I recently wrote about how Cora is often happy in her crib looking at her mobile and on her changing table, looking at her "BABY" sign and her hand and footprints. Here is the photographic evidence...And a shot of her with her pacifier, or dummy, as her dad of course uses the English term.
This morning we were surprised to be awakened at 3 a.m.! It was the first time she has wakened that early since she was 2 weeks old (five weeks ago). She ate voraciously, she must be hitting another growth spurt. Babies are supposed to hit a spurt at 6 weeks, so she's due for one. Still, after going to sleep after her early feed, she didn't wake to be fed again until 9 (at which point she acted starving again; six hours is a long time!). From mom's perspective, since I'm blessed to be at home with only one little Cora to look after, it doesn't make a difference for her to wake at 3 or at 6, as long as we both get that long stretch until 9. Generally, she is still going to bed between 10 and 10:30, and sleeping until either 4 or 6/6:30. Oddly, she rarely wakes in the 5 o'clock hour.
In other news, we've noticed recently that Cora startles much more easily and often. During her first month, she hardly noticed noise, and we could practically run the vacuum in the same room she slept in without waking her. Now, if she's nursing and I speak loudly to Stace in the next room, she just about jumps. Today she startled when I pulled the string to start the sound on her musical Pooh bear.
