Every day I'm reminded just how lucky we are that she was born perfectly healthy even though she was premature. She has had zero issues nursing, no problems with allergies or reflux (which I was worried about), and she continues to grow & meet milestones on or ahead of schedule.
She sleeps pretty well - I can't really complain! Lately she has been taking 2 or 3 short (30-60 min) naps and one long (2-3 hrs) nap each day. She goes to sleep around 8/8:30 at night & has even sleeping until 4/4:30 before waking up to eat. This would be awesome if I could manage to get to bed before 11...
Natalie can roll from her tummy to her back. She started at 10 weeks & does it fairly consistently now. She seems to enjoy tummy time most of the time, and I think most of that is due to being a tummy sleeper. Her neck & trunk muscles are getting strong!
She changes a little more every day, tiny pieces of her personality starting to wake up from the newborn fuzziness. We can see her starting to figure things out - like how to get her hands in her mouth, how to splash her sister in the bath by kicking her feet, or how to scoot around we crib in pursuit of the paci.

I hope that Charlotte & Natalie continue to get along as well as they do for a loooong time. Charlotte tells Natalie her stories & shares her treasures with her (this morning she showed Natalie her vitamin & asked her "do you think this looks like a T Rex, Natalie?") and Natalie just looooves Charlotte. She follows her around with her eyes, kicks & squirms & smiles when Charlotte's nearby, and just acts like she's happy to see her. Melts my heart!
