I’m not sure if I should be proud, worried, or scared (scared of how smart she appears to be). This morning she woke up around 530 after going to bed around 1030 last night (something she has been doing for about 2 weeks now) with a completely dry diaper. She eats a lot more between 6 and 1030 compared to the rest of the day and I feed her whenever she is hungry and I let her eat as much as she wants. Yesterday she stayed awake a lot more than usual too. Reasons why I think she is really smart is: 1, she hates tummy time but I stand her up and she takes a few steps with me obviously steadying her but she moves her own feet 2, you talk about certain topics like cars and tools and she obviously interested but talk about clothes and she quickly looses interest 3, she would rather sit up like a big girl and absorb the world (wide eyed and looking around) than to play with any toys. Back to the dry morning diaper. I have noticed lately that her other morning diapers aren’t nearly as wet as you’d expect but there was at least some wetness. She has plenty of dirty during the day as well. I always knew she was unique, but I’m almost scared at how smart/how fast she wants to be a big girl

My two cents is definitely start counting the diapers.. the app BabyNursing is a good one to document diapers. Tummy time is definitely important and holding her upright doesn’t take the place of that. And she’s kind of too little to love toys yet... I’m sure she’ll show more interest as she developed the hand eye coordination to be able to hold them and bring them to her mouth, etc. I saw you commented about a bouncer and I really encourage you to talk to her pedi about that. It’s crucial she doesn’t hurt her little spine and hips, and she’s WAY too young for that. Try something like a mamaroo that you can adjust so she’s leaning back flat but still at an angle to be able to see the room!

@ladyblauvelt.skysmomma, same here. The last 2 weeks, she has made impressive improvements. She pretty much decided she was going to sleep through the night and hold her head straight up when being held. It’s almost like she decided she wanted to be a big girl and no one was going to stop her

@emilyinsd my son was good with his neck muscles too as soon as he was born but still needed a lot of practice to control his head well.

@ladyblauvelt.skysmomma, that’s good to know. She started lifting her head just a few hours after she was born and (for just being born) held it for a long time (it felt like at least 30 seconds but I could be very wrong).

@emilyinsd she still needs to lift her head to look around either way

@ladyblauvelt.skysmomma, she does love laying on our chest but we didn’t think that counted because the angle changes which muscles she uses

@emilyinsd yeah she will definitely need better neck support first, we didn't get a door bouncy until my son was at least 8 months old when he could support himself better, I'd definitely keep working with her with tummy time if you can because it will help a lot. If she doesn't like to be on the floor doing it, you can lay her on your knees or chest too

@ladyblauvelt.skysmomma, that’s impressive. If she could stabilize her head better, we would be looking into the bouncers that you put in doorways just so she could bounce herself. But she definitely doesn’t have enough neck muscles for my comfort to put her in one

@emilyinsd lol yeah my son always tried jumping too so I'd just hold him up and let him kick off my lap and he used to have a big smile and laugh as he got older and never wanted to stop. By the time he was 6 months old he was pulling himself up on things

@ladyblauvelt.skysmomma, she loves to bounce. I discovered it when she was about 2 weeks old. Sometimes it’s the only way I can calm her down. My arms get tired though from holding her like that and bouncing her. At this rate I’ll be completely ripped in the arms with a flabby stomach lol.

My son used to love standing up like that too on my lap and I'd let him but he still didn't start walking until he was 14 or 15 months old, he just had strong legs and he always wanted to bounce too

@emilyinsd, I’d try babywearing. Keeps her in the correct spine and leg position and she gets to be upright.

@emilyinsd, we used to have to monitor diapers for my preemie. They said if they didn’t “plop” when you drop it, it didn’t count. My husband would just leave the diaper next to the table for me to inspect 😂 I hung a bag at the changing table for the day and monitored that way.

@pumpernickel, I am concerned about the dry diaper. I may not count diapers (I would need a white board over her changing table otherwise I’d loose count) but I feel like I’m changing plenty in a day. Would you count a less than full diaper as one?
