January 15, 2019 - 4 month shots

Chloe had her shots today and once again the room was filled with crying boys but not CoCo! She cried when they stuck the needle in but then 5 seconds later she was fine and looking around like "that was nothing lady, let's do it again!" Marc says that she said "give me the biggest needle you got!" After the shot they weighed her and she peed everywhere (twice) and then puked up most of her oral vaccine, it was her way of saying "so long suckers" on our way out. Then Mom and Dad got ice-cream and ate it on her behalf since she did so well at her shots.
We set up her activity bouncer that I got at my baby shower and Chloe LOVES it. Her feet don't touch the ground too well, but she is able to bounce herself in it a bit and she smiles/giggles as she does it. The seat pivots in a full circle, right now we pivot her but eventually she'll be strong enough to pivot herself. 


When we give her a bottle she tries to push our hands out of the way and hold it herself now. She essentially pushes the bottle out of her own mouth because although she thinks she's strong enough to hold it, she isn't (but don't tell her that, she'll argue you on it). 



Chloe loves her activity gym. Her favourite character is Egor the Elephant. She has a killer left hook and when she punches him hard enough he plays music but she hasn't realized that she has to punch him really hard in order for the music to play. She loves pulling on his ear and spinning him around. He's super soft. Here are some pics of her laughing and playing with him.

Two Month Immunizations

Image
Chloe had her 2 month immunizations yesterday. I think I was more upset about it than she was. I was expecting a lot of screaming and thrashing. My husband didn't ask who would hold her, he took her as soon as we got into the room. Maybe he thought I would run out the door with her when the needle came out (the thought may have crossed my mind). I sat in the corner next to a potted plant wringing my hands while the nurse got things ready. Before injecting Chloe, the nurse told my husband and I that a side effect could be that she sleeps a lot for the next two days. I was broken out of my trance with Chloe's chubby little legs to exchange hopeful glances with my husband - that would be wonderful - crossed both of our minds. The injections were faster than I thought they would be, and although Chloe screamed, she didn't cry and was completely over it before we even got her redressed. The nurse asked me if she is generally a calm baby, and I responded "not when the sun g...

We went to church on Sunday and Chloe was fussier this time than last time. I didn't realize that there was a funeral service so the church was a lot busier than usual. I thought that I might have to take her out early because she was starting to scream but I rocked her and she fell asleep without disturbing the funeral service. The only one who did cause a disturbance that day was Princess Poodle (I've changed her name to maintain her anonymity). The first time I brought Chloe to church, the priest's wife came up to me to warn me about Princess Poodle. She's a dog who has an anxiety disorder and rips up the house if her owner leaves her alone, so Princess Poodle has to come to church every Sunday. The priest's wife told me that she is a nervous dog so she lashes out and to not approach her or let the baby near her. Princess Poodle sits on the seat next to her owner and everyone ignores her because apparently she's a biter, so they just give her space. It...

We think she's getting closer to rolling herself over back to front. She will never lay straight anymore, she always turns herself so that her feet go from the 6:00 position to the 12:00 position. Sometimes she'll make a full spin. We always find her sideways in her playpen and in her crib. Here's a picture of her sideways in the playpen, she's making her classic expression which Marc calls the "oh, hi ma!" face. Whenever she is being mischievous and I "catch" her doing it, I hold my hands out and say what are you doing? And she makes this face back. Chloe's signature puff of hair on the back of her head has started to curl over so Marc is happy because he thinks this is a sign she has curly hair like him. I'm not positive she has curly hair though because it might just be the weight of her puff causing it to droop/curl over. We called her Coco Puff before she was born and now we call her Puff or Puffy because of her signature hair puff. ...
