Today marks 6 weeks since C joined our family... in some ways, it feels like a lifetime and in other ways, it feels like I blinked and we're already at this benchmark!
6 Things @ 6 Weeks
* C now weighs 12.5 pounds (!!) and is 23 inches long.
* C loves to cluster feed at night before bed. I try to be bothered by it, but really? This sweet chunker wants mommy snuggles and I am more than happy to oblige (as long as I can eat at the same time).
* C is no match for the Baby Bjorn. I think all but one time she has been defeated and asleep within 5 minutes of being snapped into it! I love baby wearing but am still trying to figure out how to get her out of the thing without waking her up. I know, never wake a sleeping baby. But this kid is huge and my back can only take so much at a time. I'm building my strength :)
* C is almost halfway through reading Charlotte's Web. She's pretty into it ;)
* C has already traveled to 5 cities in Wisconsin. She's kind of a seasoned traveler. It's hard to know her favorite, but I imagine it was her trip up to the cabin.
* C loves to be swaddled. She may look like she's in a straight jacket, but she does much better when she's wrapped up. We're at a point of trying to figure out if she's a colicky baby or just a fuss bucket. Hard to believe we're already halfway to the three month mark!

Try a soft structure carrier like become or ergo. It is way nicer on the back. I use mine with max (25+ lbs) and I can wear him for a few hours with no problems
