Update


Ivy's 8 Week Checkup
12 lbs 6 oz
24 inches
(close to 90th percentile on both of those)

She's growing like a weed!!! I can't believe it!
She loves to be held and rocked. Also, we got a new bouncy seat and while I wouldn't say she loves it, I think she enjoys it some of the time. I am loving it because I can bounce her without my arms getting tired :) Sometimes she'll "talk" to me now, which is sooo fun! And if you notice her gloves in the picture above it because like so many babies she keeps scratching herself. (Thanks Lanette for lending the mittens to us!) She slept for 5 hours straight the other night which was awesome!!!!! Her diapers have begun to explode on occasion, usually while in my lap...thank goodness for stain stick! She also peed on the changing table in the mother's room at church because her mom (yup that's me) wasn't fast enough putting the new diaper under her. Thanks to my angel for the day, Paulette, for helping clean up!

I'd love to hear how you other mothers get stains out and also how you help your child enjoy tummy time. Leave a comment if you have any advice :)
