Vivi: Twelve Weeks



Ahh, we're heading into the comfortable three-month zone where babies stop acting like a wailing loaf of bread and start acting like humans.  Sweet relief!  

Vivienne is playing with her voice.  She likes to let out high-pitched squeals and screams.  I first heard it while she "napped" in her crib the other morning.  I was doing dishes and had to drop everything to go inspect what was going on.  The sounds are joyous, but she makes serious, intense faces while she's making them. She's too funny.  

We put her in the Bumbo a few times this week.  I still feel like she's still a little young and wobbly for it, but she loves nothing more than sitting up to observe the room.  

She's starting to reach for objects.  You can see the concentration in her face as she tries to operate her limbs.  She's most interested in grabbing her feet.

Vivi is becoming a dirty baby.  She hates, Hates, HATES taking baths.  Between how miserable they make her and the cold, we aren't bathing her nearly as often as we used to bathe baby Madeline.  Second child...

Vivi is stranger shy already.  Her face melts in a puddle of epic baby sadness when someone other than Mumma or Dada holds her.  

Her tears are starting to come in, which makes watching her cry ten times sadder.  She's been very fussy so far today.  The girl usually eats every two hours, but she doesn't even want to nurse.  It's clear that her tummy is bothering her.  We'll be paying the doctor a visit next week for sure.  

I just love this little face to pieces.  I'm so glad she chose to join our family!

  1. That's weird that babies don't have tears. Like where do they come from? Do you have to water them for three months before they are hydrated enough for tears?

  2. Ha. I don't know...something about their tear ducts.
