scarlett smiles so often now, i love the early morning feeding when it's just me and her soft coos.
she is sleeping for such great stretches now. usually i do one last feeding at 11 pm and she will sleeping until 5 am. and she'll be awake by six, so we just cuddle until amelia comes and wakes us up.
i honestly haven't set a 3-hour eat/sleep/play routine. scarlett eats when she's hungry and sleeps when she's sleepy and plays when she's happy. it's worked for us so far, but maybe we'll get on a schedule soon?
holding her neck up so well, loves to sit up facing out staring at the action, hates tummy time, can support her own weight standing up.
is a little pooping machine.
wears newborn clothes and size 1 diapers. and not nearly enough bows on her head.
loves her bink, but i've seen her sucking on her fists when it's not available
7#11ounces, 22 inches long
for the longest time, i worried about not being able to give enough attention to amelia with a new baby. it finally hit me this month that i have never given enough attention to scarlett. heartbroken, i laid down at night and reflected, as i do every night, on how i could do better as a mother. no phone. not even during that breastfeeding session while amelia is napping (because it's one of my only one-on-one times with scarlett). it makes for longer days, but my goal is to put my phone down when either of the girls are awake.
amelia is so sweet to her baby sister. when i'm busy in the kitchen and scarlett starts crying, she always runs over and shushes and loves her. it is so heartwarming that she is such a little mom! she grabs the diapers for me and throws them out for me and watches me bathe scarlett and gives her kisses. my heart is just full.
