Congratulations! Your little one is now 38 weeks old. This week, your baby is getting better at predicting what comes next. For example, when she sits in her high chair, she likely expects a tasty treat—maybe bananas. If she’s greeted with broccoli instead, prepare for a comical facial expression that perfectly captures her displeasure. Trust us; those pictures will be priceless during her teenage years!
Growth and Development Milestones
As your baby starts solid foods, you might notice that diaper changes are becoming a bit more challenging. The poop situation can be quite the surprise—think of it as a gift from someone who has an odd sense of humor. Just a heads up: if you spot something resembling sand in her diaper, it could be from the oats she’s been munching on, which sometimes don’t digest fully. And please, do not let your baby experiment with real sand; that’s a definite no-go!
Physical, Social, and Cognitive Progress
Your little one is likely embracing her goofy side, especially if she has older siblings to imitate. From blowing kisses to waving goodbye, she’s learning how to engage socially. In terms of vision, she can now recognize familiar faces and objects from a distance. Additionally, the color of her eyes is likely set, so you can gently inform family members that it’s time to stop speculating about it.
