Mila: 24 weeks old…
Hello. Our little Mila is now 24 weeks old!
And still enjoys napping with Yoda. Even though she has no idea that the cat is even there.
When she is awake she is loving this exesaucer. What is not to love?
This week we are at the Shady Dell in Bisbee, Arizona. One of our favorite spots to visit.
And how is Mila enjoying our road trip so far? I would say that she loves it. As long as Mama is near by.
Mila has become a great grabber this week. Much to her sister’s dismay. Mila loves trying to pull the sippy cup out of Ava’s hands every morning and at bedtime.
We try to take a lot of walks on our road trip. Sometimes Mila sits in the stroller…
…but she still prefers this carrier. Each time she falls asleep, I wonder what she thinks when she wakes up. Because by then, we are in a new place.
Where are we now, Mama?
At an ice cream parlor? Cool. One banana split, please!
In the mornings, Mila LOVES laying next to her big sister. And her big sister loves showing Mila the ropes.
Oh Mila. You are growing up so fast!
And she even have a pair of sunglasses now. (Sorry they are so crooked!). Happy first Valentine’s Day.
Dada gets in on the baby carrier action too sometimes. Here is Mila are asleep with Dada since she refused to sleep in the bed.
Mila’s sleep pattern is wearing on us this week. She sometimes wakes up 10 times a night. We seriously can’t handle it anymore. Almost to the point that we considered going home. So tonight, on Valentine’s day, we started sleep training. The pack ‘n play came out and Mila started to cry it out. It actually only took a half an hour of crying for her to fall asleep (Ava took an hour) on her first night. Don’t laugh at the sheet. We have to cover her since Dan and I stay up later than the girls. And she only woke up twice that night. Yeah. It’s working!! By the fifth night, she didn’t make a peep. She just passed out.
When Dan works during the day, the girls and I sometimes hide out in the bed room and have play time.
Mila loves chewing on anything she can get her hands on.
And sometimes she is lucky enough to get a story read to her by Ava.
Mila hates riding in her car seat at the moment. So it makes road tripping a little tough. But we schedule everything around her sleeping times so it all works out.
Night night.
And by the end of the week, we were off to New Mexico.
To see White Sands National Monument.
Night night. Again.
