One of my favorite times of day is when we go in to get Annie out of her crib when she wakes up after a nap or in the morning. I am rarely alone doing it since the kids always seem to want to be in on it and Annie acts like she is surprised that we are there and gets so excited to see us! Sometimes she sits in there playing and waiting for us and other times she is hanging over the side of the crib waiting for us. Either way it is a treat to pick her up and have her wrap her tiny little arms around our necks for a hug. And that smile melts my heart everytime!
Our binkie baby waiting for Mama to come get her.
This is when she gets really excited and she was also yelling, "mama, mama" when I went in this time! Bliss! What a happy baby!These pictures also remind me of Peter and Molly when they were this age - I always think it is a good sign when kids wake up happy - and all of my kids seem to wake up this way - not that I'm taking credit! Peter used to scream "Mama, come get him." and Molly girl used to screech at the top of her lungs until we responded. When Peter was about 14 months old he started getting out of his crib and he would come into my room hold his arms out and say,"Mama, here he is." Molly never got out of her crib - she preferred to screech and be lifted out with big hugs until she was about 2 and a half.
Poor Caroline doesn't get many updates because right now I keep a seperate journal for her but here is the preggo update I get each week - we are just about into week 24 - 16 weeks to go - sounds like a long time! These are the updates that amaze me because my godson, TJ, was born between week 24 and 25 weighing 1.4 pounds and 11.5 inches - he is amazing!
Week Twenty-Three
Proportions of the body are now quite similar to a newborn
although thinner since he hasn't begun to form body fat.
Bones located in the middle ear harden.
Your baby is able to hear. (Dads, did you know: low-frequency sounds mimicking a male voice penetrate the abdomen and uterine wall better than the higher frequencies of the female voice?)
The eyes are formed, though the iris still lacks pigmentation.
The pancreas, essential in the production of hormones, is developing steadily. She has begun producing insulin, important for the breakdown of sugars.
If born now, your baby has a 15% chance of survival, his odds going up with each passing day. .
The average baby at this stage weighs 1.1 pound (501gm) and is 11.38 inches (28.9cm) long.
