She has managed to get on a pretty good routine, which makes us all happy! She gets up around 5:30 a.m. and I feed her and put her back to sleep until she wakes up Daddy around 8 or 9 a.m. He feeds her again around 10ish and they usually go out somewhere-he loves showing her off! By the time I get home from work, she is usually ab
out to finish her nap and eat. We spend the evening playing and trying to get some Tummy Time in ( she hates Tummy Time!). I start putting her down for the night around 8:30 p.m. and she's in the bassinet by 9:30. She has been sleeping through the night for the last three weeks.She and Daddy made up a new game yesterday that she seems to love. He holds her up on his lap and every time she kicks he makes a rocket sound and shoots her in the air. She gets the biggest smile on her face looking down at Daddy!
Last week she found her thumb for the first time. She was crying and stopped suddenly. When I looked down she was sucking hard on that little thumb. She hasn't gotten the concept of folding her other fingers though, so she usually ends up with a finger or two in her eye or nose, which just makes it more adorable.She hasn't mastered rolling over without Daddy's help, but does kick a lot during Tummy Time. Her head is strong, and barely bobbles anymore. We tried the Bumbo chair once, but she wasn't in a good mood, so it didn't go over well. We'll try again soon, I'm sure. We've added the toy bar to her bouncy chair, and she has grabbed the toys but isn't strong enough to pull them yet (when they are pulled, the bird in the middle spins, which scared her the first time, but makes her smile now). She is full of smiles, and is very good natured. We are having so much fun watching her grow, although I must admit I was a bit glum when already packing away clothes that she has outgrown! She's getting so big.

I felt the same way putting away newborn sizes!
did she at least get to wear them before you had to put them away?
don't worry too much about the tummy time thing!! Hunter HATED it (and barely did it), but now rolls like crazy and holds himself up with his very strong arms! I can't believe Gracie is getting so big!
Look at all that hair!!!
Erin, Def. a bittersweet moment, huh?
Carrie, she got to wear most of it, but there were things she didn't wear!
Meghan, THANKS!! That's really good to know!
Mandi, Everyone says that when they meet her-we think her first word will be HAIR!
Andrew screamed during tummy time, so much so Ronnie sometimes jumped down from his near permanent nap on the sofa to try and calm him by licking his face. Once, after that didn't work, and Andrew continued to cry, Ronnie looked helplessly at us, and barked once, as if to tell us to do something. He then jumped back onto the sofa, sighed, and put his head down.
As soon as Andrew figured out how to roll over, tummy time was fine, because he'd roll onto his back and look at us like he had won.
