Whoozit!?  Who is the Whoozit?  The Whoozit is a must have for newborns to toddlers.  The one that we have specifically is the Tizoo plush Whoozit.  Peanut loves it and we carry it every where we go as the toy of choice.  It appeals to all your babies senses and is portable, washable and virtually indestructible.  I highly recommend this toy to parents.  Best of all it is inexpensive and there are several versions depending on what function you are looking for.  You need one like you need diapers.

So, our little peanut is 19wks old as of today.  Weighing in at a chunky monkey 14lbs has her in the 75th percentile for her age.  She is average in growth all around except for her noodle which is on the small side of the scale but we are not too worried about that.  We are seeing more and more gummy smiles every day and she is starting to discover her loud voice producing mostly squeals.  As new parents we are always excited for the next development but we also enjoy the quiet, immobile child and realize how good we have it.  However, the first roll-over is imminent and will spark the mobile stage.  We can’t wait!  

Such a big little person she is.  On the edge of so many developmental milestones such as rolling, sitting, laughing, talking in her own language.  No where near walking but she certainly likes doing squats.  She has a pretty good sleep/feed schedule for such a young age.  We are not sure if it is us, being good parents, or her being a good child.  The question now is “who is in charge?”  

She may only be 4 months old but she knows how to get her way when she wants to.  There is the “watch me play” cry and the “I want milk now” cry.  Then we have the “wrap me tight or my head will explode” cry.  My personal favorite is the big fat lip that shows up when she doesn’t get her way, followed by the meeehhh.  At the end of the day I think we have a good understanding of what is expected of each other.  Neither one of us is actually in charge, we just work together to find a happy balance. 

Most days are fairly predictable and pass without any great alteration.  And the changes are so small from day to day that we don’t realize how fast she is actually growing.  We are excited for her to roll but that means she is one step closer to being mobile.  Maybe I should start child proofing the house now.  More to come on how to effectively make your home safe for the little one.
