7 Months Old!

Matilda turned 7 months yesterday and she is closer to a year old than when she was born. I can't believe how fast it is all going. I love this time with her as a baby as she is learning new things everyday, but I am so excited for what is to come.

She is a rolling machine now. She has finally figured out that rolling is a mode of transportation. If she sees something across the room she wants, she can be over to it in minutes. She continues to rock back and forth when she is on her tummy and is now able to deal with 5 minutes in that position before she starts to melt down.

The replacement mattress for her crib came today (long story), so she will be moving into her room. Haven't decided if we should wait for the weekend so we can have a few more nights with her, or just bite the bullet and put her in there tonight. She has been waking up a lot the last few nights and I dread getting up and down to soothe her. She can't seem to get back to sleep on her own quite yet. I think the swaddling is coming to end as she fights it more than ever now. But she is lying in her crib as I type this in a sleep sack not quite knowing how to fall asleep. She still flails her arms around and can't quite settle. I am hoping this won't be a long process as we all need our sleep.

Omi arrives in a few days and can't wait for her visit! The Memphis crew will also be here in a few weeks.

I typed too soon....I can see her getting drowsy in her crib. Maybe this won't be too bad. Fingers crossed!
