June

June was very rainy and buggy. The mosquitos seemed especially bad this month and made it very unpleasant to go outside almost any time of day. We also kept finding black and brown widow spiders everywhere outside. Also it was hot. We ended up staying inside a lot this month.

June was also the month that Trillian really began sleeping through the night! At her 6 month checkup, I talked with the doctor about how I'd been gradually switching her to formula and asked about stopping her final middle of the night nursing session, and she told me it should be fine to do that at this point. After giving myself permission to not get up when she cried in the middle of the night, it didn't take very long to break the night-waking habit, and ever since then she sleeps roughly from about 7pm-6am through the night, with one last dream feed of formula at 10pm. She still wakes up too early I think, sometimes it's more like 5-5:30, but in any case, sleep has finally gotten a whole lot better for all of us and it feels wonderful! :)

Sleeping like a baby, finally!

This was at a music store in Orlando. We went there with Scott's parents because Scott has been practicing guitar and they wanted to get him a new one as an early birthday present. Atom shows Daddy how it's done!
