I think that we may be hitting a growth spurt with the little one. For the past few nights she hasn't been sleeping as well as she usually does.
Her "normal" schedule is to go down at 8pm, wake up at 2am, 5am and then finally at 830am. Lately she has been waking up at 130am, 330am, 630am and then finally 830am, wanting to eat each time she wakes up. And today I'm noticing she's wanting to eat every 2 hours instead of every 3. I'm hoping this just means that she is growing and working up to a pattern of sleeping through the night. I've read that as babies get close to sleeping through the night they want to eat more and "cluster feed" during the day. For now we'll just see what happens, but I'm trying to adjust to less sleep again! She makes it easy on me though because she's just the happiest baby, especially in her room. I can't help but smile at her when I go into her room at 130am and she's full of smiles and giggles for me as I change her diaper in my sleepy state.Speaking of giggles, Sophie had her first real laugh yesterday! I can't believe nobody was around to hear it because of course I haven't been able to get her to do it since. Hopefully she'll keep doing it more and more and maybe I'll even be able to capture it on video to share with everyone here. It was definitely the cutest thing!
As I mentioned in my last post, we've been working on trying to get her to sit up. She keeps leaning forward when sitting on our laps so I feel like that's her telling us she's ready to try to do it on her own. So we brought out the "bumbo" yesterday and she loved it.
She still slumps forward a little bit after a few minutes, but I know she'll get the hang of it in no time. She just loved being in it too!
So that's our latest update. I hope you're all enjoying you week. Check back again soon!
