I couldn't decide between these 2 pictures...so...here's week 7.
Little sweet sister.
I can't believe it's already been 7 weeks.
The first 4 to 5 weeks we were eating around the clock.
2 hours, sometimes less.
Tired momma.
I think we've finally turned a corner, and are now at 3 to 4 hours consistently.
This provides a lot more freedom to get out and about as we need to.
As I said here, she has to eat at minimum every 4 hours anyways.
Sleep at night is pretty good. Our last feeding is at 10 and then she starts stirring around 1/2 & 4/5.
After the 4/5am feeding she snuggles up next to me and we sleep till around 7 or 7:30.
We start our day at 7:30 and follow our 7-10-1-4-7-10 routine like we did with Easton.
Naps. Well. Naps happen.
There is no consistency yet in napping.
We're working on naps in the crib, but not forcing it.
I did the 'cry it out' method with Easton, but I don't know if I'll do that with Emerson or not.
I feel a lot more laid back with Emerson, than I was with Easton.
I do like routine and schedule, but hey, if she naps in the swing or on the go or in a wrap, at least she naps.
She likes the Happy Wrap & the Sakura ring sling.
Thanks to my SIL for letting me borrow! They are a life saver!
This is very helpful at dinner time!
She takes a passi. I'd prefer the thumb but she seems to like the passi most of the time.
She's awake a lot more now so it's fun to see her little sweet eyes.
She's got a twinkle just like her brother did..her brother does.
We got our first smile on December 30th, in the Lowe's parking lot.
She gives us smiles several times a day.
Sometimes we'll get a giggle too.
We are mainly dairy free, just like with Easton.
No milk, cheese or yogurt.
Its a big help with fussiness
She really is a delight.
She has a soft sweet spirit and is such a welcome addition to our little family.
