MILESTONES:

{Sleeping} Sleeping great from 7:30-6:00 with the occasional 4-5 o’clock wake up. She is also officially un-swaddled! I was really worried it may have taken a bit of getting used to, but she did GREAT the first night! She loves to sleep on her side with her hands up near her face.

Napping is still a work in progress at home. She is a GREAT napper….just prefers to be on mommy or daddy and not in her bed. This may be my fault. I just love the cuddles and want to get as much of them as I can.

{Movement} We’ve come SO far in just the last month. Grabbing and reaching for objects and faces. We also rolled over front to back and back to front just this last week! She absolutely LOVES standing up and jumping up and down (which I think has a little bit to do with her jumperoo).

{Eating} Still eating about the same. 6 ounces every 3 hours, with a couple ounces of fruit/veggie and rice cereal in the morning and at night! Our favorites so far have been sweet potato, pear, and apple. Looking forward to trying some new flavors….peas, green beans, peaches, and papaya!

{Teething} We have a tooth! The bottom left has come in….now just waiting on the other. Still drooling like crazy and wearing a bib 24/7.

{Talking} She loves to sing and talk to herself, especially in her crib right before she falls asleep. She has also started laughing a TON when we play peekaboo. Cutest. Sound. Ever. I could never get tired of it.
