Fallyn / Week 5

HEALTH

Things are still going great in the health dept! 

You do have a little bit of build up on your left eye ... the exact same as your sister. I know I've mentioned her a few times and I'm certainly not trying to compare, however, the similarities are just amazing between you two. Even our friends talk about how they have never seen two siblings that look so much alike at your age.

I can tell that your hair is starting to come out a bit.

SLEEP

Love your sweet snuggles, Fallyn!

You are still sleeping about 2-3 hours and sometimes you have given us a 4 hour stretch. I've still tried to continue to let you nap in our bedroom some in the crib in the dark and then let you nap in the living room to try and get you to learn day and night. 

EATING

You are going every 2-3 hours and your amount ranges from 2-4 oz. This is one area where you and your sister are very different. After awhile she seemed to put herself on a schedule and we knew most of the time how it was going to go.. we never know how long you are going to sleep and how much you are going to eat! I never know how many ounces to put in a bottle at one time because every single day its different. So I start out on the low end, (except at night), and then if you seem to want more, we make more.

You are THE hardest child to burp (I may have mentioned this already) and its hard to wake you out of your milk comas to finish your bottle. So sometimes it seems as if you snack, sleep, snack, sleep and then we try and lay you down and you pop right back up again.

I've had lots of help around the house .. mostly at night and sometimes during the day too. Weezie had spent the night with us this night before and that day we went and visited with Mama Jane. Your sissy just loved and loved on you. I remember this day you weren't very settled at all. Your stomach was very gassy.

You are DEFINITLEY a stomach sleeper already. When we have laid you on your stomach you have been at ease and slept the longest periods of time. I'm just not doing this at night because you still don't have 100% control of your head yet. Which means we are up more during the night and it seems to take you longer to go back to sleep. If we do get you laid down, you are up within the hour to be burped again.

Love these sweet sleepy pictures!

WHAT FALLYN IS UP TO

You are into checking everything out a little more! 

We are noticing you are more alert lately. I love to watch you look around!

Oopsy. I had laid you down for a nap with your hat and well, you see what happened. Hee hee.

Stephany made you these super cute monthly shirts!

Big yawn!!!

One morning while getting ready you gave me a few minutes hanging out in the Mamaroo.

Sleepy milk coma smile!

Early morning snuggles! I was so tired and so thankful we had this moment together for some extra snuggle nap time.

Trying to get ready for your dr appt! You were not settled this day and I had to call Weezie to come help for a few minutes while I could get ready and get all your stuff ready. I'm so thankful she works just down the road now and that she was able to do this.

waiting at the dr office..

It cracks me up when you get your hand positioned near your face. So sweet and so cute.

One of our bath times! Big Sissy will 'help' AKA play in the water with her cup. She is SUCH a GREAT helper but during bath time she needs a little help with where to pour the water... and not on your face. Ha.

You like being swaddled and do NOT like your back so your side it is most of the time!
