Jessica has started attempting to grab at toys when we put them in front of her, then when she manages to grab something she will put it to her mouth or 'play' with it by pulling or squeezing it. She loves toys that make a crinkly sound!
Here she is looking very pleased with herself.

Her umbilical stump fell off today at 6 days old. Also last night was the first night she did her feedings without screaming and needing me to hold her for hours. So much nicer to wake, feed, and then sleep!
Over the weekend X learnt to play pat-a-cake, high five, pushed himself into all fours and finally started properly babbling. It's so nice hearing him actually say word like sounds, and so cute!!

My LO has turned into a little monkey. He has been trying to climb everything and just a couple of days ago he climbed an entire flight of stairs on his own (of course with me behind him). Climbing the stairs is now a daily activity.
In 3 days the pushed onto all fours has turned into getting onto all fours from sitting and rocking, so close to crawling now in just 3 days! I love wonder weeks!
We started getting our first smiles last week, and today I finally was able to get a picture of the end of her smiling and cooing at us!! I kept trying but I would bring out the camera and then she would stop... silly girl. She loves being talked to and smiled at, and she's starting to get good at it herself.
Picture taken at 3 weeks, 1 day (I only got the camera out in time to capture the end of her smile):
Lily has become a different little girl since her baby brother was born 2 weeks ago. Before I went into hospital she was my baby.. Now she is most definitely a toddler! She stayed with my sister for 3 nights while I was in having Connor (that in itself is a milestone.. She never stays away without screaming - she didn't bat an eyelid this time!).
Since we've been home she has started walking - properly like she's been doing it all her life.. Even walked to the park yesterday. Also silly little things - she used to cry in the night for her dummy to be replaced, but now she has a look for it herself first and only cries if she can't find it. I'm so proud of my clever girl.
