SHE LOVES TO LISTEN TO HER DADDY SING AND READ TO HER..AND SHE TOTALLY RESPONDS TO HIM WHEN HE DOES! SOME NIGHTS ARE BETTER THEN OTHERS STILL THE MOST SHE WAKES UP IS EVERY 3 HRS..BUT THE OTHER NIGHT WE GOT 6 :) YEAH FOR SLEEP! WE ALSO STARTED PUTTING HER IN HER CRIB..SHE REALLY LOVES TO PLAY IN THERE BUT IS STILL LEARNING THAT'S WHERE SHE IS SUPPOSED TO SLEEP...LOL (LAUGH OUT LOUD..FOR U AUNT MARY! :) JUST NOW WAS THE FIRST TIME I PUT HER DOWN FOR A NAP AWAKE IN HER CRIB SHE PLAYED FOR A LITTLE AND ACTUALLY FELL ASLEEP BY HER SELF ALL ON HER OWN YEAHHHH ..AND I JUST CHECKED ON HER AND SHE IS UPSIDE DOWN IN THE CRIB! HEHEHE I PUT HER IN ONE WAY AND SHE TURNED HER SELF THE TOTAL OTHER WAY..ANOTHER FIRST! GUESS SHE WANTS TO LOOK AT THE WALL INSTEAD!


SHE IS JUST SO PRECIOUS, AND WE LOVE HER SO MUCH!! I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT I CAN STAY HOME (MINUS THE TWO DAYS A WEEK I WORK) AND WATCH HER GROW!
