Henley had her first week with our new nanny, Ms. Christy. She seemed to have a great time. Each day we picked her up she was happy and smiling. We hope things continue to go well.
Henley got her first taste of oatmeal this week. She has been doing great with the rice cereal. She loves it. So we thought we would try oatmeal next. She took the oatmeal, although her facial expressions told me she didn't like it quite as well as the rice. She does still love eating off a spoon like a big girl though. :-)
She also got her first taste of formula this week. As she has gotten older, it takes more and more milk to get her full. April is just not able to keep up with her. For the most part she is still on breast milk but we had to start supplementing with formula this week. I know April has tried really hard to wait as long as possible to start using formula. She has done so well and I am so proud of how committed she has been with it.
Finally, this past week Henley spent her first night in her own bed. For the past 4 months, she has been sleeping in our bedroom in a rocker/bassinet. She has been sleeping through the night for a while now, so we were hesitant to make the move. We knew it needed to be done sooner rather than later though. The first night started off well. She went down at 9:30 pm but woke up at 4 am and did not want to go back to sleep. Two long hours of crying later, she finally cried herself back to sleep. It was a long 2 hours for April and I. But we hung in there and she did eventually go back to sleep on her own. The second night was perfect. She went down at 9:30 pm and slept until 8 am! We don't know if it was a fluke or if she was just so tired from the night before. I guess time will tell.
