18 weeks and 19 weeks

18 weeks

19 weeks

Not too much going on around here. Mike has been super busy with the Holiday Season gearing up. I have been trying to get some things done around the house. I feel like everything in my life right now is in a perpetual state of chaos. Nothing seems to get completed and I am not really sure how to change this. Any suggestions on this too would be appreciated... (see below post -- I am in need of lots of suggestions these days!)

Kaitlyn had her 4 month checkup on Sept. 27. (at 16 weeks old)

• She was 15.3 lbs
• 24 in tall

That was about 75-80% for both. Kaitlyn is meeting ALL of her milestones brilliantly. She is trying to sit up like crazy. Any time she can, she is pulling herself to a sitting position. (then she promptly falls over face first!) She is loving toys -- cannot get enough of them and gets really frustrated when she repeatedly drops them. She is spending a lot of time in her bumbo. She seems to really like this - way more than Ryan did. Of course, he was only able to fit into the thing for about 3 weeks. Then his legs were just entirely TOO BIG to fit. She is doing a little better in that category.

She still has the acid reflux. Though, I am thinking that this is fading a bit. I weighed her this week at 19 weeks and she is right at 16 lbs. She is looking at herself in the mirror and just giggling. It is so cute. Within the last week she has started to get somewhat consistent with her naps. She sleeps about 30 min (maybe twice) in the morning -- and then I put her down at 1:30ish when Ryan goes down and she has been sleeping between 2-3 hours. AWESOME!! Then, around 5ish she goes down again for 45min-1 hour. She has stretched out her feeding also. She usually has about 5 feedings every 24 hours. They are 4 hours apart during the day and she is still waking up once at night about 3am. I don't know why she is doing this because she has slept through the night before. She just doesn't seem to want to. She woke up numerous times last night, but I just kept giving her her pacifier and she ended up lasting until 6:30am this morning before eating. That is 10.5 hours. (not bad)

She is really happy and loves to be in the middle of things. Ryan seems to be a constant source of entertainment for her. Very cute to watch.
