3 Weeks Old

Caitlin, you are 3 weeks old today!  What have you been up to?
  • We are still working on tummy time.  You don't exactly love it, but you're definitely getting stronger!
  • For the most part, you're still a decent sleeper.  Most nights, I get to sleep for stretches of 2-4 hours depending on how hungry you are.  When I have trouble getting you back to sleep after feeding you, Daddy works his magic and gets you off to sleep without much trouble.  You love your daddy! 
  • You are eating about 8 times a day - you take after your Mommy with your love of food!   
  • You love to sleep on our chests.  We've even taken a few naps together this week! 
  • You like the swing, but only for about 10-15 minutes.  After that, you usually decide you've had enough.
  • You are still a little too small for the bouncy seat, but you seemed to kind of like when we tried it.
  • We took you on your first long walk at Rockburn Park on Wednesday and you slept through the whole thing (even the bumpy parts). 
  • You had your first real bath on June 8th in the kitchen sink using your "beach chair" for support.  Surprisingly, you didn't scream through the bath so we think you kind of liked it. 
  • You hate having your diaper changed.  Most times you scream/cry through it, but as soon as we pick you up from the changing table, you quiet down. 
  • We have a few nicknames for you... Squirmy, Stinker, Punkin, and Squeaker. 
  • You're still wearing newborn clothes and diapers.  The 0-3 month Gerber onesies are on the small side so you've been wearing a lot of those.  We've tried a few of your other 0-3 months outfits, and they are still just a little big. 
Here are some of our favorite pictures from the past week!
