Weight: 11.2 # (On our scale, clothed and diapered)
Clothing: Elliet can still fit into most of her 'newborn size' clothes, so we are trying to get the most use out of those right now. She does wear some 0-3 month clothes, which are still a tad to big on her.
Diapers: Again, newborn diapers fit Elliet the best. However we ran out of the newborn size last week, so she is now wearing size 1 diapers. (maybe a little too big, but they work)
Eating: I made the decision to quit breastfeeding last week, so Elliet now drinks the Nestle Good Start - Gentle formula. She eats 2-4 oz about every 3 hours. We are not on a schedule yet. We let Elliet tell us when she's hungry and how much she wants to eat. Last week she was definitely going through a growth spurt and would eat 4 oz every 3 hours. This week she is only interested in 2 oz. So far the formula is settling well with her tummy.
Sleeping: Elliet still sleeps quite a bit throughout the day. Her favorite daytime spot to sleep is on our chests or in her swing. She usually naps for a few hours, wakes up to eat, and stays awake for about 45 minutes to an hour before repeating the cycle again. At night she sleeps in her crib, and has since the day we brought her home. She wakes up every 3 hours or so to eat, and then goes right back to bed. Elliet finally figured out her nights and days (knock on wood, please!). She was wanting to stay up after her feedings - week 2 was very tiresome! We are definitely looking forward to the 4-5 hours stretches of sleep!
Personality: Oh Ellie - you are already a high-maintenance kind of girl! (Don't worry, your big sister was at this age too) When you are awake - you like attention. You like to be held, walked around, and sat up-right. You also like to snuggle :) You are just starting to really look around and check things out. Who knew a curtain could be so fascinating?! You are usually content for the first 5 minutes or so if we lay you on your play mat - and then you're bored.

Growth/Development/Health:
+ blue eyes
+ starting to loose your hair up front
+ have held your head up since week 3
+ already sitting in your bumbo chair for a few minutes
+ tummy time since day 9 (the day your cord fell off)
+ coo/smile in your sleep (cutest thing EVER!)
+ starting to enjoy bath time (except when I wash your hair and when it's time to get out)
+ your cry sounds like a cross between a piglet and a pterodactyl
