OMG! She just rolled over four times today! Oh my baby! I love her =) She's going to be running soon masha'Allah.
I miss her squeaks. Draven called her squeakums because of the cute little noises she used to make. She almost never used to cry but now she cries a lot. I think maybe I'm spoiling her. I can't stop picking her up! I want to be near her always.
The doctor has me doing a night-time routine with her where she goes to bed at a general time each night and I'm not allowed to feed her until morning. It was a rough first few nights...eight minutes of me just in the room not allowed to do anything but let her know I'm there...then I can touch her and soothe her but no feeding allowed. I try to give her more at her last feeding to get her through until morning. She's been sleeping through the night since the third night of crying but I think it's made her more whiney.
Last night we were out and that messed up her sleep schedule. She woke up when we got home at around 11 pm and wanted to play. Then she wanted to eat at around 1 am and let the whole world know it. I left the room and came back in a couple of minutes later to administer the technique. She was lying on our bed instead of her crib so I was able to lie next to her. I persisted to stare helplessly at the clock until the time was up...1:13 was at least 5 minutes long. When 1:14 finally arrived, she was so happy to get my attention! I hovered over her, kissing her cute little red face, wiping her tears away. She grabbed on to my arms and my face and my hair, hugging me in her own sweet little way. Then I lied next to her with my arm wrapped around her tiny waist. She turned her head and pressed her forehead into mine. It was as if touching me was not enough and she was trying to meld our foreheads together. She let out a little sigh of relief and fell asleep with her face buried in mine...Mommy the human pacifer =)
