Fleshing out

Jayna is growing well! *grin*

She is now able to be awake and alert for 3 hours at a stretch to interact with me and sleep for 4-5 hrs at one go (May the extended sleeping hours happen more often at night than during the day as time goes by...) There have been a few times when she can sleep at bedtime without crying. (Seems like she's getting the idea...) She is drinking a little better and takes a shorter time to finish her milk which comes as a relief for us esp during the night feeds. (Although she still splutters during her feed and needs to be burped at least twice.)

Developmentally, she is better able to follow the animals on the mobile while they move and can stay engaged for a little longer than at first. (10 min now as opposed to the 2 min in the past! Hahaha... Bet you were thinking of a longer duration. :P)

See how she smiles at them?

Also, she is gaining weight, not that we know how heavy she is now since we dun have a digital weighing scale, and filling out her clothes nicely as you can see the difference in the pics below. In fact, she has already outgrown the tightest mittens I bought for her and moving onto the looser ones. She no longer wears the newborn size diapers and has graduated to the 'S' size.

I pray for Jayna to sleep through the night soon so that Joshua and I can have uninterrupted sleep once again. :)
