Our little girl is changing and growing day by day. The
biggest update is Ms. Ella is now officially sleeping through the night: 7
p.m. – 7 a.m. give or take 30 min. in either direction. She goes down very
easily - we lay her down awake after her bath and last feeding and she drifts
off to sleep. She occasionally wakes up for some reason and wants to suck on
her paci so we have to go in and pop it back in. But the other night she found
her thumb and I heard her sucking away on the monitor around 10 p.m. – it was
so sweet.
She is now playing with her toys and trying hard to
rollover. I have a very cute video of her attempts below. She cracks me up. She
is still making amazing eye contact and smiles big for everyone who gives her
attention. She is talking a lot more too, especially when I read to her. I
think she wants to join in on the conversation.
We are still trying to figure out her nap schedule. She used
to simply fall asleep whenever she needed a rest but now the world is so much
more exciting and she needs some help settling down. I really have to be
careful not to let too much time go by without a rest because then she gets
overtired and then it's REALLY hard to get her down. We are now on a routine of
trying to get her to rest every 2 hours, with one longer morning and
mid-afternoon nap. She HATES leaving the action behind for her quiet room but
she is getting used to it.
That’s what is happening in Ella’s little world!
