I was secretly hoping that Chloe would sleep longer at night and eventually sleep at least a 5 hour stretch at night (or maybe even more) given the fact that friends have told me the baby started not needing the 3/4pm feeding around this time. No such luck I guess with our fussy baby! She's been waking up almost every hour after about 2am every night till it's morning and has been spitting up and crying quite a bit. Oh and I've been pooped on twice now! 3 times for Daddy and 2 times for Mommy! Chloe has also not been sleeping a lot during the day either unless she is held or rocked and pushed or in a car. I doubt she's getting the 15-16 hours of sleep she needs which probably makes her even crankier. And around 6pm - we're definitely seeing evening fussiness (though she can be pretty fussy throughout the day).
On a happier note, Chloe has been a lot more aware of her surroundings. She's been cooing and even smiling (with her eyes open) a lot more and really seems to be interacting with people. The last couple days, she was refusing to drink from the bottle, but for some reason, once we get her to focus on a painting or picture on the wall, she'll be willing to drink the bottle. So basically it takes two people to feed her - one holding her facing a picture and the other holding the bottle...sigh!!!
Here is a video I sneaked of her in the morning. The past couple mornings, I've left her in the bassinet and chatted with her and I have to say, she's pretty darn cute!
