Good Sleeper

Tonight is the sixth night that Lilah has slept un-swaddled. We started swaddling her around six weeks old, and since then she has slept very well. Most nights sleeping all night. The weather has taken a change up here, and it has been quite warm. The house has been getting pretty hot, and Lilah's room has been in the mid to upper seventies when she goes to bed. So, we decided to leave her unswaddled and see how she does. I am very leery of change, especially if what you have going works, but she has surprised me and slept very well. Sleeping later into the morning than usual too! She is pretty funny with the positions she now prefers, most often on her side. We are headed to Arizona this weekend, and with the rumors of 100+ degree heat there, I knew it was time to change things up. I am so glad it is working!!!
Since last I wrote we have added carrots and cantaloupe and mango. She has also just started to try good ol' Cheerios too. She likes them, and over the last week has gotten very good at picking them up and putting them in her mouth. I was pretty scared in the beginning and would break them into fourths, which makes for a pretty tiny object to pick up, but she's an expert. She is very delicate and pinches it perfectly. They also make a whipped yogurt snack that is freeze dried and looks like a small hershey's kiss. They melt quickly in your mouth and taste pretty good. She likes those a lot too. What a good eater! She is really cute when she chews, really gets those jowls moving and sticks out her lips. So goofy.
She is happy happy nearly all the time, and has even started to laugh more easily. She loves watching me dance goofily around the room and thinks it's hilarious when I blow my nose, which has really reminded her how much she loves to spit. I try to say "no spitting" with a stern face if she does it while I am trying to feed her, but she just shoots me this coy smile and I have to smile back. Already knows how to work her mother. Of course, I think she knew how to do that from the beginning....
