Misha: 2.75 months (12 weeks)

Still trying to figure out the best schedule for my posts. Sometimes there's so many things I want to write about but its so busy that by the time I get to it, I've forgotten half the stuff!

So here goes....

2/11/2013: Misha laughed for the first time. I've heard her laugh in her sleep but this time it happened after a feed. I was 'talking' to her and she suddenly laughed. Twice!

5/11/2012: Took Misha to the pediatrician (decided to use Dr. Chan in Puchong) for the pneumococcal vaccine. She was kinda warm the following day but nothing that needed medication.

My cousin left on the 31st but we were still busy with other things. Deepavali was on the 2nd which was also my Dad's birthday. And Jing's sister also had her reception on the 2nd so we had quite a few things happening around this time. Things have finally settled down so it will be interesting to see how Misha adapts to our routine.

E(ating)
Nursing no issues. Still working on the bottle. It's easier to give her the bottle when she's drowsy so we tend to do that nowadays. She still doesn't take more than 90 ml at a time though.
Update: 6/11/2013...after a bit of resistance she finished the bottle (90ml). Burped her and gave another 30ml which she also finished. This was about 4.5 hrs after the last feed (she was asleep from 10.15-11.05pm) Woke up and seemed hungry
Pooping is getting more frequent now (averaging at once daily).
I forgot to mention that Misha also spits up quite a bit. Not as much as Meera used to but it still happens. Lately though it's getting better. I also notice if she nurses too long there's more spit up so I try not to feed her to much. Every once in a while I try to feed her after burping and it always results in milk coming out. I have to believe that she is a really fast nurser (she's usually done in 7-8 minutes. Sometimes 6!)


A(ctivity)
I'm trying to incorporate more regular tummy time for her. The first time I did it (after such a long time), I was surprised by how well she managed. She had her head up for quite a while before she tired out. Still needs work but considering how little opportunity she's had, her neck muscles are quite strong. I think it also helps that we have her propped up a lot so she does get to strengthen it.
She's also not as clingy as before. Used to be I had to carry her almost all the time or she'd be fussing. But now she can handle some time on the gym mat or on her rocker. She's also starting to notice the bears hanging on the play pen so I am going to get her an actual mobile for the crib.


S(leeping)
So far she has been waking up quite late in the mornings...around 10-11 am. So bedtime also has been late (around midnight).  But with Meera starting school things are gonna have to change. I also notice she only takes very short naps (around 45 minutes).
