Piper Eight Weeks Old

Today Piper turned eight weeks old. The biggest development over the last two weeks is that she is smiling at us. We have continued to work on tummy time but it doesn't last very long because she is constantly rolling over from her tummy to her back. She has also started to hold rings in her hands.

At the "Breast Feeding Bunch" today we found out that she is continuing to gain weight. She currently weights 10 pounds 5 ounces which means she gained 5 ounces this last week. Over the last week we supplemented 6 ounces a day. Over the next week we are going to start cutting back to 5 ounces and the 4 ounces a day.

Piper loves to talk to us. We will try to post a video of her talking soon.

Piper has also starting to become more independent while sleeping. Last night we were able to get her to sleep from 9:30pm until 3:30am in her crib waking up once to eat. This is HUGE progress people! Hopefully by the time she is 3 months old she will be sleeping in her crib regularly instead of in bed with Mommy.

Below are some recent pictures of Piper.
