Proof:
1. Now some of you know this already, but since birth, Riley has absolutely loved to be swaddled. In fact she couldn't go to sleep without it. She'd be all fussy, we'd swaddle her, and BOOM! Instant relaxation. Crazy! However, just recently Riley's become increasingly adept at using her hands, thus her need to have them free. The solution? The graduation to the half-swaddle! This solution has been a huge success. Riley sleeps really well (yay us!) and also has access to her hands (yay Riley!). Alas, soon there will be no swaddle at all, and we'll reminisce about the days when our little one would instantly calm down at being bound up like a mummy.
2. There once was a time, not so long ago, when Riley had no control over her neck mucles. Now, as you've seen in previous videos, she has mastered the art of holding up her head. Next up is sitting, and we've been working on it. Riley can sit up with assistance, whether it be one of Cam or I, or an outside support, like a chair, which makes her look so small!
3. So let's see. Riley is now 11 weeks, 4 days old. At birth, she weighed exactly 8 lbs, 13 oz. Now she weighs a whopping 12 lbs, 3 oz. (The number in the scale is misleading because she was wearing an outfit and an (apparently) very wet diaper.) That's a gain of 3 lbs, 6 oz in less than 3 months. The pediatrician said that they like it when babies are putting on at least 1 lb a month. Yep, Riley's doing that!
Man, time sure does fly by when you're having fun... and Riley's the most fun, so you can imagine just how quickly everything is happening. Riley is growing up so fast.
