Our sweet little Emily is now officially a belly sleeper!
Over the last few weeks, she's been rolling onto her belly at night and then screaming until we go in and roll her back. However, about a week ago, when I went to get her in the morning, she was on her belly! This happened many days in a row, and thanks to our home-made webcam, we could see that she was, indeed, sleeping on her belly all night!! She's taking after her cousin Molly and her friend Rose. What trend setters they are :).
Another thing we've noticed since she started sleeping on her belly is that she naps much better. She's always been our little sleeping champion at night, but her naps were usually about 45 minutes long. If a nap lasted more than 60 minutes, it was a big deal.
Now, she usually naps at least 1.5 hours, and sometimes up to 2! Now, whether this is due to belly sleeping, a growth spurt, or who-knows-what-else, is yet to be determined. But we're enjoying this new change in sleep habits while it lasts!
We also started using the "big girl stroller", as I call it. We used to push her around in her infant seat, but now she gets to use the bigger stroller!
We also ordered a floppy seat cover for when we're out and about. It will make grocery shopping and target shopping and costco shopping and all sorts of shopping much easier! (Watch out bank account!). I don't have to worry about all those nasty germs in restaurant high chairs or shopping carts.

Yay for better naps!! It's so nice when you get a chance to get stuff done and not feel guilty. OR get a nap yourself that is nice and long. :)
I can't wait until Ryan can sit up on his own so I can get one of those things. I hate lugging around the car seat. It's so heavy! You'll have to post a picture of her in it.
Oh longer naps, that's a beautiful thing!
Yay for doing new things. Soon it will be like all of a sudden she'll seem like she's doing/learning everything at once. It'll happen in like a week! So much fun to watch them grow.
