mother lode

Edie is now 16 weeks old!

She’s a happy, chill baby who makes us smile all the time – even when her determined personality comes out from under that smile. She charms everyone who meets her. When we go in first thing in the morning or after a nap, she’ll do a ‘giggle wriggle’ where it seems she couldn’t be more happy to see us.

She loves to:

• be sung to, especially songs like Do-Re-Mi (and even anything we even vaguely know the words to)
• be flown around the house
• sit up in her stroller (with support)
• play in her activity gym
• ‘chat’ to us when we’re changing her
• have a bath (though hates getting out)

Edie has almost flawless skin. She’s getting a lot more hair and has beautiful long eyelashes. She’s long and slender – in the 75th percentile for length but only the 25th for weight. She’s only just graduated from her newborn clothes into 0-3 month sizes. If pants are long enough, the waistband doesn’t touch her waist.

Least favourite things:

• Eating – although her little mouth doesn’t purse like it used to, if she’s had enough and even takes one sip too many she’ll let it run out of her mouth – lovely!
• Getting out of the bath – though she’s getting more used to it.
