You are such a big girl! It has been another busy month, and I can't believe how much you have learned! The beginning of this month was a little rough with a couple of weeks of sleep regression. Joe and I tried not to pull our hair out, and reminded ourselves how lucky we had been for the previous 4 months. Luckily, it seemed to be a phase, and you are through it. You even seem to be napping a little better lately. On the weekends, you nap in your crib, and this past weekend you even put your self to sleep. I put you down sleepy buy awake, and you talked to yourself and fussed a little, then were asleep 15 minutes later. It was great! We are preparing to move you into your own room in about a month, after all our November visitors have come and gone. I think I might miss you sleeping next to me in your pack and play.
Also this month, you had your first Halloween. You dressed as a pumpkin, and had a parade at school which was hilarious. You were strapped into the front row of a six seater buggy, and you laughed your way through the one block parade lined with adoring parents. That night, we hit the neighborhood and walked around with some of your big kid friends for their first Trick or Treat, and also hung out at our block party. You slept through most of it, but were a trooper, particularly because it was raining!
The biggest news this month, is that you finally learned to roll over. We have been trying to give you lots of chances, but you hated being on your tummy so much, that we usually couldn't bear your screaming, and we helped you flip over. But then one evening (Nov. 2), I put you in your crib while I was running your bath, and I put you in on your tummy. When I returned, you were on your back smiling away! I made you do it three more times, so you would remember how to show Daddy, which you did first thing the next morning. Now there is no stopping you, you roll all over the place, reaching for toys and to look around at the people in the room.
This month will be so fun. We have Aunt Beth, Uncle AJ, Cousin Margaret, Aunt Mary, Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grandpa, Aunt Jen, Cousin Liam and Cousin Tucker coming to visit over the next few weekends. We also plan to try cereal, as we haven't had the time to try it yet! Can't wait to keep experiencing new things with you baby girl!
