Summary of Week Seven




 Sophia's seventh week was from June 13 - June 19
  
Weight: We go back to the Dr for her 2 month check up on July 1st, so we will know then!
Health: Thankfully, we are still doing great health wise! I have noticed she is starting to get a flat spot on the back of her head.  I've read that it's normal, but I will be sure to ask about it at our next appointment.

Sleep: Sleep was sooo much better this week! We were able to get back to our normal routine, which made this Momma very happy! I never thought that I would be a Mom that schedules her baby's day, but it makes such a difference for how smooth the days and nights go that now I cannot imagine NOT having a schedule. Right now our schedule looks like this:
7:00 AM- Up for the day, diaper change and eat and play
8:00 AM- 10:00 AM- Nap
10:00 AM- Eat, diaper change and play
11:00 AM-1:00 PM- Nap
1:00 PM- Eat, diaper change, and play
2:00 PM- 4:00 PM -Nap
4:00 PM- Eat, diaper change and play
5:00 PM- 7:00 PM -Nap
7:00 Eat, Diaper change and play
8:00-9:30- Nap
9:30 Bath and eat after
10:00 down for the night
At night, she sleeps from 10:00 PM until about 3:00 AM or 4:00 AM.  She eats and goes right back to sleep until 7:00 AM.  Also, on June 19th, Sophia slept through the night for the first time! She slept from 10:00 PM until 7: 00 AM.  I, of course, woke up at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00...but I was still super excited!  Sophia's first nap (8:00- 10:00 AM) is always her best.  She goes down easy and for the most part, wakes up right after the two hours are over. The other naps are hit or miss.  Some of them she will wake up after about an hour or so, but she has a tendency to wake herself up by breaking out of her swaddle.  I ordered a Miracle Blanket yesterday, so we will see if that helps!

Social: She is still paying attention to us when we're speaking to her. She loves looking around and taking everything in.
Diet: Thankfully, we are still doing great nursing.  She nurses for about 8-10 mins. on one side and about 5 on the other.  This week she has started eat just on one side and then she's done.

Clothes: Still moving into those 3 month clothes.

Baby Gear Loves: We are really loving the Bay Einstein play mat this week! Typically we do about 10-15 mins of tummy time on it and sometimes I lay her on her back to play with the toys that are attached to the top.  She kicks and kicks and loves looking at them.  I have put them on the opposite side that her flat spot is on to encourage her to lay her head on that side some.

Crying: When she's tired or hungry.
Likes: Bath time, mommy and daddy, being talked to, smiling, talking to the frames above her changing table.
 

Post Partum:  Still feeling great!
