Kaleigh Update

Well thankfully she is for the most part sleeping thru the night. She starts getting restless between about 4 and 5 am and is usually up by at least 5:30. She will have a bottle and play for about 1 to 2 hours depending on when she gets up and then she is falling asleep while playing at that point so we usually let her finish her sleep until about 9 when she get up for some cereal. She may have a small nap from 10:30 or so until just before 12 and then she is up for her lunch and then she is usually up until at least 3 or so and will sometimes take another nap. This afternoon one depends on if she had a morning one and how long it was. She is then up until about 8:30 unless she skipped her afternoon nap and then we fight to keep her up until 8. I would like to get her to stay up until at least 9 so that she will sleep later of the morning but we will work on that over the next couple of weeks. She is eating lots now and will even take some small bites of adult food. She loved the carrots and potatoes in the homemade veg beef soup I made. She likes the chicken from chicken nuggets, maybe a bite of scrambles egg and the soft pieces of hashbrowns. We are working on a sippy cup and can get her to take small drinks from time to time but not loving it yet. We are working on fluids other than milk and formula in the sippy cup. We are doing half and half with the whole milk and the formula right now which seems to be working well (except for when someone forgot to pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds to take the chill off). She is doing much better in the car seat and even let me move to the front yesterday afternoon. She is doing great at sitting up now but hasn't figured out how to go from sitting to crawling or crawling to sitting without help yet. She is a very happy baby and loves Abbigail almost as much as Abbigail loves her. She has pulled the ears and fur and kicked and smacked Abbigail and surprisingly....Abbigail just sits and takes it. Malcolm likes her but could do without her just as well and she stares at him and on occassion will pet him but for the most part could care less about him. I think he is just too old to care now. Anyway enjoy these at home pictures.
