Rose lately...

1. Rose is a great sleeper.  Has had 3 nights now where she has made it to 4:30 without waking up at all.  No num num plugging, no random unexplained wakeups.  And she doesn't cry in the night.  I hear her breathing heaviner and moving around, and when I go in she is often even smiling. What? She can even sleep in her crib for naps.  I put her in the crib and sometimes have to go in a few times to give her the soother, but she will sleep in her crib quite happily for short or long naps. 

2.  Rose just had a huge growth spurt.  I noticed that her feet are totally squished in her sleepers, and the other day she got upset and quickly stretched out her legs which resulted in the buttons popping around the bum.  I'll hang on to these newborn sleepers for dear life though until they are completely too small.  I don't want to pack them away.  At the cottage we measured her on the 11th.  She is now around 3/4 of an inch taller. I have taken out most of her 3 month clothes, as a lot of the onesies she had from Paige are super short and wide (were like this on Paige too). 

3. Tons of smiles all around.  In addition to the night time smiles, she is quite smiley during the day.  She gives lots of open mouthed smiles and little coos.  Can't wait till we get some laughs. 

4.  She loves her bouncy chair.  LOVES.  Sometimes she will get irritated when someone is holding her, and only wants the bouncy chair.  A perfect contraption to put her in while I am showering, etc. During dinner time, it's the swing. Loves the swing too, and it puts her right to sleep for a small nap. 

5.  She is a delightful baby in general.  She is so easy to read, and as a result is generally happy.  So glad to have the easier baby second since I am so greatful and definitely don't take it for granted!  I love spending time with her especially when I get little smiles in return!  :)
