I can't believe my baby is already 3 weeks old! She has been the best baby, so sweet and loves to cuddle. This has been our first week home without help, and things have been wonderful. We are settling into a good routine and Ella fits perfectly into our lives. Here are a few special things she's been up to:
- Eating every 2.5-3 hrs during the day
- She hit a little growth spurt and went back to eating every three hours at night, but last night she had two four hour stretches. Can't ask for more than that!
- Ella has settled into a good routine during the day of eating, awake time, and then napping until it's time for the next feeding. I brushed up on Baby Wise before she was born and she seems to be right on track. I don't agree with everything they say, but this routine works for us and makes things more predictable. :)
- Has started trying to make faces and sounds when she's awake
- Sleeps in her pack and play at night and for naps during the day when we're not out and about
- I've been pumping a lot during the day and Ella takes a bottle great and still breastfeeds at night or when we're home
- Loves to sleep with Daddy in the morning when I'm getting brother up and ready for the day.
Ella, you have completely stolen our hearts and made our family complete. We already love you more than we could have imagined!
