Weight: 12 lbs 14 oz (75th percentile)
Length: 23.5 inches (75th percentile)
Likes: Cuddling & being held, playing with the toys on her playmat, "talking," swinging, making funny faces, watching tv (when it's on, she can't look away), kicking her legs, smiling
Dislikes: Being hungry, having a dirty diaper, doing tummy time for longer than 15 minutes
Eating: From day one, Hazel has been a great eater! She loves breastfeeding, and we continue to feed on demand. She has recently settled into somewhat of a routine, and she eats roughly every 2-2.5 hours. Although she still eats pretty frequently, her time nursing is getting shorter as she becomes more and more efficient at it.
We've been trying to give her a bottle once every few days to get her used to it before I go back to work. Some days she'll take it no problem, but other days she fights it. Last weekend was the first time we could not get her to take the bottle at all, which honestly is more than okay with me, but makes me nervous for daycare in a few weeks.
Sleeping: Hazel isn't on a set schedule yet, but we try to follow an eat-play-sleep routine (although many days it's more like eat-play-eat-sleep). She naps well, and at night she usually gives us a 6-7 hour stretch. When we were at the beach over Labor Day, she was sleeping more like 8-10 hour stretches! Although that was short lived, we're still really happy with our current schedule. Now we just need to get her bedtime moved up (she's continued to be quite the night owl!)
Milestones: Smiling when she sees or hears her mom or dad, following us or her toys with her eyes, batting and grabbing toys on her playmat, the 'mini push-up' during tummy time, lifting & holding her head up, bearing weight on her legs when you hold her in the standing position, cooing and babbling
