Rolling Over and Running

Nicole is rolling over all the time now. Almost as soon as we lay her down to play, she rolls to her belly. She can roll back the other direction, but doesn't normally. A lot has happened in the last couple of weeks. She started rolling over, she found her feet (both of them now), she's laughing (although she is pretty stingy with those right now). She really is growing up so fast.


Nicole also loves our new running stroller. We got the BOB Revolution. It was pricey, but has really been worth it. I've been able to go running without feeling guilty when I leave or if Shaun isn't home. She normally stays awake for the first little bit and then falls asleep. It has been a great incentive to keep me running longer to get her a nap. Today we ran for just over an hour and she slept almost the whole time. I've been running without her too and that gets easier after running with the stroller. I have to get ready for my PT test in September. The AF only gives us 6 months after the baby is born to get back into shape, so I really need to get ready. I know I can pass it, but I'd like to do well on it.

Nicole 4 Months!

Nicole seems to be growing up so fast. I remember when she was a newborn, I couldn't wait until she was 4 months. Everyone told me this would be a good time and it really is. Nicole spends most of her day so happy. She loves to talk to us and her toys. We got her

an exersaucer and she LOVES it! I think she likes it the most because it keeps her in a standing position, but she also loves the toys. She also loves her Kickin' Coaster because it plays music when she kicks her feet and she can make herself slide up and down. I used to put her in that just so I could take a few minutes to get ready, but now that she has figured it out, she'll hang out there for awhile. She is doing great sleeping during the day and at night. She still wakes up at night to eat, but then goes right back to sleep. A little over a week ago, she had gone back to waking up every 1-2hrs, but luckily that has passed now.We are moving back to the US in October. We'll be heading to Langley AFB, VA. We will both be working at ACC HQ. We're excited to bring Nicole back, so she can meet all her family. We are house hunting now. It is fun looking at houses and considering if it will meet our needs with a baby. I'm excited to decorate a room for Nicole. We didn't do that here.
