Stepping stones

Wynn rolled over today!! I had her on the floor

on her belly and went to grab the camera because

Orion was giving her sweet kisses. Yeah, he was

done by the time I got back, but as I was adjusting

the shutter speed (which takes minimal seconds),

she did it. So easy!! I rolled her back over but this

only made her mad and so tummy time was over.

We'll try again tomorrow.

I haven't written about her other milestones lately.

She has been smiling since about 5 weeks, the cutest

little smiles. At first they were all for daddy, but

quickly expanded to anyone and everyone. She then

started "gooing" at about 6 weeks. Way too cute!!

It's almost like she is telling a story. She coos and

goos in response to everything you say to her, then

she'll give a little smile. Her eyes are so bright! I

have tried to capture this on video, but as soon as

I stick that thing in her face and she can't see mine,

it's over. Soon, soon!

She started laughing out loud a few weeks ago,

cutest little sound ...ever! Well at least since the

first little laughs of all our other cutie babies. She

is so interested in everything, and seems to really

be able to focus on things. She gets frustrated

when she can't make her arms and hands reach

out and grab what she wants. The kid seriously

tries so hard to crawl when on her belly. She

moves tiny amounts, but I'm sure she'll catch on

quick and then we'll be in trouble!! We've never

really had to "baby proof" our house, but, I'm

sensing a very curious little girl, and wondering

if the time has come.

With all the kids we have started them out in our

bed to sleep. This has worked so well for us. They

all start sleeping through the night around 2 or so

months. The same went for Winter. Then we make

the transition into the crib, they have all done so

well including Wynn. Her bed time is 9 on the dot.

I try to have the others in bed by 8 or 8:30, then

I nurse Wynn and she is out for the night. Even if

she goes to bed first, it's always right about 9, then

she sleeps until just before 6, the other day she

even slept until 7:30. She "calls" me by "ah,ah,ahing"

a few times. She doesn't cry. Then I grab her and

bring her back to bed with me to nurse her and she

goes back to sleep until around 8:30. Love that girl,

heaven knows I need all the sleep I can get!!
