Georgia started the week off well. She slept through the night! She'd had a couple of other nights recently where she slept for 7 hours but unfortunately those nights started earlier so I still had to get up to feed her. Now even though SHE slept through the night, I of course was waiting for her to wake up and feed. She has started smiling a little too. Ben said she smiled at him last week when he was touching her cheek and I saw her smile at her musical giraff. Yesterday I took her to my parents' house and as soon as my dad held her she started smiling at him. I was starting to feel offended or that maybe my face was so "old news" to her that I wouldn't get smiles but I got them out of her this morning.
I took her to the pediatrician this week because she started having diarrhea and I was worried about her getting dehydrated. She's okay and the doctor said it should go away in 4-5 days but possibly up to 2 weeks. But b/c of the diarrhea, she's hungry every 2 hours unless she's asleep. Before this she was eating every 5 hours. While we were at the doctor's we got her weighed. She's 9 lbs 12 oz (gained about 2 lbs from her birth weight and has grown 4 inches).
She got her baby acne this past week also but it seems to be going away now. What a week! And now we're off to her cousin's first birthday party.

Wow! She was feeding every 5 hours?! Eli still feeds every 2-2 1/2 hours when he is awake and it extends to 3-5 hours if he is asleep (day or night). I long for the day when his feedings are more spread out!
Smiling is so fun!! Eli smiles now, too, and it is too cute!
You look wonderful Carrie! I can't believe Georgia is such a great sleeper. Yeah for you...hope you get to enjoy many more nights full of sleep.
