 ~ She still sleeps in our room in a rock n play sleeper.  Or, when we both fall asleep breastfeeding, with me in our bed.  As for the quality of her sleep, well, I'll just say we're working on it. 

 

~ She's rolling!  Back to front.  Trouble is she's not a fan of being on her belly and she's yet to learn to roll back over.  So, rolling over is followed by screams for help.  This is a picture of the first time she rolled....ever!

~ Like all 3 of her brothers, she's a thumb sucker.  I've always loved the fact my kids passed on pacifiers and went to their thumbs.  They can always find them and they help with sleep.  In fact, the boys only suck their thumbs when in bed.  Now, Ryan at age 4 still sucks his at bedtime, so I might be less enthusiastic about this when I'm paying big bucks for 4 mouthfuls of braces!  But isn't she cute with her little thumb in there?

~ She's a serious mamas girl.  And though a bit early, separation anxiety has reared its ugly head.

 

~ Like with the boys, supply issues caused breastfeeding to be slow to get going.  But from the get go she was a great feeder.  So good, in fact, I thought supply wasn't an issue.  But weight loss told us otherwise.  A few appointments with our lactation consultant and several weight checks later we were rolling strong.  And now...well, she eating and growing like a champ.

 

~ Though they sometimes overwhelm her, she loves her brothers.  In fact, their relationship is worthy of a post of its own (coming soon).

~ She has stunning blue eyes!

 ~ She is the most loved little girl in all the world!
