I'm not sure how to explain the fact that I've given birth to a tall daughter. And she's still growing! The newborn onesies my mom brought don't fit anymore. They are fine in width, just not in length. All the nice sleepers that people got for us are now too short from shoulders to butt, and definitely have too small of footy for the long feet that Natalie is sporting. And I just bought size 1 diapers cause I think she is pretty much outgrowing the NB size. I'm completely amazed.
On a different note, Natalie and I are starting to get used to each other. She definitely recognizes my voice, my touch, my smell. And together we are getting into more routines. She fusses quite a bit when she has a soiled diaper, so we are going through them like water, but whatever. When we are in the car and she is crying, the ABCs song calms her down, and definitely calms her much quicker if Alli sings the song! She is definitely an outdoor girl. She loves looking out the window and today I found she just loves hanging out outside. Good thing Mom cleaned the outdoor sofa for us - we are spending way more time out there just hangin', looking at all our cool plants that now adorn the patio, and telling stories.
She's doing a great job sleeping at night, going for 4 hours at a time. I'm pretty sure we are down to only 7 feedings a day instead of 8. I do wake her up every 2-1/2 to 3 hours during the day so she eats, but I'm growing more and more tired as the weeks roll on, so I'm not as rigorous with the schedule at night.
I can't believe how quickly the time is passing!
