Three Weeks

I don't know how long I'll keep up these weekly Cece updates. They may turn into monthly posts instead. She's changing so fast though, it's nice to have a weekly post to look back on to preserve the transformation. And it's not like I need an excuse to take more pictures of Cece. :-)

At three weeks, Cecelia is:

- Growing! Unofficially she weighs between 8-9 pounds and is stretching the seams of some of her newborn clothes.

- Has transitioned into cloth diapers. So far so good - no leaks!

-Is alert most of the day with the exception of a morning and afternoon nap. Some days I think she's not sleeping enough. She doesm't like to miss out on anything and will fight to stay awake during daylight hours. I shouldn't complain though, she's a pretty good night sleeper.

- Her "fussy" time of day, between 6-10 pm, has gotten easier. The magic trick is to put her in the ErgoBaby. She loves this thing!

- She  really seems to enjoy baths. Except when they are over.

- She falls alseep between 7-10 pm and sleeps for a solid 3-4 hours and then is up to feed again 1-2 times through the rest of the night. One time this week she slept for a 5 hour stretch. i woke up feeling like a million bucks after that. It hasn't happened since.

- She loves car rides. As long as the car is moving. She also enjoys her MamaRoo.

- She has a case of baby acne. This bothers me but not her.

- She sticks her tongue out and likes to stuff her hands into her mouth.

- She smiles a lot. Not sure if it's just coincidental or an actual smile. She's also starting to coo a little and make random noises.

- We ventured out for our first outings this week. Went grocery shopping, out to lunch (twice!) and to visit friends.
