11 weeks

Kaitlyn’s 11 weeks old now. Her colic is getting better although still have her one hour of pain between 6 to 7 in the morning and a bit of restless time in the evenings. Last night was almost a miracle. We went out to dinner with family and friends for my mother’s birthday. Kaitlyn was on her best behaviour, the whole time, sitting quietly in her pram observing everything/everyone around her. She was extra adorable in her pink bunny suit. We got home, fed her, bathed her, and turned up the heater a bit, and put bedtime lotion all over her. After that, she actually went to sleep without any cuddle time, in her cot. And she slept frmo 9pm till 1am, then again from 1:30am to 5am, 7:30 to 9:30am. I was so amazed. We are going to try the same routine again tonight and see if she can repeat the same performance. :D

She grew out of the 000 size now (that’s 0 to 3 months size), and now onto the 00 sizes (3 to 6 months). She’s quite a long baby! Although I am a little worried about her lack of weight gain in the last 2 weeks. I hope she is getting enough to eat… She has enough wet and dirty nappies though, I am unsure of why she’s not putting on weight. Patches of her hair is falling out and patches of new hair is growing. Her hair is now darker, going from a dark blonde to light brown. Her eyebrows are growing and darkening too, from the platinum blonde they were to now a darker blond that you can see.

She also had her 2 month vaccination shots last week which gave her 2 days of fever, and gave us a very cranky baby. After 2 days though, she’s good as new again. I felt so sorry for her when she got the needles… she was screaming SOOOO loud! and there were so much tears. Yeah, she gets tears now, and it makes her crying even harder to handle…

Oh and I breastfed Kaitlyn in a restaurant last week. I really didn’t mean to but not very long after she was fed (in the parents room’s breastfeeding booth), she got hungery again and won’t stop crying while I was starting my lunch. The only way to stop the crying was to feed her again, so I did, in the middle of a restaurant. Granted it wasn’t busy (only two other people eating at the time), and I did cover up, it still felt like a huge deal to me LOL. People are fine with it though. I think I got more a surprised look from the waiter when I ordered a second serving of the Spag Bol than that I was nursing a baby in public.
