When it’s good – it is VERY GOOD!!

Wow, I’m like a whole new woman.  Rylie has SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT 4 TIMES IN A ROW!!!  And yes, I am shouting. 

I guess it just took a little nudging from us to finally get her there.  She will occasionally peep in the night, but less than a minute and she is back to sleep…..ahhh.  Now, let’s be clear here, I know that no state of baby sleep is ever permanent.  In a matter of a few nights we could be right back where we were and agonizing once again over what to do to help her (and us!) sleep better.  But let’s just not think about that right now, let’s simply revel in our bliss of sleep and think not of the future.

In other baby news, we found out our peanut is still a wee little thing.  She weighed in at a whopping 15lbs 7oz at a week shy of 1 year old. In case you are wondering what “percentile” that is, it’s the nothing percent.  She doesn’t sit on that funny little chart, she makes a curve that is below and it has lost a bit of it’s gusto since she learned to crawl.  The doc was not negative per se about her weight, but instructed us to add some delectable yummies to her diet.  So now her veggies have butter and she gets peanut butter and avocado, etc.  Last night she was gobbling up toast with cream cheese – yum, yum, if I do say so myself.

We also got the green light on cow’s milk.  Woo hoo!!!  Milestone reached.  However, our first go-round led to some spitting of milk.  But I’m trying not to despair.  We’ll start mixing it into her bottles and see what happens.  When she’ll take it straight up then we’ll start dropping pumps and la, la, la, la I will have my day back.

All of this, while totally baby centered is ME centered as well.  She napped wonderfully yesterday, allowing me to get a nice bike ride in and led to a happy stress free baby day.  As I posted earlier, the bike ride was fabulous.  The weather here in Salt Lake has been a-mazing and I’m looking forward to more miles coming up.  I’ll keep ya posted.
