<\/a><\/p>\nEAT<\/strong><\/p>\n Kaitlyn eats 4-5 times a day. She naturally gravitates towards 4, but I find myself trying to shove in a 5th feeding because 4 sounds like too few. When she nurses, she takes her sweet time. It ends up being 20-25 minutes each time.<\/p>\n I forgot how much I enjoy nursing. She often wraps her little hand around my thumb or fiddles with her ear. I\u2019ll be honest that during the day I sometimes use that downtime to play on the phone, but at least once a day, I try to put the phone away and remind myself how it seems like I was just nursing Hailey\u2026 as in, time flies.<\/p>\n The BIGGEST piece of news is that Kaitlyn drank an ounce from a bottle the other day (toss that confetti!!). I totally tricked her into it and I wouldn\u2019t say she has mastered it by any means, but having even a glimmer of hope that she will take to a bottle is life changing. I keep pumping an ounce after her morning feeding to practice with later in the day. I hope to report back soon with even further success!<\/p>\n SLEEP<\/strong><\/p>\n I hate even tempting fate with this section, but she\u2019s sleeping well. She goes to bed 7:15 and usually wakes up between 7:00 and 7:30. She does the best on days I am home and can give her quality naps in her crib. She sleeps unswaddled, in jammies and on her tummy. Always.<\/p>\n Speaking of naps, she bounces between 2 and 3 a day. At home she will nap 9:15-11ish and 1:15-2:45 with hit or miss on the evening cat nap. If we are on the go, she will only sleep 45 minutes MAX in her car seat, so those are often 3 short nap days.<\/p>\n She took her first cat nap in the Ergo the other day and mannnnn did I forget how much I love that. A sleeping baby on my chest? Yes please!<\/p>\n PLAY<\/strong><\/p>\n She\u2019s my busy and happy girl. I recognize daily how grateful I am to have such an easy going second child. Around 14 weeks she found her feet and started giggling. She loves bath time, drools a ton and often has both hands shoved in her mouth, but when I think of Kaitlyn, the thing that stands out the most is her desire to GO. I can\u2019t keep her on her back for more than 2 seconds.<\/p>\n She enjoys her exersaucer, but prefers to be on the ground so she can do her inch worm move. I tried to capture it, but, well, here:<\/p>\n She pulls her legs up underneath her, then stretches back out resulting in tiny movements forward. She can inch her way over to toys already and visions of baby-proofing are starting to bounce through my head.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
