Avery is 2 months old today! Here is the break down of what has happened during weeks 5-8...
Week 5:
*Started sleeping 9 hours overnight
*Making more noises/different cries
*Finally found a paci she likes, Avent
*She had her 1st overnight stay with Grandma & Grandpa Jones for NYE. AND she was wonderful.
*My last day to BF was 12/30. She is strictly FF now.
*Growth spurt, eating 6oz
*Woke up in the middle of the night to eat for the 1st time since she was 2 weeks old.
*Recognizes voices & faces
*Smiles sometimes
*I started working out at the gym again
Week 6:
*Avery had her portraits made
*I had my 6-week post partum check-up & my polyp is gone!
*She slept over 10 hours overnight.
*She is spending time on her tummy mat & on her back on her jungle mat.
*She can focus more, hears sounds and turns to them
*1st real smile while watching My Best Friends: Tigger and Pooh! Hoorah!!
Week 7:
*She is smiling more
*She weighs 10.5 pounds
*Sleeping an average of 10 hours overnight
Week 8:
*I am finally starting to feel better about the way I look! I feel skinnier, but don't necessarily look it.
*Avery is sleeping an average of 11 hours overnight
*She used to sleep on my chest, now she likes sleeping on my lap
*We are finally on a schedule. She is eating every 3 hours and has been sleeping from about 8:30pm-8am. AND I have to wake her up at 8am. I love waking her up because she is in a better mood and I get some smiles:)
*We have been following BabyWise: Eat, play, sleep
*I think she might be teething. I know it's early, but she has a white spot on her upper right gum.
*Her eyes are changing color. They are getting lighter from the inside out.
*We had our 1st outing together to Target. I realize I'm slow, but am super paranoid. She was amazing and slept the whole time. When she wasn't sleeping, she was just wide awake listening to all the commotion.
*Started walking around the neighborhood with her now that the weather permits it.
*She likes napping in her stroller.
*Avery rolls over from her tummy to her back! So exciting!
*She can hold her head steady longer. During tummy time, she pushes up and can hold that position for a lot longer than I have ever seen her do it.
*And she sat in her Bumbo seat for the 1st time, but only for a minute.
Keep getting out! It will keep you sane! That is how I kept my sanity! We went on drives, went grocery shopping, we still go to Target almost every weekend just to get out of the house! When mine were smaller and I wasn't working I would go on walks twice a day with them! They still love going for a walk in the stroller! Getting out saves the day!
