We have been heading into an eventful period of time with Juna’s to start with Christmas and her first vaccinations ahead of us, so we had been prepared for something.

Merry Christmas!
The fussy period of this leap struck just in time for Xmas, and as icing on the cake, Juna’s to start with vaccinations had been scheduled in this week! Luckily the jabs ran pretty easily, so we managed to bounce that hurdle, and she also appeared to be dealing with the leap without having too a lot difficulty. However, we did observe she’d grow to be quieter. Since leap 2, she’d learned to smile and she was bit by bit starting to babble, despite the fact that in this period, we observed a handful of challenging and sorry-looking expressions and babbling was no for a longer period to be read.

While feeding, Juna was trying to find additional get hold of. She would stroke your chin with her hand, and every single time her hand went off to do its very own thing, it’d come across its way back again to your chin once again.
By this position, we now knew Juna was keen on sucking her thumb. In the course of the being pregnant, she often had just one hand by her mouth on the ultrasounds and despite the fact that this hand was reunited with the mouth shortly soon after the start, she would also settle for dummies. However, for the duration of the fussy period of leap 3, she routinely spat her dummy out and went again to sucking her thumb. Infant thumbs are small, in particular when you are so little yourself, so very shortly other fingers and even a whole fist would discover its way into her mouth.
Non-prevent smiling and chatting
Following she passed via this fussy period, I plainly observed that Juna could do a good deal extra than just before. She was all of a sudden quite intrigued in my hands and studied them intensely.
Although she wasn’t keen on in the playpen beforehand, she now had tons of pleasurable in there. With her musical mobile switched on and her dangling toys earlier mentioned her, she would grab them and chat to them all working day.
For me, the major transform was the chatting. She is encouraged by compliments and you see her creating an hard work to make distinct appears. Sometimes she lets out a small scream and scares herself, while other moments her mouth opens wide and she attempts to drive air out of it. She smiles all working day long when you communicate to her.
She also seems to have arrived at the phase exactly where all the things goes in her mouth, and this in combination with the waterfalls of dribble resulted in permanently wet tops. Time for a bib!
Following this leap, lying down quietly became a detail of the earlier, as Juna constantly kicks and squirms. And my word, those people small legs seriously pack a punch! Juna is also showing a preference for sitting down up, as when I offer my fingers and say ‘one, two, …’, she braces herself and pulls my fingers towards her. With my assistance, she can sit up and genuinely enjoys getting upright!
Leap 3 is over
Soon after the restlessness of leap 2, leap 3 was a walk in the park. The capabilities Juna has learned are so beautiful.
She learns so promptly and picks up a new skill each individual working day, which is so wonderful to see. Each individual night when I choose her to bed, I can not wait to see what new tips she will complete tomorrow.
She’s building so rapidly and it’s an vital reminder that they are only this smaller for a very shorter time. So enjoy it to the fullest while you can!
No baby is the same and no leaps are the identical. Encounter and observe your baby and listen to your intestine. ♥️
Annique, mom of Juna
