Growing Quickly

Madison is growing so quickly.  In the past two weeks she has really started moving her arms more, and as of this week starting to grab at things a little more deliberately.

 She has also started on rice cereal and loving it.  It is the messiest moment of every day, but she is really getting used to eating with a spoon.  We are giving her 2 tablespoons every evening about an hour after she nurses at 6.


MMMMMMM


She does not like it when all of the bites are gone.

It is so much fun to watch her try new things.  You can see her processing all of the new knowledge and know that she is trying so hard to figure it all out.

This weekend we decided it was time to move her into her nursery for good.  I've wondered in the past four months when I would be ready to make this move, because I just could not get myself comfortable with it.  I really like having her close by and to be able to just look at her whenever I want to make sure she is okay.  This makes me laugh because before she was born I thought I would have no problem with it and didn't see what the big deal was. 

But this past weekend it just felt like it was the right time for me and her.  She is doing great.  Friday and Saturday night she did wonderful sleeping through the night, but Sunday and Monday night was a different story.  She woke up around midnight, 3:30, and 6 both nights only to nurse and go right back to sleep.  Last night I nursed at her midnight awakening since it had been about 4 hours, but at her 3:30 awakening i just picked her up, gave her a passy and rocked for 3 minutes and she was back out.  Hopefully we can wean away from the waking up.


1st night in her room.
