Six Weeks

Taylor Leigh is six weeks old today!!

I think we have hit a growth spurt period this past week – combination of really LONG naps, and eating every HOUR some evenings seems to indicate that our little girl is expending more energy than usual lately!

So at six weeks, here is what Taylor is up to…

** Much more cooing, our girl is finding her voice, very cute!!

** More frequently only waking me up once between 11pm and 7am!!

** Giving me more little smiles during the day (mornings are her most smiley times right now)

** Lots more head control, she is being able to sit for longer and longer periods with her head up

** Still loves pushing with her little legs – push, push, push, kick, kick, kick!

** Sucking a pacifier more easily now, which has become a great way to help her calm down when she starts to get overtired and fussy (but she still hasn’t really figured out how to KEEP it in once she starts sucking)

** Taking feedings every once and a while from a bottle (we lucked out with the Dr. Brown’s bottles that we bought to try first), but it is still not her favorite thing – we have six more weeks to work on it until it is time for daycare!

** When she sits in her bouncy chair, she really focuses on the little turtle and will bat at it with her little hand

** She seems to really like her monkey mobile and will stare at it as the little monkeys go round and round

Snuggling with her new, handmade pink blanket - love it!! (It's her first blanket that is not gender neutral :-))

Sweet, sleeping face
