Weight: 10 lbs 12 oz

Height: 21 in

Sizes: Size 1 diapers, 0-3 mo clothes (newborn is too small!)

Routine: Natalie sleeps majority of the time. She usually wakes up around 6 am and stays up for 30 min to 1 hr stretches, then she naps all day with awake times in between. Sometimes she naps 30 minutes before the toddler wakes her up from running around yelling. Other times she'll nap for 1-2 hours. She usually takes a long nap in the afternoon. She requires a lot of help to fall asleep. I have to swaddle, use the pacifier, shush her and rock her or walk around. Sometimes she'll fall asleep while nursing and other times I have to go through the whole routine. She's going through a little colicky/gassy phase where she gets really cranky around bedtime. I'm using gas drops, gripe water, and massage, so hopefully those nights will be the exception, not the rule! Natalie sleeps in bed with us and usually only wakes up to nurse 2 or 3 times per night.

Likes/Dislikes: Natalie likes her mobile, lights, her big sister, and taking warm showers. She does not like being cold AT ALL! Nor does she like being tired.

Milestones: Attended first B-Day party, first trip to Albuquerque, first smiles between 3-4 weeks, holds head up for a few seconds at a time.
