10-hr stretch

She slept for 10 hours straight without needing to nurse last night! She woke up maybe once, and cried out a bit, but quickly fell asleep. This is the longest she's EVER slept through the night, ever! Before this, it was maybe 7 hours tops without waking, and 8 hours tops without feeding.

DH "stuffed" her full of cereal (1-tbsp) and carrots (1-tbsp) before bedtime last night, and then she also nursed, so I guess she had a pretty full tummy. Eating solids is not her favorite thing to do. But I was surprised at how much she ate yesterday evening. It's the most she's had in solids at one sitting.

This morning, I could see some orange (carrots) and even cereal in her poo. I remember being told at the pediatrician's office that she would go through periods of lots of poo and then no poo. Hannah has never really gone through a "no poo" phase (not over a day), because when she doesn't poo, then the next day she has a TON of poo. But that has not happened very often, that I can recall. She's pretty regular. I guess she just doesn't use up all of what she takes in.

She's pretty chubby and her folds...oh, they're so difficult to clean. She's quite active, but not a hyper, high-strung baby. She's very mellow overall. Hopefully she'll start burning more calories. She rolls everywhere now, but hasn't started to crawl. She loves to stand and of course jump in her jumperoo (though for a few days upon 1st returning from FM last week, she didn't like the jumperoo).

So she's been sleeping rather well all day. The fire marshalls came for an inspection today, and the LOUD BEEPING of the smoke detector testing woke her up. I'm thinking we'll get in 3 good solid naps today. Sleep begets sleep.
