Month three really allowed Emma's personality to come out and it showed with her interest in certain things. We of course still have our favorites, but Emma certainly has shown interest in many things.....one of which includes trying to watch the television....bright lights, music, etc....who wouldn't love it!
1. Wubbanub: Since day one this child loves to comfort suck. We have always had a pacifier on hand otherwise she would be attached to me 24/7. I love this little guy because she can grab onto him and feel the different textures on his body, look at the different colors and get the sucking motion that she desires. He also lies next to her so if the pacifier happens to fall out of her mouth its pretty easy for her to find her way back to it.
2. Avent Bottles: We got several of these guys for free when we registered for the baby shower. Since we switched over to a new antacid, it was really difficult to get her to take it, because she hated the taste. So what did I have to do? Pump breast milk and feed it to her mixed it. It actually helped me to establish a supply of breast milk for when my return to work happened and got her used to a bottle as well.
3. Sleep Pillow App: This free noise machine app has been a life saver for the past two months. Emma loves to fight her naps and sometimes we need white noise to push her over the edge into dreamland. Her favorite sound is the rainfall.....must take after mommy!
4. Coverall Pajamas: Since Emma hates having her arms swaddled we have been concerned with her getting chilled overnight with bare arms while she sleeps, especially with the night getting progressively cooler (YAY!) We wanted to make sure that she was comfortable and warm to ensure good sleep. We bought a couple new pairs in 3 months, 3-6 months and 6 months to get us through the fall. The fact that she looks so adorable in them is a bonus!
5. Wherever You Go My Love Will Find You and Goodnight Moon: We started a bedtime routine this month and it has worked out like a charm. Bath, read books and ready for bed by 8:30pm. This seems to be the best way to make her nod off into dream land. Does it work every night? No, but most nights it does. These two books are my favorite to read to her because of the content and great pictures.
6. Baby Einstein Ocean Exploration Play Pad: She LOVES this thing. Anything with bright colors and music is totally up her alley. I sing to her and she gets a big smile on her face. This thing gets her kicking her feet and bright eyed staring at it. Really great for development. Sorry Grandma....she bought Emma this toy to give to her for Christmas but because Emma loved it so much, we got to keep it.
7. Sophie the Giraffe: This is a new introduction, but were suspicious of teething and decided to give this a whirl. She loves staring at Sophie, but not necessarily using her for her intended purpose. She will attempt to reach, but hasn't quite gotten the hang of reaching and grabbing her just yet. It's very soon though.
8. "Part of Your World" This is her most favorite song. I put this on and I get big time smiles and her attempt to sing along is absolutely heartwarming. Again, anything with music makes this babies day. Daddy is super happy that this is her favorite song because he intends to take her on the Little Mermaid ride in December when we make our first trip to the Magic Kingdom.
