Sam’s crib

No, she wasn’t on MTV….
We have noticed that a few times in the last week, while sleeping, Sam has been turning herself around about 90 degrees in the bassinet which means she is sticking her feet through the rails. The bassinet is narrow, and she is getting really wiggly, so it keeps happening. She doesn’t seem to mind, but it bothers us, so last night we switched her from sleeping in the bassinet to her crib. We weren’t sure how it would go, since the crib is so big compared to everywhere else she has ever slept (the hospital bed, the bassinet, the pack-and-play), but she did fine. She didn’t seem to mind having all that space at all. We weren’t sure how long she’d sleep in the bassinet, but figured maybe a couple of months, but I guess she had other ideas!
She is still so small, but I can tell she is growing. She has really good head control now so she lifts and turns her head pretty easily from one side to another now when she is on her stomach. She is also getting harder to burp! She used to just sit still while you held her cheeks so she could be burped and now all she does is look everywhere so fast that it is hard to even get a hold of her head. She doesn’t stay still! She is also starting to really notice things now. I think her eyesight is improving a lot. Now if I lay her across my legs sort of propped up on my knees she grabs for my hair or my necklaces if she can reach. Let me tell you, this little one has some muscles — she gets a death grip on my hair and it is hard to get her to let go!
