3 weeks old = growth spurt

Our baby girl is 3 weeks old today! We can't believe how fast the time has flown by. She is such a good baby and we are so lucky that she is an amazing sleeper (knock on wood!). These past two days we've noticed a growth spurt where she's been feeding every 2 hours during the day and is sleeping a lot. Otherwise, here's what she's been up to these first 21 days of life:

Drinking 4-oz bottles every 4-5 hours
Likes Avent and Tommee Tippee bottles best
Usually falls asleep right after a feeding, sometimes stays awake for 30 minutes first, then sleeps until the next feeding
Doesn't like the paci very much, only takes it occasionally between feedings
Sleeps in the co-sleeper beside our bed, but prefers to be in her carseat inside of the co-sleeper
Starting to like the swing more and more but prefers to be held more than anything
Screamed during her first bath, but now loves them
Getting better at tummy time
LOVES being swaddled (especially in receiving blankets) and promptly falls asleep within 10 minutes of being wrapped up
Still fits into her newborn outfits
Wears newborn size diapers

This has been an incredible year and we're so happy to be a family of four now. Looking forward to watching our kids grow in 2011! :)
