She's making a real mess but most of it's getting in her tummy.
