For the past 5 nights, Charlotte has gone 5+ hours between her last "mommy is awake" feeding and her first "let's wake mommy up" feeding. I say 5+ because it has ranged from 5 hours a few nights ago to 7.5 hours last night! Notice how I described the feedings not by their time though - we don't really have any consistency as far as when she eats. We have worked our way towards 3+ hours between feedings during the day, but they never seem to be at the same times from day to day. Last night she ate at 10pm then again at 5:45 this morning, the previous nights she last ate at 8:45, 9:37 and 9:00 and then again somewhere between 2:30 and 4:30am. All the books say she is still too young to have a set schedule, so i'm guessing it is still ok to be a bit unpredictable. The nights are definately getter better, and that makes for a happier Mommy during the day!
In other news, we think that our smiles will soon turn into full on laughter. Nana reported that while Mommy was out shopping yesterday, Charlotte did "everything but laugh." She is definately enjoying playtime more, and greets us in the morning with the biggest smiles. What a great way to start the day - even if it is early!
