new things

She grabbed her chupete out of her mouth and put it back in. She's getting better at grabbing things. She likes to hold her rag or beads. She can't always put the chupete back in her mouth but sometimes she does. She laughed out loud last week and I tried to video it but she stopped making the out loud noise and was just smiling when I blew on her tummy. Last night my mom was tickling her and she laughed out loud. It's such a lovely sound. Last night was her first night in her crib.I've been having her sleep down on the floor in her bassinet since day 1 but decided to give her more space and a softer mattress in her crib. She did ok mostly and I slept in the futon in her room. We woke up at midnight and 2am for feedings and then I couldn't go back to sleep as she was crying out and moving around a bit. It seems louder in the crib than in the bassinet, with her leg lifts and moving around. I think she likes smaller spaces because again the other night she slept in the car seat until 2am after falling asleep in the restaurant at 9. She scratched above her eye with her ever growing fingernails. They are sharp! I'll be taking her soon for her 4 month appt with the doctor. On Nov 19 she's 4 months old so I'll make an appt for around then, coordinating a day when dad's working so I can take off using sick leave. So after this appt I'm sure I'll get the go-ahead for some cereal/food. Although a friend of mine gives her 2month old cereal in his bottle, T has only gotten breast milk from day 1, minus the nights in the nursery at the hospital when they gave her a small amount of formula. I'm pumping once a day at work and she'll drink about 4 ounces in the time I'm gone. But with the cereal soon to be given to her, she'll probably get more satisfaction. She's a big girl! Her tummy and legs have rolls of fat!! :>
