Ok Ladies, Thank you so much! I have relaxed about her facination with the TV and suprise suprise she isnt that fussed with it now! I lay her on her play mat with the childrens foxtel channel on while I make my breakfast... and then I eat it on the couch so she can see me. The instant she sees that I am there she starts chatting to me, then turns away from the TV and chats to her toys! I think by turning her away from it all the time I was making it more than it was, and now she can look whenever she wants... she doesnt care!
RE Size - Tiah is still in some 0000 tops, but mostly in 000 now. She is 5.5kgs now I think (Weighing her on my scales at home) and about 64cm..... beanpole! What is cute is that I found my old baby book, and at this age I was exactly the same!
Re Giggles - We had a giggle a while back and then...... nothing! But yesterday she seemed to figure she can talk to me - so now we have giggles, blowing rasberries and chatting galore. She gets bored wayyyyyy before I do as well, I could do the stupid faces to make her giggle for hours
Re Sleeping - Last night Tiah woke at 10.30pm after having a feed around 9ish, usually I would offer her the boob again but I was so tired I just put her dummy back in and patted her head for a while... she slept until 1pm! I am going to try and keep doing that, maybe we can drop a feed over night? We have started to try and make her have her day sleeps in her cot as well, I was holding her or putting her in her pram, but she was only staying asleep for 45mins tops. I have got her to sleep now after 30 mins of talking and smiling at me from the cot... fingers crossed we get an hour or so!
I am loving this motherhood thing so much! Last night she was so upset and crying for an hour or more, and I KNEW it was because the sleep suit we put her in was a different fabric than she was used to and she didnt like it (She is very "tactile" and particular about how things feel) DP disagreed and we tried to settle her for so long until I cracked it and took the suit off. She fell asleep in seconds. I fell asleep with a huge grin on my face after singing "told you so" to DP
Also, if I let my fringe fall onto her forehead and brush it back and forth, she closes her eyes and says "ooooooooooooo" - melts me every time
