Sadie's been eating like a champ and at only 3 weeks, has gained 15% of her birth weight. She's clocking in at over 9 pounds and has already started outgrowing some of those adorable newborn outfits that I couldn't wait to dress her in. Luckily for us, she requires a total wardrobe change approximately three times a day, so there's no problem making sure she gets plenty of wear out of them.
I think that Reid and I are starting to adjust to her "schedule", if you can call it that. A relatively good sleeper for a newborn, Sadie's evening goes something like this:
10-11 pm Eat
11-2 am Sleep
2-3 am Eat
3-7 am Sleep
7-8 am Eat
8-10 am Sleep
...and so on and so forth. You get the idea. Anyway, we consider ourselves fairly lucky that she sleeps in 4 hour blocks through the night. It could be worse!
Somewhere in there is also some fun time known as "active alert" and "quiet alert" states. These are very short bursts in which she likes to look at black and white toys, make adorable faces, and push up on her tummy. "Tummy time" doesn't last long before it degrades into a total crying meltdown, but we keep trying anyway---she's definitely getting stronger!
