10 weeks

Canaan is doing well. I started nursing her again a little over a week ago now and it seems to be going well. She has been spitting up more than she was on formula, but the other issues have not returned. Due to a friend's recommendation, I purchased the Breastflow bottles which have worked well. These bottles are good for babies that go back and forth between the bottle and their mother. I think they were a great purchase!


Some other recent facts about Canaan

  • Her hands and feet are the same size as her 6 month old friend. We are not sure if his hands and feet are small or hers are big. She has got some long fingers and toes.

  • She has outgrown some of her 0 to 3 month clothes. She is too long for both the short outfits and the outfits with footies. Not all brands are the same size.

  • Canaan is noticing the toys hanging from the bar on her bouncy seat and the bar on her floor mat. She also likes to watch the lights that go on and off on her bouncy seat.

  • Canaan likes to have her hands up by her face or under her chin while eating. They often get in the way of feeding her. It is so cute when she holds her own hands.

  • She is growing so big so quickly!

  • We have a web cam that we have been using so Grandma and Grandpa can see Canaan. She met two of her cousins over the web cam.

  • She is still enjoying bath time. She generally hangs one of her feet over the side of the sling in her bathtub. She is very calm during bath time.

  • She is continuing to smile and coo more.

  • Canaan is still sleeping well. Most nights she sleeps through the night. Every once in a while she will wake up around 4 am.

  • It is taking its own sweet time, but her hair is starting to grow in more. It is hard to see in pictures though.

  • She often crosses her ankles when she's sitting/laying down.

  • Being on her mother's milk rather than formula definitely makes her smell better.

  • She is getting better at holding a pacifier in her mouth but still loses it often.

    I'm SO glad that the diet is helping and that you've been able to start nursing again. What a blessing.

    I completely echo Bethany's comment! Praise God for this answered prayer!
