Audrey is putting everything in her mouth now…she is able to suck her thumb pretty well but usually tries to shove her entire fist in her mouth. She also discovered her feet today, sticking them up in the air to look at them, it was awfully cute!<\/p>\n

It’s a miracle! I am sleeping! No more waking up at 1:30, 2:45, 3:15, 5:30, 7:00 etc…! Tried rice cereal, didn’t work. Tried formula, didn’t work. Tried the Miracle Blanket and have slept every night since! Its a specially-designed swaddling blanket and it’s awesome! We were swaddling her in regular receiving blankets before and she would come “undone” not long after she fell asleep. This blanket is shaped so that she can’t ” escape!” It looks like a little baby straight jacket but I swear she loves it. As soon as we wrap her up at night she calms down and is asleep within 15 minutes! Since the day we started using the blanket she’s slept from 11:30 – 3:30 wakes up for about 20 minutes to eat and sleeps again from about 4:00 – 8:30! I am writing the guy who makes them a recommendation – SO worth the 30 bucks!<\/p>\n

Audrey has also started liking Avent pacifiers and this is making life easier too. (It’s hard to cry when there is a pacifier in your mouth!) The Gerber Nucs were too heavy and kept falling out but these stay in pretty well and help put her to sleep. Our next challenge is getting her to skip that 3:30 feeding and sleep through the night! Once she can do that we can put her to sleep in her crib (wow, imagine that?!?!?!) So, now life is good because I get about 7 hours of sleep a night…just not in a row! <\/p>\n

I don’t know why, but her acne has come back on her face. I’m praying this goes away soon; I can’t remember what she looked like WITHOUT acne now! She’s smiling, making gurgles, coos, and squeals a lot now. She seems to want to laugh but can’t quite get the sound out yet.<\/p>\n

We are so excited that Aunt Mindy will be meeting Audrey Grace for the first time later this week! I will post about that later this month and add more pictures from Mindy’s visit.
