9 week Summary

Personality
This is a new one I am adding- I think it will be neat to look back and see how her personality has developed.  This week, she has been laughing so hard that she turns her head from side to side.  It is precious!  She has also started SCREAMING when we change her clothes.  I can tell winter is going to be so much fun!

Nursing
Continues to go well.  She is falling asleep during the first nurse of the day- but then again... so am I, haha.

Waketime Length
I am still playing with this, but I would say that her average in the mornings is about 50 minutes while her average in the afternoons is about an hour and a half.

Nighttime Length
She was getting a dream feed, then waking up around 4 and then I was waking her around 6.  BUT- Friday of this week she SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT for the first time!!! She went from 9:30 to 5:15!!! Thank you Caren for pushing me to do this!

Growth
She had a doctors appointment this wekk and we found out that she is still a little big for her age :) Not quite as advanced in her height, but more in her weight than before.
Height: 23 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 12 lbs. 12 oz!!!  (90th percentile)
Since I wasnt keeping up this blog at two weeks... the last time we went to the doc, she was about 8 and a half pounds and 21 inches.  This was 97th percentile in weight and about 75th percentile in height.

Swaddling
Out of the swaddle.  I still tuck a blanket around her waist and legs when she needs some cover on her.  Serves two purposes- I dont have to keep coming back in to re cover and it gives her that snugness that swaddling gave. 

Wonder Week
not one that I know of.

Our Schedule
I changed it part way through the week.  She was still waking up an hour into her nap, so I didn't think that the shorter waketimes were cutting it. After talking to Caren, I am moving towards a straight three hour schedule.  Having a feeding at 9pm keeps me from doing the dreamfeed- and what do ya know... it ended up helping her sleep through the night.

Outings/Events
No big outings, but Grammie K and Chelsea came for a visit this weekend.

trying to figure out where Carrie got the Cloth Diapering trial kit from.  Will let you know if I find it and if they are still offering it.
