Crib, no more

So, after Cashew jumped out of her crib for the 5th time, we decided it was time to get the crib out of her room. We're not sure how she did it or how much it hurt her to jump. But, the loud boom was enough motivation. Spidey took the crib apart and then we moved a futon we had into Maddie's room. So, the little queen is sleeping on a double futon - she surely has a lot of room to sleep now. We were afraid she would want to always get out of bed and out of her room. But, she's actually been pretty good. When we first set it up, she was really excited to sleep in the 'new bed'. It was fun seeing her so excited. I must admit though, it was strange having her walk into our room in the morning for the first time. After having to go get her out of her crib for over 2 years, it was weird that she could just open the door and come in. The timing actually works out well though since Mei-Mei has been kicking the sides of her basinette lately. I'm sure she'll welcome the crib that Cashew so willingly gave up. Now we just have to figure out where to put it.

Mei-Mei has been a really good girl. She sleeps pretty well and eats well too. For the last month I haven't been feeding her in the middle of the night. Sometimes she wakes up and I just hold her to get her back to sleep. I've omitted the late night feeding sometimes too and she's okay without it. So, we're on a four hour schedule which is much more manageable. She's smiling, cooing and getting pretty good at holding her head steady. She's done a good job at rubbing the hair off the back of her head too - she loves to turn her head from side to side. The last couple days, we noticed that she had these circular spots on her back. Spidey took her to see the doctor and it seems as though she as eczema - so, I'm not allowed to eat shrimp, eggs or peanuts until we figure out what's causing it and her dry spots disappear. Hopefully she's not experiencing too much discomfort and she'll get better soon.
