Wonder Week 19 *and* Teething

Growing up is hard to do.
The first year is full of so much.
So many new things to learn.
All Mamas and Daddies can do is try to make it more comfortable.

 Wonder Week 19 is a big one:
Week 19 - world of events> Ability to understand the world around them becoming more developed
> Will experiment with events - ie, now understands that they can reach for a toy, grab it, shake it, turn it around and put it in their mouth
> Vocalisations becoming more complex
> Beginning to understand object permanence, objects continue to exist even though we can’t see them
> Trying to roll

 So much chomping and finger/thumb-sucking is going on.

 She's been rolling for a while now - front to back happens once in a while, and she is a master at back to front (trying to get as close to Mama as possible!).

 It's hard to see your child miserable. And it's so sweet to see your 4-month-old trying to be happy when she's feeling so grumpy.

We'll be having lots of extra snuggles for the next while.
Soon this Wonder Week will just be a memory...
