Yikes, I’ve been a horrible baby-blogger! I can’t believe more than a month has gone by since I last posted. I’m going to try to be better about that, and also Geoff & I really need to get up some photo albums, starting with the pictures from the hospital when she was born. We also have SO many videos to add, even though most of you have probably already watched them on Facebook!

Today Milla had her well baby checkup with the pediatrician. We got to find out that she has grown to 23″ and 12lbs! She’s still in the average/normal percentiles. We’re excited that she’s growing so much, but also a little sad! It’s bittersweet

Everything else checked out great, which we were very happy to hear. She also began her first round of vaccinations. That part wasn’t so wonderful. It was pretty horrific to see her in pain even for just 2 seconds while she got her shots. She felt a little unhappy for most of the rest of the day, but after a lot of naps & a tiny dose of infant Tylenol, she was smiling & sweet again.

Immunizations definitely seem to be one of those controversial hot-button topics for moms (along with breastfeeding, cloth diapers, co-sleeping, etc.) I’m one of those people who believes in letting people make their own decisions about what they feel is best for themselves and their child & try my best not to judge. I don’t feel like things always have to be so black & white – there’s always room for a little gray! After weighing all the pros & cons, I decided that getting Milla immunized was the way to go. For the record, I also currently breastfeed exclusively, use disposable diapers, and have had Milla sleep in the bed with us a handful of times, but for the majority she slept in her bassinet right next to my side of the bed.

Speaking of sleeping, the little bean is now spending nights in her nursery crib. She was almost to the point where she was too big for the bassinet, and she’s also been sleeping through the nights (!!! HOORAY !!!) so it just felt like the time had come. She has her awesome Sleep Sheep stuffed animal (a sweet gift from our good friends George & Ryane) that plays different soothing sounds while she falls into deeper sleep. It’s working like a charm!
