Sleeping and Eating
*We're trying to get into a nap schedule but are having a difficult time either having her at home in the window where she's ready to sleep or when we do, she's only been napping for about 45 minutes at a time. I'm hoping she'll naturally lengthen these times and start napping longer around 10am, 2pm, and a cat nap around dinner time instead of 3-4 45 min naps.
*She's had a rough week with my stomach flu messing up her eating schedule (my milk production dropped bc I was sick so she was wanting to eat more often and during the night for a couple days and it got her into a bad pattern of waking up during the night). The goal now is to get back to where we were-sleeping from 7pm-7am with a dream feed around 10 or 11pm. Then we'll try to drop the late night feeding. Before this week she was eating every 3-4 hrs and we're shooting for every 4 hrs now-around 8, 12, 4, 8
Development
*She rolling over really well from her front to back but not at all from back to front yet
*She's "talking" a lot! She's started saying "da da da" this week-her first real consonant sound!
I stole the chart below from a website and the blue things are the things Sadie is doing and oranges are no-gos :-)
