Gabby is 7 weeks old today!

She is much more alert these days although still takes 4 naps a day. She is cooing a lot and babbling. She is starting to try to grab for things, mostly my necklace (Sofia was also obsessed with it). She has a very happy disposition, and I've gotten really good at telling when she is tired vs mad vs hungry vs wet. I am following the Babywise schedule much better than I ever did with Sofia and it's going great. She eats every 3 hours and is up for about an hour then goes down for about a 2 hour nap 4x/day. After her 7:30pm feeding she goes to bed at 8:30pm, then we wake her for a "dreamfeed" at 10:30 before we go to bed and she has been sleeping until anywhere from 3-5am - 3x this week she made it to 5am! And she doesn't eat much at that middle of the night feeding so hopefully she won't need it for much longer. Wouldn't that be nice to have a baby that sleeps through the night at 8 weeks?! The book says between 8-12 weeks is what most babies on this plan do. Sofia slept through the night at 5 months which was still pretty great. But she still hates naps and going to bed to this day.
