Misha: 14 weeks

Sleeping
Lately Misha does not nap so well in the car seat. For the past 2 days, when I put her in the car seat to send Meera to school, she does not fall back asleep. She will be up for most of the ride and sometimes fall asleep in the car. Tuesday (19/11) she woke up (8am) and stayed up the whole time. At 9.30 am I figured she'd be tired enough to sleep so I put her down in her crib and she slept past her 45 minute transition ( this is a first in a very long time!). I could hear her moving about but she managed to go back to sleep. Since then she has been taking a few naps that are longer than 1 hour so I guess she's past the short nap stage (sigh of relief). It might also be that I have started to lengthen her wake times (right now its around 75 minutes).

Bed time is still a work in progress. Not sure what time to put her down. 

Eating
Misha has always been a fast nurser. And she never seems to need any comfort sucking so feeding sessions are quite short. Lately it's getting even shorter (under 5 minutes)! Except for the night feeding (which typically happens around 5 am)....she will nurse for 6-7 minutes.
Occasionally I try to offer her the other breast after burping but so far she has refused (she will suck and then gag and turn her head away...so I know she's done).
I have yet to notice any increased feeding due to growth spurts (still doing 6 feeds with roughly the same times.)

She doesn't spit up much nowadays. I still notice her tops getting wet but it seems more like drool. She's always sucking on her fingers (I have given up on the pacifier since every time I try she seems to gag on it).

Bottle feeding is still a challenge. Most days she is very resistant to the the point that she is half asleep before she takes the bottle (at which point I guess she's too tired to fight anymore.) This defeats the purpose of giving her a bottle so she has no issues when I leave her with someone else. Not sure what to do about this but we plan to keep trying once a day and fingers crossed she gets used to it (or is willing to accept it).

Milestones
This week she is starting to hold on to things. If you put something in her hand she will hold it. And when I carry her upright, her arm will hang on to my shoulder.
I also notice that she spends quite a while staring at the baby gym toys...she seems fascinated by the patterns along the arch.
