Awesome Baby!

I have an AWESOME baby-I'm so grateful! She's hitting all her milestones early, gaining weight at an amazing rate...I'm so proud! After the first night home I was SO worried that she would NEVER learn how to latch on and breastfeeding wasn't going to work and I would never get enough sleep again, but thankfully that first night was the only rough night we have had. The following day she and I figured out the whole breastfeeding thing and how it was going to work for us (thank goodness-formula is expensive!). Since then, she has been either sleeping through the night or only waking up a maximum of twice to eat. And even then it's super easy! She starts kicking her feet, I wake up, put her on the other side, and she eats/falls back asleep-EASY! 
I read something the other day that said babies at this age cry an average of 2 hours a day...I don't think Kaelyn cries a total of 5 minutes a day! It's easy to tell what she wants LONG before she wants it, so we don't even get to the crying stage. It's fantastic. During the day she only eats every two hours (totally do-able) and sometimes takes a short nap. If she even starts to look unhappy there are lots of things that make her happy: walking around in the apartment, going for a walk in the stroller, getting in one of her baby carriers and going outside, sitting on the porch, taking a bath, or swinging. 
In the past week she has started drooling excessively and chewing on her hands/my fingers. After some research and a good bit of feeling around in her mouth, I figured out she is teething. I almost cried to think that my 10 week old is teething, but it's just one of those things that some babies do earlier than others. And it doesn't necessarily mean that she is CUTTING those teeth, just that they are sore and making her gums sore. For now, chewing on my finger seems to satisfy her when her gums hurt. Hopefully that will last for a while. We've all heard horror stories about cutting teeth and it's been so good so far that I don't want those issues! 
K Jo also took her first real trip to a pool this past weekend-SO cute! She had her little bathing suit and swim diaper on-adorable. They don't make bathing suits (That I was able to find) smaller than 6-9 months so her suit was a little big but that just made it even more cute. She was a little sleepy when we first got in, but ended up wide awake and quite happy. 

I tend to get nothing done during the day because I'm too busy cuddling, talking to, and just looking at Kaelyn. I'm OK with that! She also currently sleeps in the bed with me, which I've been told is a no-no~ but I'm such a light sleeper that I wake up as soon as she moves. Plus she won't sleep anywhere except next to me so I'm all about doing what works for us. Don't get me wrong, we are trying to transition to a bassinet, but it's definitely a slow transition. So for now it's cuddle time for mommy! I'm loving every minute of my little princess while I can...I'm pretty sure her teenage years won't go by quite so nicely :D
