Isabella has always had a thing for shoving her fists in to her mouth, this is nothing new. She has also always been a gooey baby, not a sick baby but one who is always soggy due to the amount that she dribbles.
However just recently she has been chomping down on things, everything goes in to her mouth and any attempts with a sippy cup are hampered by the fact that Iz likes to rub the spout along her gums rather than actually suck anything out of the cup!
I am constantly amazed by the new things that she is able to do, she is now 16 weeks old and will hold her own bottle, OK so this does need some work as she will put the bottle in her mouth and then remove it, becoming confused as to why it is no longer in her mouth she will try to rectify the situation but is inclined to miss and has ended up with the bottle hitting her cheeks, nose and narrowly avoiding her eye! She likes tummy time now and will tolerate quite a lot of it, it seems that perseverance is key here, Izzy will roll from her back to either side and has rolled from her front to her back twice in 2 weeks which although isn't a lot is better than not doing it at all! She is also sitting up without much support now and when given a spoon to play with will very nicely put it in to her mouth (the bowl bit not the handle). All this makes me think that she may be ready to think about weaning soon...however these can be signs of teething and can also be signs of just being a baby.
I sort of wish that there was a rule book for this bit!
