Danny had to work in San Antonio one week, so we tagged along and played during the day- visiting friends, having fun on the Riverwalk and more!

We were riding along and Brayden said "Mommy...hurry!  Take a picture- Sissy is holding my arm!"

Dear Trystan,
Sweet baby girl...Your Mommy and Daddy love you so very much!  It's hard to keep track of all of the new things  you are doing each month, but know we are watching your every smile and move! 

- Sleeping: You are still a great sleeper! Thank you!  You are in bed between 8 and 8:30 p.m. and sleep until 6:30 or 7 a.m.  You wake up happy, alert, ready to eat and play.  You are still cat napping a couple of times a day, but if we are home, you'll take a 45 min morning nap and a 2 hour afternoon nap in your crib not swaddled!  That's the biggest news- you moved up to  your crib in your room and you aren't swaddled at all!  I tried both "cold turkey" and you're doing great.  It takes you 5-10 minutes of rolling around and talking in your crib, but then you fall asleep happy. 

- Eating: You are eating closer to every 2 1/2/3 hours so I know you are ready for cereal, but Mommy isn't ready yet!  In the early morning, you are content just breastfeeding.   Mommy's milk has dried up during the day- we get an early morning and right before bed nursing, but that's it.  This is exactly the same time as when this happened with your brother, despite the multiple things I did differently to try to help it last longer this time.   

- Clothes and Diapers: Wearing size 6-9 month clothes and size 2/3 diapers (which they stopped making but I had a pack I saved from Brayden so we are in those now.  You will be in size 3 soon)

- Favorites: Playing with toys- either in the exersaucer, bouncer, bouncy seat, carseat, floor..you love holding anything and putting it in your mouth.  You are a VERY talkative baby and love to talk to yourself or anyone/anything that will listen.  You're favorite thing to do is blow bubbles...big, drool filled bubbles! 

- Firsts:
4/14 rolled from tummy to back
4/15 1st rolled back to tummy towards your left side
4/25 1st night in crib in your room upstairs
4/27 1st night in bed not swaddled-  you rolled around for about 10 minutes and then peacefully drifted off to sleep
