Now that the baby is in some kind of schedule I think I have got to get myself into one. I never bothered before, but now… there are just too many things to do and not enough time to do them all!
Generally I feed her at 7.30, 11.30, 3-3.30, 6-6.30 and 9.30-10.30 and she stays up for about 1.5 hours after each feeding (except the last one) before going down for a nap. Which gives me 3 blocks of 1.5-2.5 hours during the day.

And… she has learned to suck her thumb. :-/ Moreover, she can now hold her own bottle, though she doesn’t do that good a job. I can’t wait ’til she can crawl, although everyone tells me I’ll be sorry then. I love her delicate, squirmy little hands.
We bought her a Bumbo Seat and started using it the moment she turned 12 weeks which is when they say you can start using it. She’s already trying to climb out of it.
We made her a crib mobile out of bamboo cut from the yard, some leftover ribbon, and a few random objects that we had kicking around. Buying mobiles and other baby toys is SO expensive! I still think it would be cool to make wooden toys someday. Not much time for it now. It’s…
