13 weeks (one day late)

Maddie had zero feedings last night. ZERO! woo hoo! i was nervous...i thought she might be starving but she never cried and I let her fuss. I had to pump at 3am though bc my boobs felt like 100 lbs.

She is growing more and more everyday. I hold her and she is so chunky. She is outgrowing ALL her clothes. I keep buying more, only to have her outgrow it one week later. What a waste of money and I cant even return cuz I already washed it.

She is starting to grab at things now. Its really cute when I feed her and she grabs my cardigan and starts pulling at it.

She is becoming so much more aware. We will walk into a room and her head literally darts from side to side like shes watching a tennis match cuz she is just looking at everything and taking evreything in.

Shes adjusting well...i used to aspirate her nose or use a bobby pin for boogies and she would hate it. cry and scream. now she sees me coming and she stays still. She knows im only helping her and once the boogie comes out, she smiles. hehe.

Shes getting somewhat better in the car. She doesnt cry AS much.

I think shes going through a growth spurt. Yesterday ate every 2 hours and the day before that slept A LOT during the day, which never happens.

Her old hair has almost all fallen out, her new hair growing in. Hurry, I have cute clips I want to use hehe.

Her gas is getting better and she is also burping a lot more. Dont think she was able to burp before, or at least didnt like the feeling.

Started giving her the bottle and she is getting better at taking it. We are using formula for now which makes her poop green and smell awful. I cant wait till we use it up so I can give her pumped breastmilk. Giving her the bottle is so helpful cuz now i feel better about going out and also feel better about me not being the only one to feed her (ie i can go out and someone else can feed her! hehe).

She goes down for naps all by herself now. She still only naps maybe 40 mins tops, but its ok since she sleeps so long at night. She will take 3-4 naps a day. Nighttime she gives us a bit of crying when she goes down but its nothing unmanageable.

We started her in her exersaucer. Shes still a bit small but she does like looking at all the things.

Thats about all the update I can think of. In the past few weeks I have really really enjoyed playing with her and being with her. I started work and I cannot imagine having to leave her if I had to put her in daycare. So thankful I can work from home.
