Baby update




Since Mia will be 6 weeks old on Monday, it's way past time for an update. For starters, she is a great baby! She looks just like Madeline did at this age, only with brown hair. Another difference is that Mia Elizabeth loves her pacifier, and her big sister wouldn't take one at all! She rarely fusses- cold baby wipes do get her going though :) She is sleeping very well in her crib at night- she goes to be around 9 or 9:30 and only gets up once, usually around 3 AM, to eat. Then she goes right back down to sleep till 6:30 or 7. She and Madeline could be poster girls for BabyWise! She is eating 2 1/2 oz of breast milk every 3 hours- still just pumping and not nursing. We figured if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That was what worked best for me with Madeline, and it has been great for Mia too. According to our scales, she's up to 8.8 lbs! Can't wait for her 2 month check up in January to see how much she's grown! We are so blessed to have her. She is the perfect addition to our family! Madeline is a great big sister- we couldn't be more proud of how well she acts around the baby and how much she's willing to help out.
