Week 17

Emily had been having a really good string of nights with 9+ hours of uninterrupted sleep. Then, I had to go and tell someone about it and that night she slept only 8 hours. EVERY time she starts a pattern and we mention something about it out loud she changes. So, the new rule is to never talk about good patterns.

We are starting to be able to get more giggles out of her. When she first started smiling, her smiles were few and far between. But now we are essentially able to get her to smile on demand. We are hoping to see the same sort of progression with her giggles. It is pretty darn cute when she laughs.

She has starting making crawling motions with her legs when she is on her stomach, but has yet to figure out how to support her upper body with her arms straight or how to roll. She has come REALLY close to rolling from her back to her tummy and I have given her just the slightest bit of help and she’s made it over a number of times. So, we’re hoping she is close to rolling on her own.
