Amelia's milestones

So what all can Amelia do now?

-- She smiles a lot and laughs.

-- She rolls constantly from her back to front. She has not mastered the other direction, so she usually just screams to be rescued.

-- If you hold a toy out in front of her, she will reach for it.

-- She likes to stick things in her mouth, especially her hands.

-- She likes if you make funny noises with your mouth or sing to her.

-- She hates to be on her belly, but will lift up and attempt to scoot (the pre-crawl action).

-- She recognizes the kitties and will reach out to pet them (or just grab really).

-- She recognizes her bedtime routine, and goes to sleep well now!

-- She still wakes usually 2 times during the night. But she's going back to sleep pretty well.

Little girl is growing up! Some changes...

-- She used to scream almost every car trip. Now she can handle even longer trips with only minimal fussing. Yesterday, she even slept the whole way back from Cincinnati!

-- She used to sleep in just a light onesie, swaddled in the "miracle blanket".

Now, she sleeps in a sleep sack. She is not a fan of regular pajamas. No more swaddle!

-- She slept her first 2 months in her bouncy seat (in her crib), then 2 months in her car seat (in her crib) and now she's just in her crib!! Her reflux must have subsided just enough for her to be okay flat on her back. She scoots all over that thing and is never where we left her.
