Misha: 13 weeks

10/11 Misha loves the song 'Wheels on the Bus'. I was changing her and singing the song and she kept laughing and smiling.
11/11 I've started to try putting Misha to bed just by laying her down in the crib, swaddling her body and legs (I stopped swaddling her arms), and just saying shh and patting her. Today I tried it for 2 naps and it took bout 5-10 minutes.
12/11 Misha is sick...very bad runny nose. She had trouble going down for naps. Kept sneezing a lot.
Night sleep wasn't too disrupted...woke around 2 am and had to pat back to sleep.
13/11 No longer resisting the bottle
She is getting more interactive with us. Laughing a lot more.
Typical schedule:
7.45 am: Send Meera to school (she's usually asleep so I'll carry her downstairs and put her in the car seat.
8.30 am: Still asleep (I usually just leave her to sleep in her car seat. Tried to move her out but she wakes up. so I've decided to leave her in it). This is when I try to do laundry and whatever I can prepare for dinner.
11 am: Wake up (this is actually quite unpredictable. It can be as early as 10 or as late as 12 pm!
Once she wakes up I'll feed her. Then wait a while (so she has time to digest her milk) and give her a bathe. Typically, waketime is about 1 hour before she gets sleepy.
12.30 pm: Nap (she only takes about 35 minutes naps). During this time I quickly shower and have lunch.
1.30 pm: Feed
3.00 pm: Nap
4.00 pm: Feed
4.30 pm: Fetch Meera (sometimes she sleeps during the ride)
6.30 pm: Feed
7.00 pm: Nap
10.30 pm: Feed (we give a bottle for this feed. Right now it's 150 ml)
11.00 pm: Bed
 5-6 am: Night feed

So right now she's having 6 feeds a day and 3-4 naps.
