Ollie is 17 weeks today. On Thursday she will be 4 months old! She surprised us this past Thursday by rolling over from back to front for the first time, and repeating this new trick several times over the past few days. Each time she does it she gets frustrated to find herself on her tummy, which she doesn’t like, and then cries until we help her back to her back. I have a feeling that she’s going to start doing this in the crib, so our currently sleep-filled nights should get more interesting soon.
She’s also going through a super fussy feeding period, where basically she is very distracted by her new clear vision and wants to twist her head around all over the place while (or instead of) eating, to see the world. I was getting frustrated by this, thinking she’s not eating enough, but just read in one my multiple baby books that this is totally normal behavior for her age, and in a week or two she’ll go back to feedings with her normal vigor.
This week we are celebrating Thanksgiving with a visit from Geoff’s brother, dinner at Matthew, Kristen, and Paxton’s place, and a Friday visit with Jill, Morgan, and Pearl at their new house in Fishkill! I am over the moon at having 5 full days to spend with Ollie and Geoff. Just have to make it through tomorrow and Tuesday…
