3 Weeks and 5 Days

Carolina is changing and growing everyday. She doesn’t even look like the baby we brought home from the hospital. She is learning to do new things and her personality is coming out drastically. 

She is such a total sweetheart!

WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO:

She is still LOVING her flower swing and she has finally beginning to like tummy time. She has become very vocal, and it seems like she loves hearing herself.
I will post a picture of her doing tummy time soon.

NEW THINGS WE HAVE DONE:

We have finally started bath time and also we had our first family dinner outing and our little girl did amazing. Carolina is doing so well during bath time, I am so proud of my little girl. She starts to get a little cranky when the water starts cooling down so we have to run more water to calm her down.

I will try and post a video if I can.

DISLIKES:

She is definitely not a fan of diaper changes, she does not like having her little butt naked. Carolina also does not like to be left alone, it seems like she knows when you walk away from her, even when she is sleeping. 

SLEEPING PATTERNS:

Our little girl has definitely gotten a lot better about bed time, but unfortunately she will only sleep if someone is holding her or in her swing down stairs. That means no sleep for me, daddy or grandma!

EATING PATTERNS:

She is still doing GREAT with breastfeeding. Even though this little turkey butt likes to play at times, She eats anywhere from 15-45 minutes every 2 hours, depending on if she falls asleep while feeding. Our little girl is now eating up to 4 oz when I pump and give her a bottle. Some days it feels like all she is doing is eating.

DIAPER SIZE:

Still in newborn so far and I think we will be for awhile. Her little butt gets swallowed when we put her in a size 1. 

CLOTHING SIZE:

Mostly newborns still but she can wear some of her 0-3 gowns but she looks a little lost in the regular sleepers.

WEIGHT AND LENGTH:

As of her 2 week appointment she was exactly 8lbs. I am thinking she may be around 8lbs 4-5oz, give her a take an oz. 

Mommy LOVES you VERY much Miss Carolina Dawn!!
