8 Week Update

Addison is now 8 weeks old and doing great. Here is an update:

- She is eating about 3 to 5 ounces (sometimes 6!) at each feeding which is anywhere from 2 and a half to 4 hours apart.

- She takes about 2 long naps and one short nap during the day. (one long one in the morning and right after lunch and a short one ... sometimes in the evening)

- At about 6:30 pm she starts to get a little fussy, but she's not a big crier. She is usually fussy and has a difficult time settling until about 10:00 pm. However, after she falls asleep between 10 and 10:30 she usually sleeps about 5 hours.

- Two nights ago she slept 6 hours and last night she slept 7 and a half hours for the first time!! I really hope this continues.

- She is a big grunter and a very loud sleeper! She laughs, sighs, grunts, coos, and sometimes cries in her sleep. We had to move her to her own room already... she was TOO loud.

- She absolutely loves the ceiling fan and laughs and smiles at it more than her parents!

- She holds her head up while looking over my shoulder very well, but has more issues lifting it while doing tummy time. (Many times she just likes to lay on her tummy and not lift her head)

- She likes to sit in her bouncy lounger and look around her nursery, and I think she likes Motown and R&B soul music ... at least she seems happy when it's playing.

Addie has her two month doctor's appointment next Thursday and I'm hoping the doc says she's doing well. I think she is a pretty big baby! ... but doing great, so I'm not too worried. Here she is in her bouncer... (her daddy put on her socks after giving her a bath last night... so cute).
