Every Little Thing

Four months old!  May 14, 2014

We had a great long weekend in Penticton.  Lennon was really good for the long car ride.  She slept the majority of the time.  We did have to make three stops to feed her.  All in all the trip took about 2.5 hours longer than usual.  It was a long day. 

The weather was nice, hovering around 20, and we didn't get rain so that made for a perfect getaway.  Grandma and Paga L. were also there so they provided babysitting services while Fred and I got out wine touring with our friends who were with us for the weekend.  We had a great time.  It was nice for us to get out!  Lennon was well behaved for the grandparents too!

The drive home turned out to be even longer because there was a mudslide on the trans-Canada that held us up for an hour and a half.  But, again, Lennon was great!

Lennon continues to change daily.  Today she rolled over from her tummy to her back on her own!  I was so excited!  I had just finished sending Fred a video (see below) of her trying to get from her back to her tummy, she's almost there, and helped her over to her tummy.  She laid there for a moment and then started wiggling and all of a sudden turned right over!  Of course she hasn't done it again yet.  It'll happen and then it will happen all the time.  Soon I will have a baby on the move.  Every new thing she does is so exciting!

Did I mention that we now have our nursery furniture...finally.  Well, we do!  We still have to assemble the crib and then hang some things on the walls.  But, it's getting close!  We did put up a decal which looks really good.  It'll be great once the whole room is together.  Once we have the crib up I'm going to start putting Lennon in there for her naps and start the transition to putting her in the crib at night.  I may miss the convenience of having her next to the bed for middle of the night feedings but we'll see how it goes.

That leads me to sleep...a favourite topic.  As I had talked about in previous posts, Lennon had been sleeping 7-8 hours.  Well, in the last few weeks she's decided she needs to get up at 2 or 3 am again.  After that wake up she starts trying to wake up every hour or so.  I've been able to get her to go to back to sleep sometimes without a feeding.  Hopefully she'll start being able to soothe her self back to sleep soon.  So, needless to say, I'm a little tired again.  Especially after having, and getting used to, those days when she was sleeping better!
