Molly's not eating much!!!

Molly is 2 months and 2 days old today. Francesca is at school. Molly is all of a sudden only drinking two ounces at a time and driving me nuts! It's so stressful. She's supposed to be eating about 4 ounces every hours. She sleeps mostly in the swing and sleeps a lot. She can only stay awake 1.5 hours which includes about 30 min of feeding time. Hoping tmr is a better day.

Francesca is spgetting smarter every day. Tonight, I spelled out iPad and she figured it out! She's also stringing sentences together hat I've never heard. She's still super picky with food. Tonight I gave her a bath and when I finished washing her, I left the bathroom for a minute and she climbed onto the side of the tub - BAD.

15 month appointment

Lil F had her 15 month well baby appointment today.  She's no longer "lil."  In fact, she's off the charts in height at 33 inches (that's almost 3 feet).  And I'm about 5'11, hahha.  Here are her stats:

Ht 33"
Wt 24.10 lbs
H/C 471/2 cm

And she wasn't well.  She is still extremely congesting and has a cracking cough.  It's no longer a croupy cough though.  She started having the croupy cough last Tuesday.  Ever since she started daycare 2x a week, she has been sick non-stop.  Poor baby.  Yay, I get to see her in 45 minutes!

little F's food and sleep schedule

My beautiful little F is such a good girl.  I can’t believe how lucky I am especially after hearing the stories from my friends and reading about other babies her age on-line.  I know I shouldn’t associate being a “good baby” with how she sleeps, but she’s a “good baby” in numerous other ways in addition to being a good sleeper.  She turned 6 months yesterday and this is her schedule:

5:30 a.m. – awake for the day

6:00 a.m. – Bottle 1 (about 7 ounces and some baby food)

9:00/9:30 a.m. – Nap 1 (1 hour or 1.5 hours)

10:30 – Bottle 2 (about 7 ounces)

2:00/2:30 – Bottle 3 (about 7 ounces)

2:30 – Nap 2 (1 hour or 1.5 hours)

6:00/6:30 – Bottle 4 (about 7 ounces and some baby food)

7:30 – bedtime

I have 5 days off in a row during President’s day so I would love to shift her entire schedule to be later so that her bedtime is 8pm and she wakes at 6am – that would be perfect.  I hear that some babies sleep 11, 12 and 13 hours straight a night, but Dr. Ferber says that is the case if naps are short.  Since little F always has good naps, 10 hours a night is exactly where she should be – not too much, not too little.

The next thing I have to obsess about is how to space out her bottle with her solid food.
