6 months is *much* easier than 6 weeks

Wow, what a big girl! It seems like only weeks ago that I was looking at her
newborn pics...

My Sprogly, who just turned 12 weeks a couple of days ago, is like a
different baby from just 6 weeks ago. He's discovered his fingers, and he
laughed for the first time the night before he turned 12 weeks. I'd say he's
about a week away from doubling his birth weight. (I've gotta post some
pics.)

HAH!
Who sent the "feverish snotty baby that won't sleep in his crib and
sounds like a waterbuffalo in heat" vibes??
*groan*
HE seems a bit better today at least.

newborn is a big girl, who can sit all by herself, and get
onto her hands and knees by herself, and go from sitting on
the floor to hanging from my shirt collar while banging her
head into my chin.

Isn't it amazing how that suddenly happens? Especially when you think back
to the exhausting newborn days. Congratulations!

Caterpillar looks gorgeous and happy in the new pic.

Heh, probably the same person who sent my DS "wake up crying in the middle
of the night, but without wanting to nurse" vibes last night. Let's get
'em!

I hope this turns out to be true for us as well. Lauren turned 6 weeks
on Tuesday and I swear Monday was her last really difficult day
(probably coincidence, I know, but let me hold on to this illusion a
while longer) and it's been a great week since. She actually drank
from a bottle (yeah! first time) and rode in her stroller without
complaining (yeah again, my back is breaking from the baby bjorn). And
she's been waking for just 3 quick feeds a night so I feel human for
the first time in weeks.

She is so adorable!! And sitting up just like a big girl. Maybe you
can have someone photograph her first solid feeding?

Rachel & Julie, mommies to the happy smiling Lauren

Yay! IME, there are things that are more troublesome and
less troublesome that come and go, but the bf-specific ones
either get easier and easier or are not that big a deal.

Yay! Caterpillar took a couple of days to drink from a
bottle, and still isn't a big fan. (Today she had a
whopping 3 ounces during the 9 hours I was gone, stubborn
little creature.)

and rode in her stroller without
complaining (yeah again, my back is breaking from the baby bjorn).

Yay! I find the sling to be pretty easy, but everyone else
opts for the stroller (which she generally likes, and
doesn't ride in when she doesn't like it).

I feel human for
the first time in weeks.

Yay! We're in "wake every hour to nurse" mode, here. After
3-4 days of it, I finally figured out that if I just latch
her on, as opposed to trying to figure out why she's waking
every hour, we all get more sleep and feel more human.

I don't doubt someone will.
