Brittany's Blog: Changes!

I feel like my baby is changing every single day!!

Elizabeth is still a great sleeper. She sleeps through the night, we usually put her to bed anywhere from 9:30pm -11:00pm and she sleeps until 7:00am-7:30am! Most of the time she sleeps all night without waking up, but occasionally she will wake up around 4:30 to eat, and fall right back to sleep. When we put her to bed, we usually just lay her down in her bed and she will look at the mobile and fall asleep on her own. We are so fortunate to have such a great sleeper! Elizabeth also LOVES her naps during the day, she still only stays up for about 2 hours at a time. She is sleeping as I type this, and has been for 2.5 hours!

The play mat is a huge hit! Unless she is hungry or needs a diaper change, Elizabeth is content just hanging out with her toys. She has started to "play" more - by that I mean hitting her toys and kicking her legs. The other day I looked down and she had rolled over on her side! The mirror is also a huge hit!

We have finally started to see real smiles! Since just yesterday, Elizabeth smiles every time David makes animal noises. I was able to catch one on my phone, it's a little dark, but I will keep trying to get more!

David's parents were in town for the last two weeks, we had a great time and did a lot! Elizabeth had her first boat trip and her first trip into the city. She did really well considering she had to eat and get diaper changes in random places. I had to change her diaper on two slanted chairs as the boat was going down the Hudson, on a bench in Central Park, and she ate in the lobby of a Marriott hotel, along with the gym of another Marriott. (Long story short we were on the meeting level of the hotel to find a bathroom and one of the employees let us in the health club to use the bathroom there, and since no one was in the gym, I decided to make use out of the weight bench and feed her;))
