Hands...baby hands

Morgan loves her hands. She now uses them as quite the little soothing devices and has gained even more control over them than she had at last post. Her movements towards objects are just that much more purposeful...to the naked eye (ie. not one of her parents) it might look like she's just flailing about but we know - we know that she's trying to reach for things here and there. Pretty neat...

Tummy time update - Mary, our sitter, is some sort of amazing. I haven't talked to her about this yet but she must be working some sort of magic with Morgan and tummy time. We try to get her on her tummy several times at night but we're not super parents and some nights it only happens once or not at all. Well, the other night before Adam got home from class, I put her on her tummy to find her head up so high without initially touching her face to the floor and it was great! She didn't immediately start fussing and she actually held her head up and studied the pattern on the burp cloth that was under her face. Today Adam put her down on her tummy and she sort of tucked her hands/arms under her chest to help hold herself up. It was amazing especially considering that less than 2 weeks ago she kept bouncing her face (softly) off the floor and almost instantly screaming her head off. Proud parents!!

Ok, I just got the cue that it's adult bedtime. Morgan only got up ONCE for feeding last night and 2x for nuk plugging. :) We had to wake her up at 6:15am for our normal morning routine and didn't have to get up an hour before hand to feed her. I'm hoping this behavior continues but not if it means she's coming down with something. When she had a cold about a month ago, she slept like this at night. I'm just going to go with the fact that she's older and maybe getting into a better nighttime routine. I'll let you know after we see what tonight brings. :) G'Night!!
