4 Months Going On 13

I cannot believe how big Melita is getting. Where did my baby girl go? Seriously. As evidenced in the photo below, she wants to do everything herself. She won't let me hold her like a baby, she wants to always be perched over my should taking everything in or she wants to sit up. I am excited she is developing and learning but also sad that the time is going by so quickly.

We had a follow-up with the hip doctor this week. It was uneventful but, she has an ultrasound scheduled at the 6 month mark to make sure everything is growing correctly. Other than that, things around here have been pretty calm. We did successfully transition her from sleeping in her swing to sleeping in her crib. I was prepared for many sleepless nights while we consoled her in her new environment. But we were successful on the very first night! She went to bed around 7pm, woke up at 11pm for a feed and a diaper change, and was back asleep until 6am. The next night was even better because she slept 830pm - 630am straight! This kid is amazing. Even this morning, I heard her stir around 4am. She was talking and squealing. I knew she couldn't be hungry because Reagan fed her a whole bottle at 11pm. Sure enough, after about 30 minutes of playing she was back asleep until 630am. We are lucky.

Bethany, this one is for you. Bats in the cave in NBTX.

I can't believe she's doing so well with the bottle. Go little M!
