Playing catch up...again...I figured I would give you all a montage of sleeping Matilda! There are lots of these pictures. Mostly because she has taken to sleeping primarily when she's on me.
It also occurs to me that these pictures immortalize all of the terrible things we do to get her to sleep. Don't judge! I know that the official recommendations are on their back, by themselves, on a firm surface, with nothing near them...but I also know how our baby sleeps. Which is on her side, on us, on a pillow, with something heavy on top of her, or with a hankie clutched in her hands.
These pictures span a whole month (!!) so you can see her grow before your eyes....
Sleeping in her vibro chair (the other one) is a rare thing...but occasionally she'll be deeply asleep enough to put down. This is from May 16th--7 weeks old.
A big yawn!
This past month we have noticed she likes an upright posture most of the time. She sits very nicely when propped up in a couch corner. She has great head control and good core strength! This one is also from around 7 weeks.
This picture is actually taken from my perspective after she's done eating. She's a little burrowy baby and likes to burrow up against my stomach when she's nursed and ready to sleep. This one is from around 8 weeks. Note the little wrist rolls and growing bald spot on the back of her head. Oh well, baby hair is never a long-term proposition.
In the car on the way back from her two month shots. She got 3 shots and a drink and did a great job with them! She definitely cried for each, but calmed right down. Then she slept for 3 hours in a row. So Stu and I went out to lunch and enjoyed a sleeping baby. She is 9 weeks old in this picture.
Another post-nursing picture (the dark red pillow is a good give-away). This onesie is sized 0-3 months old. Hurray! She's finally out of newborn clothes (for the most part). She's still slim enough for them, but her legs and torso are too long for most of the newborn sized stuff. I'm sure I'm one of the only moms that's gotten great use out of the newborn sized things we got...This picture is from the first of June: she's 9.5 weeks old.
Grammy Nammy suggested that this one be called "Sleeping Beauty". You can see she's really grown by this picture: 10 weeks old! Two wrist rolls now and cheeeeeeeks.
A recent shot: 11.5 weeks old. Yes, she really likes having stuff put on top of her when she sleeps. Often it's my hand or an arm or a blanket. But in a pinch a pillow works, too. She's a cuddly little girl.
