8 weeks old

8 weeks old

We seem to have a very very good baby (so far...). She is sleeping through the night most nights - she has her bath at 6.30pm, then a bottle and the bed at 7ish and usually asleep by 8pm at the latest, she then sleeps all the way through until 6am. Amazing, our little alarm clock!

We have taken the moses basket out of the cot and this was the first night she slept through. She stretches her arms out so I think she just relaxes a bit more and doesn't hit her little arms on the side. She looks so adorable when fast asleep.

This is Sienna's first trip in a supermarket trolley. I usually just take the pushchair around or stick the car seat in a small trolley but no have worked out that she loves being in the actual trolley. I think she just loves seeing everything. She even had her first tantrum when I took her out of it too!

Dan and I think it's very important to try and continue our lives the best we can with little Sienna in it. We've taken her out to restaurants with friends and she just falls asleep in her car seat in the corner, not a peep out of her! Such a good little baby, it must have been all the racket she had around her when she was in my tummy. She must be use to the noise, and love her sleep of course!

There must be a downside to her seeping well at night and there is.... she very rarely sleeps during the day and LOVES being carried around constantly!! She screams when left to play on her own or even when I pop her down just so I can go to the loo! I am tried to wean her off it as there is no way I want her to become a clingy baby. I'm hoping it's just her age and she will soon learn to amuse herself.

One thing our little bubs just suffer with and that is a lot of boggies, especially in the morning. I put few drops on Olbus Oil on a flannel in her cot to try and help her sleep and this just keep it a little clear but doesn't get rid of them completely. We have to put a Sinus spray in her nose each morning, then suck the boggie out with a tube type thing. Dan telling me a friend at work mum sucks it out with her mouth.... rank!!! It does help and she feels so much better afterwards but she absolutely hates it at the time! Poor thing.

Mum and I took her for her first jabs at 8 weeks. Poor thing didn't know what was coming and then had two injections, one in each thigh. It was the first time I heard her scream with pain and it was so upsetting. She recovered after a couple of minutes but I am definitely not looking forward to the injections when she gets older.
