Abigail Month 2

Products I've loved:

• Gerber soothe probiotic drops
• Mams pacifiers
• Huggies diapers
• K'tan and Ergo carriers
• Britax B-ready double stroller

• Papaw and Louise came up to meet her.
• Laughed in her sleep.
• Started lifting her head during tummy time!
• Baby acne has begun at week 5
• According to our scale, she weighs 12.2lbs at 5 weeks.
• She does a really good job of falling asleep on her own (when she wants to). Several times during the day and at night she will be asleep in my arms but wake up when I lay her down. She's done a great job of just laying there, looking around, moving, etc. until she falls asleep.
• She seems to have an "every other day" pattern at 5 weeks. She will be alert a lot one day, sleep a lot the next.
• No longer naps while Claire naps. Sad!
• Smiled really big at Andrew while he was talking on 6/11.
• She's had a few nights of 7-7.5 hours between feedings!
• Came to spend a few days at Meme and Poppi's.
• started smiling more at week 6
• Got in the pool for the first time
• Still eats about every 2.5 hours
• Really starting to love watching Claire
• She gets a death grip on anything she can., and claws us to death when there's nothing to grip.
• She is a big kicker!
• She's starting to love the play mat!
• Loudest burper!
• Started shaking her head back and forth like crazy
• Stayed with Cristy and took 4oz in a bottle
• She has the absolute sweetest coos.
• She's had two 8-hour stretches!!!
• Sometimes it's hard for her to eat from the right breast.
• She will hold on to blankets (or my shirt). If you give her a paci at the same time, she will probably fall asleep.

She's working on setting a schedule for herself: eat, play, sleep. She's pretty easy to get to sleep when she's tired. Just give her a blankie and a paci! She wakes up once in the night and then again between 5-6. After that I just put her in bed with me until Claire wakes up.

Thank you for being the best baby!!! Everyone compliments on how wide-eyed and sweet you are! If we could just get you comfy in your car seat, you'd be the absolute BEST! We are thrilled to see your personality grow and glow!
