Progress...

Anniston rolled over for the first time last week; back to tummy. She's done it a couple more times since, but doesn't quite know what to do with herself once she's on her tummy and gets pretty upset if you don't help her roll back. She has never liked tummy time; we've been working on that.

She still likes to be swaddled when she first goes to bed, but usually manages to wiggle her way out some time during the night. She then enjoys moving all over her crib in her sleep. One night she even managed to wiggle her way right out of her PJ bottoms.

She still likes to take a binki at bed time and nap time, but really has no interest in it any other time of the day. Very much the opposite of her sister who couldn't live with out hers. Anni much prefers to suck on her hands, or her blanky, or mommy's hand.

Anni is finding her voice more and more each day. She loves to have little conversation with anyone who'll take the time to talk to her.

She is still our little skinny mini; only eating about 24 oz. a day. While she's grown into a size 6-12 months with her height, she's still a 0-3 month in her waist. One of these days I'm hoping she'll start eating better and get a little meat on her bones.

She's still a pretty good sleeper, going to bed around 8-8:30 p.m. and waking up around 5-5:30 a.m. She eats and goes back to sleep until 9 a.m. There are however, random night every other week or so that she'll wake up a little earlier, like 3 or 4 a.m., but she still just eats and goes back to bed until 9 a.m. And on the flip side, she also has random night that she'll sleep all the way until 8 or 9 a.m.

I'm pretty sure she's started teething. The last few weeks she's been getting random low grade fevers. She's also been drooling like crazy and gnawing on anything she can get her little gums around, which is usually my hand, fingers or shoulder. I guess mommy tastes pretty good.

Anni loves loves loves her big sister. Reese can always get Anni to stop crying, just by paying attention to her. Anni watches every move Reese makes and laughs or giggles at everything she does or says. On the flip side, Anni get's very upset if Reese is upset. She can be completely happy then she'll hear Reese crying or getting upset and Anni loses it too.

We've taken Anni swimming a couple times now and it looks like we may have another little fish on our hands. She officially loved the water, smiling and squealing the entire time.
