Sleep Time

Amelia is getting into a schedule that includes an afternoon nap that lasts for about 3 hours.  I manage to get a lot done in that time!  She's also been going to bed at a consistent time.  We've also been working on getting her to fall asleep in her crib on her own.  We're almost there.  Usually she will begin talking and I wait for awhile until she gets tired and go back in to put the pacifier in her mouth.  After that she'll go to sleep.  It's so nice to have her fall asleep in her crib so that we don't have to try and move her to it without having her wake up. 

We had a pretty relaxing 4th of July.  We went to my uncle Joe's for a party and then came home to watch the fireworks from our window.  Amelia slept through them.  Maybe next year she'll be able to stay up and watch. 

Next week we have her 4 month check up.  I can't believe how fast 4 months has gone.  In fact in a couple of weeks it will have been a year since I got pregnant.  So strange!  My girl isn't so little anymore.  She's up to 14 pounds!  I've been having to pull out some of her clothes that are too small now.  :-)
