She smiles and interacts more. She's more vocal. She likes when we make funny sounds. She's stronger and when she sits on your lap she likes to straighten her legs and stand up (very wobbly). She's holding her head up for longer. She's wearing size 2 diapers. She's getting close to 13 lbs (12.5 lbs last week using our scale at home) She's fitting into her 3-6 month clothes (hooray for a new wardrobe!). She's growing more hair!
She's going longer periods at night without eating, too, which is the most exciting development. Last night she slept almost 7 hours! That is a first, but hopefully not a last. She ate at 9, was asleep a little before 10:30, and didn't wake up again until shortly after 5 to eat. Actually she may have just eaten in her sleep, because I don't think her eyes really opened. I fed her and put her back in bed until she woke up at 8. I think she likes waking up at 8, or maybe that's just when I like her to wake up. But usually that's when her eyes finally open and she looks around and smiles. It's very cute. She's also getting better at staying asleep during naps. I can put her in her crib and she will stay sleeping instead of waking up as soon as I'm not holding her. Maybe we're getting better, too, at reading her cues, but I don't want to take any credit. She is just a very good girl. She does cry, but usually not for very long and it often has to do with gas. Once she gets it out she calms down. Or she cries a few times to let us know she's done being awake and then she calms down and falls asleep.
Lilly will be 7 weeks old this Wednesday. I can't wait to see how much more she'll grow before she's 2 months old in a couple more weeks!

She likes to stare at people.
And she likes to look around at everything else.

Lilly awake and happy this morning because she got such a good night's sleep:
And looking good in her skinny jeans:
wow! she is a cute & big girl, probably bigger than mine! We just pulled out the 3-6 month clothes and she is just about three months. crazy how different every baby is.
ReplyDeleteAlly, she is just a total doll. You're almost getting more sleep at 7 weeks than we were getting at 2 years, I'm very jealous. :) Thanks for all the updates, we can't wait to meet her! Oh, and she is still a little baby!!! Love, Karen
ReplyDeleteShe is starting to look more like Drew- her mouth and chin I think. She sure is cute, I love her little outfits!
