Cluster Feeding

When Scotty says it, he gets ‘the look’ (and maybe a smack), but today I can say it… I’m a cow! Kayden has been doing nothing but feeding for the past two days! Every two hours nearly to the minute she lets me know it’s time to feed. I was having a hard time believing she needed to eat so often so I convinced myself that I must not be making milk and that’s why she keeps hitting me up to eat. I researched it and I’m pretty sure I am making plenty of milk, she’s just going through a growth spurt. Scotty and I agree, we really feel like we are seeing her change right in front of our eyes. She is getting bigger and seems to be beginning the process of understanding the basics of the world. And oh yeah, she is purposefully smiling!! I was changing her diaper yesterday and I tickled her and she smiled. I made faces and tickled her again… she smiled!! I did the same thing three times and each time she smiled. The fourth time she cried, so we let it go! Kayden is an amazing baby and I feel so lucky to be able to be at home with her and watch all these fun things happen for the first time! We are finally finding our pattern at night and during the day. It’s not hard to figure out really- sleep, eat, poop, and repeat (all in that order). The only thing to understand or get use to is that she is needy right now and I am the only one who can really give her what she needs. Scotty is great about helping when he can, but there is only so much he can do. We do daily photo shoots so here are just a few of the pics that I took. She is wearing her Ed Hardy onesie and of course her Mary Jane socks. Why? Because every outfit gets a little classier with Mary Jane socks!
