Coos and Conversations

Just two days ago you started to have conversation with us. You make little cooing noises, and then I coo back to you, and then you coo back to me, and so on. We have begun having conversation! This is an important milestone. I expect that you already have a lot to say and you are just dying to communicate. I'm listening Ella Mae!

You have had an interesting few days and I think you are going through a growth spurt. Yesterday you decided not to nap at all. You slept for maybe 15 minutes at a time, if you slept at all. But you weren't cranky at all, you were just awake. I could tell that you were tired though, because your little eyes get red. We went to Office Depot and you kept shaking your head back and forth to keep yourself awake. That is how committed you are sometimes to not sleeping.

When we got home, you eventually passed out in your crib around 11pm and slept until 5am! This is the longest stretch you've slept since you were born. Then you ate 4 ounces and slept for another 3 hours. What special treat for Mom! I actually felt pretty rested this morning.

Today you took only one nap in the afternoon for about 3 hours. You weren't cranky at all thought, and were in a very good mood. You were so good while I was at work, just keeping me company. I love having you there with me.

I can tell that you are eating more and we have switched to the larger Avent bottles. You have also already outgrown some of your 0-3 month clothes. I'm going to have to pack these away soon, you are growing up so fast.
