8 Weeks!

Only two big things to add since last week's 7 weeks post:

1. Mia slept through the night....twice! On Monday night Mia slept from 10:15 until about 3:45 and on Tuesday from about 9:30 until about 3:15. It is felt great to get such a large chunk of sleep! I woke up around 3:30 on Monday pretty uncomfortable and was actually relieved when she woke up 15 minutes later (probably because I checked on her!). On Tuesday, I woke up a few times uncomfortable and pumped after she ate at 3:30. Unfortunately, her streak did not continue on Wednesday night, but we were out shopping for most of the afternoon and she slept in her car seat all afternoon. As a result, she had to make up a couple feedings and we saw every hour last night.

2. Mia is getting really close to sitting up! She is gradually lifting more and more of her torso off her boppy or boppy lounger each day by herself. Today, I propped another little pillow behind her on the boppy and she sat there for quite a while  and was able to right herself if she leaned too far to one side or the other. Of course she gets worn out pretty quickly, but her endurance is getting better and better. As she gets stronger, she tolerates tummy time better. She had a great stretch today and paid attention to her new Crawl along Snail.  She even was able to push her self enough to roll over. I think this startled her a little bit, but she was pretty proud (or at least happy) to be on her back!
