I've been told that everything really starts to happen at about 8 weeks. Well, tomorrow is 8 weeks and she slept through the night last night! I hope it wasn't a fluke! She was being fussy so I kept feeding her. She at at 8:45, 9:45 and 10:30 and then went to sleep. She didn't wake up again until 5 am! Usually she is up again at 3:30! We are very happy about this and plan on "cluster feeding" her again before bed tonight. Since I know how much everyone loves the pictures, here is one of her right after a bath. She had a really bad diaper (bad mommy, don't eat pizza!) and had to have a bath to get cleaned up. When her hair gets wet, it is quite curly. If I don't brush it down while it is still wet, it sticks straight up until her next bath! She takes after her daddy in this area.

Thad just got back from the dr. The analysis is strained muscles and a bruise on his foot. Nothing long term. The dr said he should be feeling better in 7 to 10 days and that he needs to try to stay active so the muscles don't tighten up any worse then they already are. We are very glad that he came out of this as good as he did and that everything is expected to heal just fine.

Can this be possible? I didn't think they were suppose to do this for a couple more months, but Raquelle has been rolling over all morning! After she gets onto her back, she tries to keep going, but can't quite make it from back to front yet. It took us a few tries to get it all on camera because I gave up waiting for her to roll over, and as soon as I stopped waiting with the camera, she would roll over again. So, I finally had to just be very pacient to get these pictures.

Yup, that's right. 2 car accidents in the same family in the same month! I'll start off by saying that he is ok so that no one will worry about him. He was driving home from work (in the company car) on a rural highway and an oncoming car made a left turn right in front of him. Sound familior? If it doesn't scroll down and read about Annie's accident! Anyway, Thad actually did have time to get to the break pedal, so he didn't hit at as high of a speed. He is walking away from the accident and not going to the hospital. I did make a dr appointment for him for tomorrow just to make sure he is ok. His car, however, is leaving the scene by tow truck. Mom says these things usually happen in 3's so I wonder who is next?

We are now trying AGAIN to transition Raquelle to her crib. We tried this a couple weeks ago and she was doing well, but then she got sick and had to sleep upright. So, back to sleeping in the bouncy seat or occasionally the swing. I was hoping I wouldn't start any bad habbits. Her first nap yesterday, she slept in her crib...I put her down and she went right to sleep without any fussing. Her 2nd nap, She fell asleep in my arms, so I went and laid her down...5 min later she was fussing and a min later she was screaming. So, I went and calmed her down and got her back to sleep. 5 min later she was fussing and a min later she was screaming. This continued for an hour before she finally dropped off and stayed asleep. Then, last night...Thad fed her and put her to bed and she went right down without any fussing. Middle of the night, she ate and went right back to bed with no fussing. This morning...she is refusing her crib. I got frustrated enough I gave up for the morning ...
