An update on Cara

Time is flying.  Cara is now 2 and a half months old.  She is getting so big.  We think she has crazy fussy times so we worried that she wasn't eating enough.  So we decided last week to take her in for a weight check and she was actually up to 10.1 lbs!  I look at her everyday so I don't notice the weight gain.  But, the scale doesn't lie.  Another sure sign is that I have just moved her up from newborn clothes to size 0-3 months.


She is smiling all the time and squealing when she is happy.  She tries to do a sit up when she is laying down and actually makes it like half-way up.  The swing has become a nap time must.  One day she just decided she likes it.  Thank goodness for the swing because that is the only way I am able to do anything during the day.  The bouncy seat is fun for her too.  Snuggling is one of her favorite things to do.  If I wear her in a carrier then I can do most anything around the house or even when we are out and about.  Things are getting better every day.  She is more and more willing to just sit and hang out while we are running around doing other stuff.

She is still up every 2-3 hours at night and during the day.  I hear that is normal with breastfed babies so I am not too worried about it.  We give her a formula bottle about 2 times per day.  It actually seems to make a difference in how she acts.  She is much more calm now and sleeps better each time she sleeps.

She just stares and smiles at Byron when he talks to her. She loves to be talked to.

We are all doing well and are excited for it to get even more fun as she gets older!
