Baptism
I am proud to announce my little Christian baby :) A decision on choosing god parents were not easy, but we choose my sister in law and her DH. She was so thrilled to be a god mother, so I hope they can help Haley in her christian faith. The baptism went really well and she did amazing. I was stressed out about it because so many things went wrong....the baptism time changed due to the church festival, a cater showed up with his food a week before the party, etc, but many people showed up for her and I say the ceremony and the party was success!!
We signed up for a music & gymboree classes!! It's so nice to find a class where we can do it together. The music class is a lot of fun and I can already sing some of their songs! I try to play the music CD while we are in the car, so I am wondering if H recognizes some by now. There are so many different gymboree classes offered, but unfortunately, the one for babies is offered during weekday and I am at work, so we have been taking a family one which consists of all age range. I met some moms there, but the class size is too big and not really suitable for a baby, so I hope she can get into another class with babies with similar age.
Mom's Club
I attended one of their ice cream socials! The event actually had a decent turn out of 9-10 moms and tons of babies/kids. Moms were pretty friendly and it was a first time for some moms, so I wasn't the only new one. It's really nice to have a community like that because we all need support, right? I really enjoyed talking to moms who had a baby similar to H's age because we could relate so many things. I found this group from meetup.com. The internet does make things so much more efficient and I don't know how our moms/grandma made mama friends back in old time!!!
New Toys
H is 4 months and we could tell she is getting bored with her swing & bouncer, so we purchased new toys! Excersaucer & Sophia the Girraffe Teether. The daycare teachers say H loves excersaucer. I think she is in the beginning of her teething phase because she is dwelling and sucking her fingers a lot. I've read great review about the Giraffe and some mama said it was one of the best purchases they have made, so we got it.
I was reading about this prior, so I was not surprised when Haley stopped SSTN. I was hoping that she is such a good girl and wouldn't go through this period, but noooope, she is going through it now. Around 3 months old, she started SSTN from 9:30ish till 5. It was awesome. I still had to get up to pump around 4, but I was pretty happy she was a good sleeper. Then, she stopped SSTN when she turned 4 months (that's why it's called 4 months wakeful period) and it's still going on for 2 weeks...She would wake up at 2am and then 2 or 3 hours afterwords. She would usually go right back to sleep after she is fed, but it was nice for me to have a long stretch of sleep. I am dreaming about being able to sleep for 7 hours straight (maybe after I am done with pumping & her SSTN is back) now, but I am pretty sure I will miss our night time feeding session once it's over because it's so peaceful to hold sleepy Haley in my arm.
