3 month Birthday

Scout celebrated her 3-month birthday (last Saturday) with birthday cake, a few stouts and some Frangelico. Oh wait, no, that was me. Scout turned it on by rolling from her tummy to her back (complete with head thump on the rug). She did it twice that day, and hasn’t done it since. Not that she doesn’t try. She does some mini-pushups first, then lifts her back leg (a bit like a dog cocking it’s leg, ahem) then lets out the Battle Cry (last week it was “OI, OI, OOOOIIIIIIIII”). But alas, no further fruit on the rolling front and my little angel gets a wee bit frustrated.

She is now 6kgs, and above the 50th percentile for weight (i.e. about half the kids out there are heavier than her, so there must be some enormous little chubbas out there) and is 59 cms long, most of it leg (and belly). She takes after her mum (poor mite) – long legs and a stumpy torso.

Her head is also getting a little misshapen by her only wanting to put her head to the right side while sleeping. The other night we elevated her mattress on one side, hoping that she would face to turn left, but she only succeeded in falling down the mattress and hitting her head on the cradle bars (head still to the right!) so we just hope her head rights itself when she starts crawling. Which, judging by the strength of her legs, won’t be too far away…

Oh yes, I know, in her own time, in her own time.
