Here are a few pictures I took of Alexandra yesterday. She is getting so big! She has officially grown out of her newborn clothes. She is wearing most of the 0-3 month clothes and some of the 3-6 that run small. I think she is on the verge of outgrowing the size 1 diapers. They leave red marks on her chunky thighs.
We are starting a night time routine with her. She seems to be doing well with it. We start sometime between 7:30 and 8:30...she gets a bath, dressed in her jammies, snuggle and feeding with me, then she gets snuggle time with Josh where she usually ends up falling asleep. We keep her in the living room with us until we go to bed. If she happens to wake up during the living room to crib transition, I change her diaper and feed her one more time. We are still working on our bottle problem. I decided we are going to give her 1 bottle everyday so she can get used to taking one. So far, the Dr. Browns are a no (but I may try them again because I have the most of those), Playtex Drop Ins: no, Medela: big fat NO, and Avent: yes, with some work. She took 1 ounce Monday, 2 on Tuesday and 3 tonight. I gave her the bottle the first 2 nights and Josh did it tonight. I need to get this little one used to taking a bottle from other people otherwise we are never going to be able to leave her. Not that I want to any time soon, but still, it would be nice to know she isn't going to starve if I'm not there!

I love her diaper cover! Totally adorable! What is the name of the place you order the personalized stuff from? Soooo cute!! And YAY for bedtime routines! Collin knows it's bedtime now (since we've been very good about a bedtime routine since he was about 6 weeks old: bath, jammies, snuggle, paci, book, rock and then crib)... he puts him self to sleep now and it's so nice! Good luck with everything Jamie!
I love her little smile! Too cute!
