Abby Update at 10 Weeks

Abby is 10 weeks old today and getting so cute! She’s cuddly, she smiles, ‘talks’, giggles and even has the occasional belly laugh although this tends to happen when she’s milk-drunk and half asleep.

Abby at 9 weeks 6 days

She doesn’t just stare at her toys when she’s on the playmat, but whacks them and coos and gaas and laughs as she does it. Her face lights up when we come to say hello. She loves having ‘conversations’ with mummy and daddy, and also enjoys watching television which can be distracting when she’s feeding…

She may be going through another growth spurt at the moment. We’ve noticed that she’s drinking less but more often – having some now, a little nap, then the rest later.

Chub chub

Abby is now 6kg. She’s a rather chubby baby but a good chubby. And she’s long. I haven’t measured but she fits into some of the Pumpkin Patch clothes in the 3-6 month size. Definitely has daddy’s height unlike mummy who is only 5 ft tall. Abby will be reaching things for me in a few years!

Even though I sometimes still don’t get to shower until daddy comes home, I have more time to do things during the day. On most days she seems to be happy playing by herself if she’s not napping, and cries when she actually needs something.

Tummy time (before she started crying)

It might be because she’s older, or we may be used to what she wants, or we aren’t too worried about letting her play by herself, but she’s getting easier to handle and we’re enjoying her more.

Now she just has to have a reliable routine so I can plan my day and do things like bake cupcakes again!

(She also had a number 3 the other day – a poo explosion that went up her back and through her clothes. Another milestone, lol!)

What a cutie! I used to take Charlotte into the bathroom with me in the bouncer and play peek a boo with the curtain – she was happy and I got clean!
