Erika is now three months (and one day!) old! I weighed and measured her today - 5.08kg, and 60cm long. That's the same length as Kira was at this age, but 300g lighter (funny, since Erika was 300g heavier at birth!).
Erika tends to feed 2-3 hourly still, but sleeps well at night - once she's crashed, that is. Sometimes she'll crash at around 10pm, but lately it's been more like 1-2am. But once she's down she'll sleep through til about 8-9am. I think she's having another growth spurt at the moment, so her pattern's a bit out of whack. I can't wait until she's settled again and sleeping better at night.
Erika said "Mum-mum" the other day! I'm sure it was just a sound she made accidently while she cried, but I'll take it all the same!
And she plays "peek-a-boo"! She does this a lot during her feed - pops off the breast, gives me a huge grin, then quickly snuggles back in and resumes feeding for a moment, then pops off again! She started doing this with her wrap the other day! She'd hide her eyes with the cloth, then peek over the top, then hide her eyes again! So cute!
I've made a start on her mural, but haven't gotten too far. Erika Skye has sky!! And a couple of hills, but that's it so far. It's hard to find time to paint, when she wants to feed so often, and Kira is often around, too. I really don't need her help with acrylic paints - can you imagine the mess?!
