3.75 months old

LOL--I had no other post title other than to put "updates," and I thought that was boring and I use it way to often.

So, anywho, rice cereal for STTN = big fat fail. She's still waking up once to eat. However, we decided that since she's not STTN anymore anyways, we might as well try to de-swaddle again to see if maybe that was inhibiting her STTN. It wasn't, but she is sleeping the same with her arms out of the swaddle, so that's great news. As long as she can get through more than 2-3 hours of sleep at a time with her arms out, I'm happy. She's been going about 5-6 hours when she's 1st put to bed (with the exception of last night when she was kinda fussy and kept waking up). She'll eat, zonk back out and sleep for about another 4-5 hours. All in all, she's getting about 10 hours of sleep a night. I wish it was more, but she seems to be doing well on it.

My decision to start with the de-swaddling had a lot to do with the fact that she started rolling! Gabriella rolled twice from her belly to her back on Wednesday with our daycare lady. I have yet to see it, b/c apparently its cool to keep those kinda things hostage from mom.

Also, she's getting super grabby (to the detriment of my hair). I was encoraging her a lot this weekend. Putting toys within her grasp and trying to make her reach out and grab stuff. She's not there quite yet, but she is definitely interested and I *think* she is doing the actual reaching, just not getting the "open hand and grab" part yet.

Gabriella has her 4 month check up on Thursday. I cannot believe my baby is almost 4 months old. She is almost completely out of her 3 month clothes. Actually, technically she has outgrown them, but I was still putting a few select things that I love on her. But, I definitely won't be able to do that anymore since fall really made her grand entrance overnight and its downright chilly here. She fits nicely into her 6 month Carter's stuff, and its definitely time for those adorable long sleeved onesies and hoodies. Today I had her in a long sleeved brown with white polka dot onesie, with a pink, blue and white cupcake, and pink cords. Oh the cuteness!
