Six Weeks Old!

Dear Jo-Jo,

Today you are six weeks old! Here are some things you are up to:

• You are smiling a lot! You've been smiling for a while now, but it has really picked up the past week or so.
• Your acid reflex is much better, and the new medication seems to be working. Mommy is still on a dairy-free diet, too. You are much happier now compared to a couple weeks ago.
• You are sleeping really good at night. After we put you down, you sleep 6-7 hours before getting up to eat. Then you go back down and sleep 3-4 hours before eating again.
• We are still working on getting a more regular nap schedule down. We are also working on getting you to nap in your bassinet or crib. You only want to nap while Mommy holds you! However, the past few days you have been napping well in the wrap sling. At least then Mommy can have her arms free!
• You love being outside. We try to spend time outside and go for lots of walks if the weather is nice.
• You are still a hungry little girl and like to eat a lot!
• At your one month appointment (which was really at 1.5 months) you were in the 50th percentile for height, weight, and head circumference! You wear size newborn clothes and newborn diapers.
• You are becoming more and more interactive everyday, and we love watching you discover the world around you!

We love you so much, Josephine! We are so happy to be your parents!
