I had to include this picture too because I thought it was cute.
Here are her stats from her dr's visit.
Height: 24 inches (just over 50th %tile)
Weight: 12 lbs 6 oz (between 25-50th %tile)
Head: 16.4 inches (just under 75th %tile)
A lot has changed in this last month. Sleeping and bottles started being major issues. She slept through the night for the first time this month, 11 hours. But she hasn't done it since. After doing that, she decided that she was done with drinking from a bottle....she preferred nursing. So she stopped eating at daycare, would only eat 1-2 ounces from the bottles there. To make up for this she started nursing more at night and getting up 2-3 times every night. I was not handling this very well. I was EXHAUSTED!! I decided to kind of go on strike and make her take bottles. I stopped nursing her and only gave her bottles for 72hrs. She immediately started sleeping better at night, doing a 7-9hr stretch and only getting up once. She started drinking full(or fullish) bottles during the day. When the weekend came I nursed her again but only for the daytime feedings. I think we are done with nighttime nursing for good. We've now gone 1 1/2 wks of just bottles. She is going a 9 hr stretch at night and only getting up once. She is drinking 3-5oz out of 3 bottles at daycare. It is going so much better.
Other things that have changed in her sleeping is that she no longer requires the head of the crib to be elevated and she isn't swaddled anymore. We still use the swaddle, as a blanket, but her arms are not swaddled in it.
On the weekend she has a good routine. She goes to bed 730-8 and gets up for the day 12hrs later. She is up for about 2 hrs at a time. She takes two good naps during the day and an evening cat nap. She eats every 3-4hrs. During the week(3 days at daycare) it isn't quite as good. She has to get up at 630 for daycare so she isn't getting the 12 hrs at night. We are working on getting her bedtime earlier but I don't think I want it to be as early as 630, she'd be going to bed 10 minutes after Paul gets home.
She is quite the wiggle worm. She doesn't stay put. If you lay her down on the floor she is kicking all over and scoots herself around with all her kicks. She doesn't spend much time in tummy time because she rolls over almost immediately after you put her there. She rolls all the time. She kicks a ton in the bath too. It is hard to keep her positioned in the tub because she kicks so much, and she makes a huge mess.
She chews on her hands a lot. She puts everything in her mouth and loves sucking on blankets, burp cloths, or her dresses. If she has a dress on, it spends the whole day pulled up and in her mouth. She grabs at her toys when she's in her play mat or bouncer. She will grab at them and try to get them into her mouth.
She can now sit up in her "bumbo" like chair. She started in it a couple weeks ago but still needed a little head support if she was in it very long but now she sits in it great without the extra support.
She loves to stand up. If you are holding her she will want to be up on her feet. She smiles at us all the time. She coos some, but not a whole lot and is just starting to laugh.
She is wearing size 2 diapers now. She is still wearing 0-3 month clothes. She has grown out of a few things and has worn a few 3-6 months but it is mostly still 0-3.
She loves the swing. If we let her take a nap in it(which we only once in awhile) she will sleep 3+ hrs. She doesn't take a pacifier. The only time we use on is if she wakes up at night and it's too early to eat(like only been 5 hrs) I can use it to help her get back to sleep.
I figured it would be cute to include a video so we can see what her personality is at these different stages.
