She roll!

Yep Mae rolled over for the first time today! I don't know who was more surprised, me or her hehe. We are enjoying her so much. She is 16 weeks now and very happy baby. Just this week she found her voice and has been squealing and laughing a lot. It's quite cute! For more cute pictures follow me on Instagram @emeraldflare.

The nurse at the clinic said she's heavy (6.8 kg) for her length (60 cm) and suggest I give her some water instead of breast milk. I checked with my doctor and she said not to worry about it, she's a healthy baby. I'm still exclusively breastfeeding her and hope to do so for another two months. It was tough in the beginning (problem latching, engorgement, the lot) but I'm so glad to have persisted. Now I'm really enjoying it, such a special time between us.

We're getting used to putting her hearing aids in most of her waking hours. I've checked out the Shepherd Centre and was quite impressed with their staff and facility. It's such a blessing we live in a first world country where all of these services are available to us. Looking forward to starting her early intervention program this year and meeting other parents in the same situation.

She is sleeping average 11 hrs a night which is great. The only downside is she doesn't nap well during the day. She have 3-4 naps of around 30-60 min. We're still training her to self settle although I'm starting to think we'll never win this battle...
