Four Months and Three Weeks


Well, Havana has had a busy week, she's got her first tooth, started having cereal with applesauce for a dinner time treat and tonight she is asleep in her cot in her own room - I don't think I'm going to get much sleep but she is in dreamland!

We also got our tickets for Christmas this week... we'll be in England from December 21st until January 2nd and we're all SO excited. Havana thinks she might see Santa out the window of the plane exercising the reindeer for Christmas Eve! We're going to have a busy couple of weeks but we're looking forward to introducing Havi to everyone.

First tooth and sitting up!


Havana decided to be a little different and her first tooth to poke through is actually her upper right fang! Not one of her lower front teeth like most babies. Apparently her cousin Oliver did this too! Havi gave Colleen the pleasure of being part of her tooth breakthrough - luckily we had an expert handling it... who then had to show us the tooth as we couldn't find it!

The votes are in - we can safely say that Miss Havana is sitting :-)

Four Months, Two Weeks and One Day


Well, Grandma and Granddad had a great trip, we took them to the zoo and to lots of traditional Austin eating spots, as the weather is finally getting cooler she got to wear some of her pretty dresses to go out in. Havi got to stay up late and go on a boat to see the bats leaving the Congress bridge - and we got pooped on!

 

 

 

We haven't had anymore rice cereal since our last attempt as Havana just isn't really bothered and we're not convinced she needs it yet. She's now going 2.5 hours to 3 hours between feedings during the day, up from 2 hours. When she has a bottle with Daddy or Colleen she's having about 5oz per bottle.

I got her crib in her own room all ready for her to try out, but I'm nervous about putting her to sleep at night in there. She had a nap in there today and had her leg was sticking through the bars when she woke up... so I put the bumper pads on. We'll let her get used to having naps in there before we try her at night.


Today we booked our flights for Christmas... we'll be landing in Manchester at 8.30am on December 21st. SO EXCITED! Havana can't wait to meet everyone... plus she wants it to snow :-)
