1. 12 weeks!

2. She's settled into a loose routine for napping which is nice! Also been doing pretty well sleeping at night. Lots of smiles and coos.

3. I was gone during a feeding yesterday and it took almost an hour for DH to get her to take a bottle. It was like she didn't know how to suck it. He tried so many different things and I was about to have to rush home. She hadn't had a bottle in 2 months so I guess we need to do it again soon so it's not such an ordeal.

4. Were doing good. Made a little time for just us over the weekend.

Qotw: napping, having DH take care of kids, some me time, and a nice meal out as a family. We didn't attempt a meal out due to toddler teething and being a pain at meals lately.

Will poof photo later

Poof

Sorry been MIA lately. This is officially my last week with a newborn though!

turquoisequeen, jennykat, you have beautiful babies (of course)!

Check in:

1. Age this week? My girl will be 4 months old on Friday, I can't believe it.

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? She's sitting up on her own, and will pull herself up for a few seconds from a reclining position, it's too cute.

3. Challenges? She's been really congested the last week, and it doesn't show any signs of getting better. She hasn't had a fever or anything so our best bet is allergies or the ridiculously fluctuating weather. Our Nosefrida is getting lots of use...

4. How are the adults doing? We're doing well. We had our first baby free night out this past Friday, and it went really well!

5. Got a cute pic from this week to share?

. whoa that is one long nap! I don't ever let naps go over 2 hours at this age so that she will nap again and not have too much awake time.

She typically will still nap later with a three hour nap. I think I may make that be our cut off. Today she started napping before we ran errands and she continued to sleep in the car. I brought her inside, set her down while I peed and figured I could make and eat lunch in peace.

She's also going through the week 8 wonder week, so extremely fussy while awake so that also played a part in letting her sleep today

Maybe she just loves sleep too. That can't be a bad thing! I say do whatever works until it isn't working anymore
