Monday "Playgroup"

Can you call it a playgroup when the babies aren't really old enough to "play" with each other yet? 3 of my yoga friends have all had babies within 6 months of each other. Jenn was the first with Oscar (in the green with the bib), who is 3 months older then Arden. Then Erika has Killian (in the stripes), who is only 5 days older then Arden. Then Ellen has Sutton (in pink), who is 3 moths younger then Arden. We get together once a week on Mondays, and this Monday we went to Fletcher Park near downtown Raleigh. It's a great way to swap baby stories and ideas, and to be able to have some interaction with people that can speak in more the one syllable at a time!

Moving into her Room!

So Arden moved into her crib tonight for the first nighttime sleeping on her 4 month birthday! I've been putting her in there during her daytime naps for awhile, but this was the first night she slept alone in her crib. We had her in a handmade cradle from my Dad up until this point. She was pretty indifferent to the whole move, it was more of an attachment thing for Dave and I- we liked having her in our room so close! And it made nighttime feedings so much easier for me. But she was starting to outgrow the cradle so time to move. She now can wiggle and roll freely in her own bed. She still comes and snuggles with us in our bed in the mornings though!

Rolling Over!

Arden has started rolling over! At first as Dave says it was a bit like finding a unicorn, she would only do it when we had left the room for a minute, and we would come back and she'd be on her tummy- not the way we left her. But she has since gotten over her performance anxiety and has started rolling over while we're watching. Major milestone! Dave and I have joked that we're going to get bumper stickers- "Your kid maybe on honor roll, but our kid can roll over"
