Baby had her third lot of injections while she had a cold (I did tell the nurse but was made to feel stupid as 'it wouldn't affect it'), initially she was fine and didn't cry once I'd given her a cuddle. She was fine until about 5 hours after the third lot of calpol (which is all they recommend to give) when I woke up and realised she felt hot so took her temp and it was 38.3°C! She has never had a temp before so I did panic, but we took a layer off her, and gave her milk and calpol. This brought her temp back to normal but I was still really worried!!
She loves her bouncer and loves playing with toys that make noise! She's not that interested in the piano on the bouncer that lights up, she prefers the little frog toy that's on it and all he does is spin round when pushed lol. She also loves wrist rattles although she does try to eat them! And she loves her teething book we got her which makes rattling noises when you touch it, a bit like a crisp packet.
She doesn't like tummy time atm, after about 5 minutes she starts to cry and wants to be sitting up again! However when she does have tummy time she has started to take a few steps (is this the right word) crawling before she forgets to move her hands!I was so excited when she first did this!!
She is sleeping pretty much the same as last month, although we have started to try and give her a proper bedtime routine (ruined when hubby makes me pick him up at the time that I should be putting baby to bed!)
She still loves the bath and loves to kick her legs really hard in the water to splash me in the face! She finds it hilarious. She loves having her hair washed and will smile while I'm washing it then splash about excitedly after.
She loves swimming but only when the water is warm. She gets a bit cranky if the water is too cold so we have to take her out and warm her up. I'm not sure if I mentioned in the last baby post that we had a photo shoot in the pool with her the first time we took her swimming. The pictures are amazing and she looks so happy in the water!
She loves me reading to her, and her favourite at the minute is spots first picnic as the pictures are big and really colourful. It's a bit boring for me but then I'm not the intended audience 😂
We have had to put her onto cow and gate milk as she was becoming constipated with aptamil. She has been fine since we swapped though.
She loves nursery, and seems to play with a lot of toys there. We did receive a bottle that wasn't hers though which makes me wonder if they are using her bottles with other kids and giving her someone else's or if they just got mixed up when putting the bottles into the bags. She also had a scratch on her face that she couldn't have done herself but as there are babies from about 7months old onwards it was bound to happen accidentally eventually as she is the youngest there.
She has been to the doctors as the cough she had with her cold got worse and sounded very chesty, so we have some medicine for her now which will hopefully clear it up. The doc said that the more viruses she gets at this age, the better her immune system will be so there's a bit of a silver lining.
She definitely knows who I am now and looks for me in a room if she is playing with her toys or with someone else, and she cries if I leave the room and smiles when I come back.
We have had to ring the health visitor to get her weighed as there are no clinics for us to go to and my dad thought she had lost weight. My doctors surgery say they can't weigh her as they don't have the proper baby scales so the health visitor is coming out next week.
She loves chattering to herself, and to me! She even talks to me on the phone which is so cute when I am on my way to uni! She sometimes sounds like she is saying mama when her daddy has her but we think it is coincidence rather than her actually talking, like the more she talks the more she will randomly make noises that sound like words.
That's it for the 4 month update I think ☺
