Oh, this perfect little creature only gets better. Although we are struggling with constipation still and all the joys that come along with it (mainly hysterical screaming for hours), Luna is starting to become more aware of her surroundings. What does that mean? A whole lot of social smiling, silly expressions (I love her one eyebrow raise), and cooing. She’s awake a whole lot more during the day, which means I actually get to play with her instead of just stare at her sleeping. It’s pretty magical.
She still hates tummy time, but is ridiculously good at rolling over – as in, she does it over and over again anytime I put her in the activity gym. She’s now fitting into most 0-3M clothing, but her feet are so big, sometimes they don’t fit into the footsie pajamas (like father, like daughter). She is starting to snuggle after feedings, and whether it is involuntary or not, I love that she strokes my shoulder and back. It’s kind of the sweetest thing ever. 🙂
With the holidays upon us, I am so excited to start new traditions with Luna and incorporate her into old ones. Not being one for the holiday spirit, I’m thinking the tables may turn now that she is in the picture. What are your favorite holiday traditions with your fam?
ps; I realize this isn’t the cutest shot of the little moon, but I absolutely love it because she is making the same exact face I did in one of my own baby pictures! I gotta take what I can get since she looks just like her daddy! 😉

This is such a sweet time – I love when they start to really interact. Also, there’s some great youtube videos about tummy massages for babies when they’re gassy or constipated that were great with my son 🙂

I think all babies hate tummy time! I know my nephews did and do!

I just love reading your updates with Luna. I’m so excited to hear she’s rocking the roll over situation! Happy 6 weeks!! 🙂

Love these updates! She is so precious. 🙂 We started little family traditions when our little was born – picking a tree all together as a family, letting her put the star on top, baking. Little things like that. Though for her actual first Christmas we did nothing – she was only a week old haha! 😀

Aw thank you so much!
People already think we are ridiculous for buying and wrapping her xmas gifts since she’s only a couple of months old, but! Traditions!

Thanks!!!

Ha! So I’ve heard. My nephew was just a special case: he loved it!

I will definitely look into these videos! She’s feeling a little better these days but we still struggle with her being regular!
