She now weighs 7 lbs, 11 oz (an 11 oz increase from last week, 3 oz past her birth weight).
She is now 21 inches long (3/4 inch increase from last week, 1 full inch past her birth height).
This puts her in the 50th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height!
We discussed some ways to help the sleep situation (remember that one time when I bragged about how well she slept? BAHAHAHA). One of the things the pediatrician suggested might help her get into regular human-beings-sleep-at-night-and-play-or-work-during-the-day routine is to limit her daytime napping. One of Charlotte's favorite things to do is take marathon naps on Grandma Val (this is one of Grandma Val's favorite things, too). Sorry kiddo, we're gonna keep an eye out for these!!
Along with naps on Grandma (well, naps on lots of people...), Charlotte also enjoys:
*smacking her lips
*sucking on her hands & arms
*sucking on other people's hands & arms
*staring at things
*sneezing
*eating
*staying up REALLY late
*saving up for a big ol' blow-out... giving mommy the perfect excuse for adorable bath time!

David had massive confusion about day and night as well - one thing our Dr. said is at night make sure the house is as dark as possible and just do the essentials - change diaper, feed, etc. NO playing, singing, tickling, etc. He said this helps kids understand that nighttime is not a play time - it's a sleeping time. It started to work after about 2 weeks -
Good luck and SLEEP during naptime! :)
Don't worry Charlotte,,Instead of our marathon snuggly nap times we'll have marathon play times instead!!!! :) :) Love, Grandma
