I can't believe my baby is three weeks old! I really can't believe how time is flying. This past week we have been working on trying to get Stella to sleep a little longer at night. Typically she will sleep for about 4 to 4.5 hours, her max has been about 5.5 hours. Slowly but surely we are making progress. She still has her days and nights mixed up a bit, and enjoys hanging out with Mom after her 1:30am feeding. We are really, really working hard at changing that.
Bath time has significantly improved, and Stella actually seems to enjoy it now that she can be placed in the water. This really makes Mom happy because I hated seeing her so upset at bath time!
Stella has also had a few fussy days, where she really only wants to be held and cuddled by Mom, which makes it difficult to try and get some things done around the house. I'm feeling much better, and really just want to get my house, and life for that matter, in order. Although, I do enjoy the baby snuggles over housework any day... and even if Stella's fussy, I love every second because I know she won't be this little forever. And, cue hormonal, post-partum tears.
Stella also started making some crazy eyes this week. This kid cracks me up. Naturally, Dad can't miss all the funny eyes and faces that she makes, so my iPhone camera is constantly getting a workout so Bryce can see everything while he's at work.
Ozzie is still trying to learn his boundaries with Stella... He wants to be as close to her as he can possibly get. I'm sure that will change once she's a little older and begins pulling his tail and sticking her finger in his ear.
We survived the first three weeks!
