Sleepy Baby

You can tell by looking at the picture that she is very sleepy. But you can also tell that she can sit up nicely propped in the chair, not like before where she would start to lean.

Yesterday was her first full day of daycare w/o mom stopping by (the other full day I came at lunch time to feed her). She did just fine. She is starting to get the hang of the bottle. She drank 2oz., then 2.5oz. from her daycare provider. So, mom didn't need to run back to feed her. I picked her up @ 3pm, which was when the next feeding would be. I feed her right before I drop her off and then she should take 4-6 ounces (right now) while at daycare and then feed again once we get home (daycare if only a couple minutes away.) And then a final feeding (a long one) right before bed. Well, at least that has what she has been needing. So, we are getting down to 4-5 feedings a day.

She took 3 short naps at daycare which added up to 2 hours, which is not enough. But she just likes to watch those kids so much, plus she is a light sleeper, so I imagine she wakes up if they get a little noisy. But after she fed once we got home she took a 2 hour nap. Yeah! She really needs to be getting in 4 hours of naps, otherwise she gets to tired.

She slept 11 hours straight last night, yesterday it was only 10 hours (but that was because she had troubles going down to sleep and then I had to wake her to get her ready adn feed her before we left.)

She also likes to play in the morning with her mirrored crib toy, so I need to allow time (10-15 minutes) for that every morning as well. She really likes it if you let her play naked in her crib, which I do in the morning so that her bottom can get some air since she just spent 11 hours in the same diaper. We've been able to ward off any diaper rash by doing this and changing her frequently. If I start to see any bumps or redness I just put some diaper rash cream on it and it's gone by the next changing.

Her little outfit today is a vintage b.t. kids one that mommy picked up on eBay. Very cute!

Tomorrow she gets a full day with mommy and we are going to visit with our friend Carrie in the morning. We don't really have any plans for Labor Day weekend. I think we'll just stay around home and relax - maybe get a few things done if we feel motivated.
