Today, Braylen is 6 weeks old. She is getting so big! We are so in love with this sweet girl. She has started laughing and it is the sweetest thing I have ever seen or heard, we will try to get it on video so I can upload it to the blog. She is growing more and more everyday, it is evident by the fact that her newborn clothes are starting to get too small. So maybe she’ll be in 0-3 month clothes pretty soon. Especially since we have WAY more 0-3 month clothes.
We have had a breakthrough with sleeping. Last week she stayed awake for like 3 days with only little naps here and there. I was way passed exhausted, she was way passed exhausted and oh so fussy. She wasn’t hungry, had a clean diaper, didn’t want her swing or bouncey seat, and wouldn’t take a pacifier (no surprise there). So Allen said let’s lay her in her basinet and just see what happens. We did and she cried for all of 30 seconds, and went right to sleep. I, on the other hand, cried for about 30 minutes, just because I was so sad she was crying and the fact that I had only slept for about 6 hours in the past 36 hours probably had a little to do with it. And then it happend…
Braylen slept ALL night!!!
Now, we swaddle her up, lay her in her basinet and she’s asleep in like 2 minutes. AND she doesn’t cry AT ALL… she just goes to sleep. Sometimes she sleeps all night and sometimes she wakes up for about 30 minutes to eat. She has been so much more alert during the day now that she gets a good nights sleep.
I managed to take a few pictures of her today… She has been a little spoiled today, and has wanted me to hold her A LOT. So in the 15 seconds that she was happy and awake without me holding her I took these…
Happy 6 Weeks Braylen Kate!
