As the picture indicates, we are all smiles over here. It seems that we have either weathered the teething storm OR Reagan and I have finally got the hang of controlling it. I think it is a little bit of both. I did some reading yesterday and the best advice I found from seasoned parents was 'dose long and early.' Dosing being Tylenol. It worked. Melita got the sleep she needed and everyone else got some quiet time. Yay for Tylenol, yay for cooperative babies. Seriously, she sees the bottle of Tylenol now and nows the relief it will bring so she opens her mouth and swallows her entire dose in one go with no spit ups. This kid is amazing.

In other news, she is a pro at rolling over. When we put her in her crib at night she flops immediately onto her stomach where she stays for the night. A stomach sleeper just like her mother! She is also trying to crawl like a maniac too. It is too cute to watch her move her little legs trying to get some leverage to propel herself forward. She's got the concept down, I just don't think she can lift her chest high enough off the ground yet. She looks like a beached whale. Reagan seems to think she will be a full on crawling baby within the next few weeks. Sooner rather than later. I have to agree. It seems she mastered rolling over in about a week.

Watch out world, M-Rex is growing up!
