She weighs in at 10 lbs. 9 oz, nearly doubling her birth weight in just 9 weeks of life. Interesting tidbit- her big brother also weighed 10 lbs. 9oz at this exact age. She has grown to 22 inches long.
Baby L started grinning just before 7 weeks. Now she treats us with smiles and baby-babble daily. One of my favorite things is to smile and talk to her. Big brother J likes to mimic her baby noises, which just makes us smile even more. Her head is getting a little steadier. We are thrilled with her learning to take a bottle, after a few rough sessions she has learned to drink one well. We even left her for 2 hours while my aunt was in town visiting- it was the first time she had been away from Momma. While she isn't old enough to show interest in toys, she will bat at them hanging overhead when laying on her playmat.
We see a natural routine forming and it looks something like this...
Wakes around 7am
Up for an hour to an hour & half.
Nap #1
Up late morning and awake for couple hours
Nap #2 - Momma tries to time Big Brother's nap with this one for a bit of a break
Awakes late afternoon and stays awake for the evening... with maybe a quick cat nap on someone cuddly.
At night she is usually swaddled and snoozing by 9pm... and I won't say how long she sleeps in fear of jinxing it, but will say she is a champion night sleeper!
