She Said Momma, I Swear!

Even Andy agrees.  She only does it when she is crying though, so it could just be a crying sound she makes, but it could easily be her calling out for me.  She has me nearly convinced.  Her first word was 'Momma'. :)

A New Perspective

Tiegan gained a new perspective of the world this week as she showed us that she is able to sit up on her own (for a small amount of time).  I am looking forward to her gaining strength and being able to sit and play on her own.  She has never seemed happy to be lying down and playing, so hopefully she will be more content now.

Peaceful Rest

I wish.  We have been struggling with getting Tiegan to sleep well through the night.  At about 3 months old she was a great nighttime sleeper.  Had to rock her to get her to sleep, but then I would feed her at 10-ish and she would be out for up to 7 more hours.  It was wonderful and now it is gone.

Tiegan now cries to be fed before 10:00, then gets up several times to be comforted after her 10:00 feeding, only to wake up 4 or 5 hours later to eat again.  Then she wakes up before she should in the morning.  Of course we bring her into bed with us then cause we are exhausted.  It's a vicious cycle.  I hope she will soon go back to her long sleep habits, but I'm guessing we are all going to have to work on it.

This is one of the toughest parts of parenting an infant.  I look forward to someday being able to sleep in.  I'm guessing it will be several years.  Sure their worth it, but it's still tough.

Bananas

Finally, solid food!  Tiegan got her first taste of 'real food' today.  Just as we did with the twins, we bucked the system and didn't go with the traditional rice cereal for her first food.  Tiegan got to try bananas.  She wasn't quite sure of it, but appeared to like them.

It's just the beginning kiddo.  Lot's of exciting new food adventures to come!

Peek-a-boo

After many attempts over the past couple of months to entertain Tiegan with peek-a-boo, she has finally succumbed to the pressure.  She now startles, then giggles and smiles when Andy plays this with her.  As always, very cute.

Rollover

Tiegan rolled over for the first time today - from her back to her front.  I knew in the morning that today would be the today.  I just had a feeling.  Maybe it was the fact that I had to work today and figured it would happen on a day I was gone.  No worries though.  She rolled over for Nana and Bapa and that's just fine.  I look forward to seeing it for myself someday soon.

Giggles

I got my first giggles from Tiegan tonight.  After changing her diaper before bed she was especially chatty. We were talking back and forth and she started laughing.  She responded with a lot more laughs when I would laugh back at her.  Very cute.
