Take 2

Just as we thought we had the scheduling/routine - thing down for our family.....things change!
Here's an update....

For Rebekah:
1. she mastered rolling over from her tummy to her back.
2. she hates being on her back.
3. we put her in the crib on her tummy to go to sleep....she is peaceful until she gets on her back! (so do we hold her down until she falls asleep? do we make her learn to like her back? do we consistently go in her room and flop her back on her belly?
4. she purposefully grabs toys, moves the dinner plate and plays with the blanket.
5. she eats a ton more in the last 24 hours.
6. she likes people.
7. she likes to talk to people and gets frustrated when they don't understand what she has to say.
8. she is almost 4 mos. old.
9.she gets up on all 4's.
10. she doesn't like to sleep during the day, only nighttime.

3. trying to keep up with the demands of rebekah's belly.
4. has 6 classes total to attend at work....on top of working 36hrs/wk.

6. wants to take daily walks with rebekah in the stroller. (sometimes it happens!)
7. got new glasses.
8. getting things together for taking the state nursing test to become a RN.
9. wants to spend more time with hubby.....without the little one.

Hi Sara, this is Jillian, Mandy's friend. I was just reading your blog, your daughter is adorable!! I wanted to let you know that I obsessed about my boys sleeping on their tummies. I would get upset when they would roll over from their backs to their tummies and roll them back over, only to find them on their tummies once more. Their pediatrician told me that once they can roll onto their tummies, you really can't stop them....little stinkers! Hope that helps some. I know it's very frightening.

hey jillian....nice to hear from you! thanks for the tips. yeah, she's getting better. i think she is realizing that rolling over is not a good idea. for the most part, she has been staying on her belly for the last couple nights.
