bath.

little miss finally likes her bath! at first we used the hammock thing when she was itty bitty and now she sits in there like a big girl. it's part of our nightly routine even if we don't use soap every night. we've started to let her "soak" and it's definitely her favorite part of the day....mine too. she sits in there with a warm washcloth on her top half and one on each leg. then we just keep putting warm water on them so she doesn't get chilly. we may or may not give her a little foot massage too. (spoiled. rotten.) last night we were letting her soak and she was looking to the side making the sweetest noises. so stinkin' cute. she sounded so content and peaceful. she'll try to suck on the washcloth but i don't really let her. sometimes she sneaks it in her mouth though. who would have thought that giving her a bath would actually calm her down?? so glad she likes them now. after her bath she hangs out nakey for a bit and gets her last little burst of energy out. then snuggled in her footie jammies, bottle and she's knocked out--at least for a few hours. :)

*update on formula and sleeping. she teased us with 2 nights in a row of sleeping 8.5 hrs then another 3. hasn't done it since (that was mon/tues it's now sat). for about 3 days we had a pretty good "schedule" going and then of course she abandoned it. :) just when you think you have it figured out. so she's eating 4 oz of formula before bed (8ish) then up at 1, 5/6, 8. i don't know what's going on with her. we'll keep on trying!
