Cuteness and Concern

Eliza continues to be the adorable baby we know and love.

Unfortunately, she's had a few problems lately. She's now fighting bedtime. This is new within the past few days. She cries when we swaddle her and put her down for a good 10-15 minutes. Last night we had to pick her back up and feed her a bit after she refused to settle down.

On top of this, she spent most of last week playing with her ears. She also stopped babbling and cooing. Her hearing is just fine and she's reacting normally to noises. Her cooing has been replaced by an occasional whisper. My sister had been whispering to her when she was change her clothes/diaper. I hope she's just mocking Cheryl. Just the week before she had been cooing so much she was almost annoying. We're quite concerned and looking forward to her doctor's appointment tomorrow.

She's still loving her Exersaucer, though. She's also finally proactive when it comes to grabbing and playing with toys. Of course, everything is a potential sucking and gumming target. She reached out and grabbed the gyroscope on her swing for the first time this morning. She also loves Yo Gabba Gabba more and more. She reacts with such a cute laugh and smile as soon as she sees the opening credits. I could have asked for a better show for her.

Eliza also learned to make a razzing sound last week. She was even repeating it over and over when I would do it. That's a relief. With the cessation of cooing, I'm glad she's attempting other milestones. Otherwise, I'd be hysterically worried at the moment.
