A day in the life of Kayla

She loves to lay back and relax on the boppy after being fed.
Kayla loves to look at this dress while we change her diaper. I guess she likes the colors and the contrast from the wall. She mostly looks at bright colors and lights now days.

Before she got her diaper changed today. She has a pretty bad diaper rash and cries almost everytime we wipe her now days. I feel really bad, but it has to be done. Boudreax's Butt paste is seeming to work pretty well.
Kayla with daddy in the evening. Here she was very alert, happy, and trying to talk. Saying "a-boo", "a- goo", and "a-gi".

Kayla usually wakes up around 8 or 9 and stays awake for about 4 hours in the morning. She's alert and sometimes talks to us. She can be fussy during this time if she is uncomfortable, hungry, or just simply wants to be held. I try to put her in her bouncy chair so that I can get stuff done, but she usually doesn't like it and loves to be held. Its a challenge to figure out her fussiness sometimes. She usually goes back to sleep around noon and wakes up for another long 4 hours around 5 or 6. Then she's up till about 10 or 11. As you can see, our lives are run by when Kayla eats, sleeps and is awake. We love spending time with her though. Daddy is good at talking to her and it seems that she waits for him to come home. She loves to look at him. She eats about 2-3 hours. Sometimes more and sometimes less. She's going through a growth spurt right now though and she eats and sleeps alot. She's an amazing 13 lbs already. She eats really good, when she's not pooping it out the other end. She does that alot too. I'd say she goes through about 10 dirty diapers a day. All of them have some sort of poop. I guess thats normal for breast fed babies. Overall thats her schedule. I get nervous when she gets off her schedule, but it doesn't seem to phase her much. She's pretty easy going as long as she's fed and comfortable.
