Aren't babies supposed to start sleeping better as they get older? At 14 weeks Ellie was sleeping 11 hours with only one waking. Now she sleeps 10 hours with 3-4 wakings. Ellie has become quite the 24 hour snacker, which I am sure doesn't help the sleep situation. I can't seem to get her to nurse for more than 10 minutes at a time before she wants to move on to something else, like playing. I found a gray hair the other day; I think I know where it came from.
Ellie has really discovered her feet. She thinks that her toes are handles for grabbing on to. This can make getting a diaper on her quite a challenge. Note: a baby's bottom is not the same shape when her feet are pulled up by her face as it is when her legs are outstretched. This means that if we put Ellie's diaper on while she holds her toes, and then stand her up, the diaper is suddenly way to loose and starts to fall off... Ahh, the things they don't tell you about in the baby books.
Since it has been awhile since we posted new pictures, here are a few recent ones:
