Milestones

With all the hustle and bustle, fussines, restlessness, and sleeplessness that have occured over the past 4 months of our life most days with my new daughter seem like a blur. We go to Dr appointments, church, and the occasional trip to the pharmacy but we don't tend to venture too far. I check off the things you can do and also where you should be like i think most moms do and you are for the most part hitting everything on track.

Yesterday was the first time we went out together than I wasn't all tensed up an nervous that you may have a major meltdown. I know we only went to BRU and Target but you were an angel and I feel much more confident now in being able to handle more fussy baby situations. I guess that would be my milestone.

With that said a few interesting things happened yesterday that I'd like to mention. First take a look at the second pic (pic is from this morning as I was alone when she did this with noone to take advantage of the first photo of her holding her bottle). Funny how she can hold a bottle after less than a week of bottle feeding. She's one smart cookie. Second and the thing I am most excited about is she slept in her own crib last night after cosleeping for almost four months (see first photo). I did a happy dance when this happened. I of course didn't sleep well because I don't have the breathable bumper installed on her crib yet and the monitor is portable, we don't usually use it in her room, so without the AC set up on it it went dead in the middle of the night. I woke up hearing it beep. It warns you when it's about to go dead. It's not like she's far away, I could hear her in her room but the monitor makes me have more peace of mind.

I can't believe what a difference the formula feeding has made in our lives. No matter what comes our way, Miss Gracie and I will make it thru together, just like we have up to this point . For now mommy is just trying to take it all in and enjoy it. It's going much faster then I ever imagines it would.
