Sleep - we are continuing to improve on this slowly. Currently Edith wakes up about 3 times at night. I usually go to bed after the first time, so I am only really getting up with her twice. She typically wakes up around 6 in the morning to be up for the day. Lately it seems as though she is waking up a little earlier, but if she is playing in her crib happy, we won't go up and get her right away. She takes about 3 naps a day. Sometimes the naps are about 30 minutes, but usually they have been stretching out to closer to an hour and some mornings it's been almost 2 hours. Her bedtime is 6:30 each night.
Eating - this month we actually started her on some solids. She loves eating and we are up to feeding her solids twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. We are also making better progress with the bottle. She actually took a bottle with formula while I was standing there and had no issues. I'm really pleased and I think that her full belly may be helping her sleep better.
Teeth - she has two bottom teeth and I am expecting that she'll have more on the bottom soon. You can really see the teeth when she smiles now - it's really cute!
Playing - Edith is getting really good at playing by herself on the floor. She is sitting up so well by herself and loves playing with her toys and Eddie's toys as well. We also got out the Jumperoo and the Johnny Jump-up. She likes both of them, especially when Eddie stands by her and plays with her. I think she is more tolerant being in those than Eddie ever was! She has also discovered how to do an army crawl on her belly. It happened rather quickly. I'm really surprised at that she is already somewhat mobile! While Eddie rolled around like crazy and barely seemed to sit still, she will sit and sit for a long time. It's really refreshing. She hasn't figured out how to get on all fours, so we have a while before she starts to crawl.
Other - Edith is turning into a much happier baby. She smiles a lot more and loves her parents, brother, Sammy and grandparents. She does get frustrated quickly and will voice her opinion, but I would say she definitely cries and fusses a lot less. She loves smiling for the camera. It's so easy to get pictures of her looking at the camera. In fact, posing her for the monthly pictures is a breeze. It's when Eddie turn to sit with her, that it never works out!
