Evie's Best Night Yet

Evie had a rough day yesterday--she wanted to be held almost constantly and was crying a lot even when held, and after being changed and fed, etc. She finally calmed down by 9:30 p.m. so we all went to bed.

She only woke up once during the night--at 2:30 a.m. and didn't get up again until after 6, which is awesome! We think it might be from all of the crying herself into exhaustion, but who knows?

Evie also got her first bottle from daddy yesterday. She did well with it and we will keep trying bottle once or twice a day until she really gets the hang of it--then we can try a date night for us and not have to worry about her not eating. She still does not seem to like pacifiers much and I am at a point now where I am thinking maybe we should stop trying to use one--if she doesn't like it and can be soothed in other ways, why not use those? Every time she has taken a pacifier she only hangs on to it for a few minutes anyway. She keeps trying to suck on her hand (her entire hand) so maybe she'll figure that out and do it instead?

Over the weekend, Evie and I went to two restaurants and I managed to discreetly breastfeed her at both, so it is nice to be able to go out and about and get everything done without having to come home. I think we are getting the hang of all of this!
