She still refuses to stay on her stomach for "tummy time". She rolls right to her back every time & gets mad if she can't. I read for tummy time you can also lay down with them on your chest because they still use the same muscles to raise up & look at you so that's what we do instead. She is now trying to master rolling from her back to her stomach but hasn't quite gotten there yet. She has discovered her feet & likes to grab them & play with them. I'm sure in no time they will be in her mouth as everything seems to find it's way there. She is also very vocal these days. Mostly when we put her in her bouncy seat, she just talks & talks...actually she yells, growls, & squeals. It's hilarious & we love it!
Update on her ears...we did see the ent on the 28th of nov & he scheduled her for tubes that Friday Dec 2nd. I was freaking out mostly due to the fact that while he was talking to me & Stephen about possibly doing tubes he said she was to little & needed to grow/gain some more due to the risks of being put to sleep. Then he went & talked to some anesthesiologists & said never mind we could do it that they said she would be fine....umm couldn't he have talked to them first before telling us it was too much of a risk? So yeah, I was freaked out. We had to be there at 5:45 & she couldn't eat past midnight...sounds fun right? She woke up about 4:30 that morning wanting to eat which she normally doesn't eat until 7 or 8am. So I thought great she's going to be screaming the entire time but she didn't. She wasn't taken back until 7:45 & she stayed awake until 7am & never cried. She was away from us for about 30min & yes I cried when they took her back..but not because I was scared but because I felt awful/guilty. She had just woken up when they came & got her & she was with complete strangers so I just felt awful. I was worried she would be scared & upset. In the end everything went well & she ate when it was all done, took a long nap, & woke up one happy girl. By the way did you know they made hospital gowns in her size? I had no clue & when they brought it to me to put on her, I thought seriously are they trying to make me cry! It was the smallest gown ever! I wish we would have taken it home lol Back to the important stuff...they said that they found she had what they called "glue ear" where along with fluid she had a glue like consistency in her ears. So basically she could barely hear before. Due to that fact it took her a few days to get use to some noises, she was getting scared easily by everything it seemed. Most babies come home & get adjusted to everyday noises but she pretty much had them thrown at her at once so it took some time. She's adjusted & is doing great now.
I can't believe she will be 5months old on Christmas! I'm so excited for her 1st Christmas, even though I know she doesn't know whats going on it's still a special time. Speaking of Christmas my sister came over the other day & we did some Christmas themed pictures of Jayden & they turned out great. Here's some of those pics along with some other pics from 4months:)
