She Slept Eight Hours!

She finally did it! Kylie finally slept from 9-5 without waking up this past Thursday night!! I was so excited when she woke me up at 5. Since then she has gone until 5 without eating, but waking up a couple of times in between. I am able to just put her back to sleep though, so its not so bad. Hopefully she will start sleeping through and then sleeping later! I just gotta keep doing what I am doing. We went to a new schedule that seems to work better- she is now eating 7 ounces every 4 hours. I think that is what is helping her to sleep better because she gets more calories in during the day. Keep your fingers crossed that she will keep up with the sleeping! New pics will be up any day now.

Fun Noises

This is one of my favorite fall pictures of her. Her little drool is so cute! Just a little update... Still not sleeping thru. In fact its getting worse! She was up several times last night for some reason. I think her tummy may have been upset because we tried a little bit of rice cereal in her last bottle to see if she would sleep longer. No such luck. She was up at 1, 3 and finally 5 and I fed her at 5. She slept till 8. I was actually able to get her to go back to sleep at 1, and then around 3 I heard her fussing but I didn't go in and she put herself back to sleep.

So I had to go and mess a good thing up. I didn't realize how much better getting up once a night is! Now I want her to go back to getting up only once. On the plus side, her naps are much better and yesterday she actually took 2, 2-hour naps. That was nice. She didn't fuss at all when she went down either.

She is also starting to make these cute clucking noises with her tongue. She will smack her lips, and suck her top lip with her tongue and make little clucks with it. Its so cute! She is still rolling over maybe twice a day if we are lucky. But at least she is consistant with it.

Pictures

Okay, so I have posted a link directly to the pictures of her in my album at snapfish. Its under the link titled "pictures of kylie". I couldn't do it before, but suddenly now I can. There are just two albums of her right now- her hospital ones and her new ones, but hopefully I will get more up soon.

She slept longer than an hour!

Okay, so we have been trying to get her to take her naps in her crib. She always took them in the swing before now, so we wanted to get her off that. Well, it hasn't gone so well- when I started she would cry for like half an hour and I would just stand there with my hand on her while she cried until she finally fell asleep. I just can't put her down and let her cry and then walk away. Anyway, she has gotten a little better the past few days with that. But she only was sleeping an hour and sometimes she still seemed tired when she woke up. Well, today she slept for an hour and a half! I was able to take a nap myself. I think she would have slept for like 2 hours, if the little annoying neighbor kids didn't ring the doorbell and send Maverick into hysterics which in turn woke her up.

So its progress! Now we just gotta figure out how to get her to sleep through the night!

Cutie Pie

This was taken on Ocotber 15, 2005. Kylie is almost 14 weeks old! She is laughing, smiling and really starting to "talk". Her little Type "A" personality is starting to show through. She will protest when you leave the room, and make herself heard if you don't pay attention to her. She loves to talk while mommy and daddy are talking as well! She loves to play with her friend Mason who is 7 months old. This picture was actually taken at his house. She loves the little poo bear blanket she is holding on to. She will shove it in her mouth and chew on it forever. We think she may be teething because she is drooling all over the place, and trying to chew on everything in sight!

The other day she actually rolled over for the first time! I put her on her tummy and she just leaned over and rolled onto her back! She was very surprised she did it. She has done it only a few more times but she'll get the hang of it and I am sure she'll be rolling all over the place in no time!

When I get new pics up on Snapfish, I will let you know in a new post. If you don't revieve an email from me inviting you to see the pictures, send me an email.
