The last week, Meghan has made several huge leaps...
Friday April 25th - no longer using cross-over snap on diapers - They are snapped on the smallest size now without crossing over.
Saturday April 26th - switched bottle nipples to 3-6 month size - She was so bored while eating she just wouldn't finish. We increased the nipple speed and she's been a much better eater!
Sunday April 27th - switched pacifier to 6-12 month size - She was having a hard time holding them in and was making a lot of noise while sucking. She still makes a lot of noise while sucking, but has a much easier time holding the pacifier in her mouth.
Sunday April 27th - started sleeping in the crib instead of the swing - The first few days were difficult, but she has gotten used to sleeping in her crib and is doing great!
Friday May 2nd - switched to a 4 hour schedule - This is expected of a baby several months older than her. She will not eat more often than every four hours throughout the day. She is now taking 5-6.5 ounces per feeding during the day - at 6 am, 10 am, 2 pm, and 6 pm. She eats once in the middle of the night around 2 am.
Sunday May 4th - rolled from back to front - This is not expected until 5 months; she should also have learned to roll from front to back first. She is now able to sleep laying on her belly and is no longer able to use her beloved swaddle blankets.
She is growing up SOO FAST!! Big changes I see coming in the next few weeks - sleeping in a sleep sack instead of a swaddle blanket around her middle, figuring out how to suck her thumb/fingers (there will be much less frustration around here once she gets this figured out!), lengthening the rise on her cloth diapers, reaching for and grabbing toys.
