All about the fingers

this gal loves some fingers

I try to get Eden to smile for the camera, an already tricky proposition, and her fingers go straight for the mouth. She is getting increasingly more drooly (if that is a word) and is loving gumming and sucking on fingers. Her ability and desire to grab everything is increasing. Whatever she gets a hold of usually goes towards her mouth. She is super fun to watch grow up. Overall, she tends to be pretty content. Long ago she lost her ability to sleep through the night and has been waking up once or twice typically. However, she naps a little longer and falls asleep a little easier too.

She likes to hold a foot while I change her. So helpful :)

 Eden also mastered rolling from her back to her stomach this week as well. It's a whole new game for me. I am excited to see her master these milestones but I can't just set her down and go get something done as easily now.

Last night I moved her out of her little special bed in our room into the crib in her room. She handled it much better than me, I was a mess of emotions and anxiety. She woke up twice and went back to sleep easily once fed. She did seem a little scared this morning because she is used to waking up in our room. I know in the long run we will all sleep better. All these changes are hard though. She also is busting out of her swaddle more and with rolling over, it's probably a good idea to transition out of that too. But I am dealing with one thing at a time!

 In final, working one day a week has been so nice. It's just enough to feel useful and helpful but without feeling like I am missing so much precious time with Eden. Our childcare has been very tricky but hopefully mid-September we will have it mostly sorted out.

Someone is taking a long nap! But I hear her stirring now.

Just being cute.

Love.

And this seems like yesterday...
