World Breastfeeding Awareness Week: My Breastfeeding Experience

I talked briefly about my breastfeeding experience on this blog. However, I made a YouTube video, giving more details about it. Please check out my video, that I filmed just a few days after World Breastfeeding Awareness Week:

Word of the Day: Sixteen

My munchkin is 16 weeks old today! In just a few days, she will officially be four months old! Here is a list of all the things Munchkin has mastered since being born:

-she has a clear preference for Mommy :)
-she can hold her head up without assistance
-she has different cries for different things: a hungry cry, a sleepy cry, and an "I want attention" cry LOL
-she does A LOT of social smiling
-she automatically knows when she is in prime breastfeeding position
-she doesn't cry after baths anymore
-she had hold gazes easily
-she can wiggle close to Mommy when laying next to me :)
-she can stand up for long periods of time (with Mommy's assistance, of course)
-she can sit up for a period of time without automatically toppling over
-she coos a lot and can make baby noises (talking attempts) for 30 minutes or more
-she has trained us to hold her in certain ways: either seated upright or standing up
-no more constantly balled fists! She's learning to use her hands to explore her surroundings
-she does a lot of drooling-teething is imminent
-no more random sleeping! She now sleeps for 6 hours stretches (even longer, if she gets a diaper change and a feeding while she's sleeping.)


And, since I've been gone for a while, updated pictures are in order ^_^




Look for more updates soon-things have been hectic, but I'm about to transition into working mommy mode next month! Talk to you WAY before then :)
