What is else is going on with Madeline Claire?

Eating: Nursing about 8-10 times per day. She drinks a bottle of breast milk every once in a while. Lately, if I leave her with a bottle, she will drink about an ounce, and refuses to drink any more of it.

Sleeping: She is sleeping much better. Her pattern is still a little unpredictable, but she isn't staying up until the wee hours of the morning, most nights. She goes to bed about 11:00 and usually sleeps until about 4:00...nurses again at 6:00, and is up for the day about 8:00. She takes a long morning nap about 10:00, an afternoon nap at 2:00 and cat naps in the evenings.

Temperament: Easy going and sweet. She only cries when she is hungry or overly tired. She is sometimes a "hip monkey." She loves to be held.

Other things: She is smiling, cooing, and laughing. She has grown out of most of her 0-3 month clothes, and is wearing mostly 3-6 month outfits. She wears a 1-2 in diapers. She loves a little panda bear I bought her to be on her face when she is sleepy. Oh, and she loves enormous bows in her hair! She is super fun.
