I didn't hear her wake up at all last night. I woke her up at 7am by changing her diaper - and she was definitely not pleased. Fed her 3.5 ounces, and put her back in her crib, where she's getting in the sleep position.

Caroline begged to go out, so we took a trip to Barnes and Noble to see Steph, then to Target and Linens and Things to look for a changing table. She just finished 5.5 ounces starting at 5:15.
Caroline woke up around 8:45, was happy and loud for about an hour, and then ate 4 ounces starting at 9:45. She's quietly hanging out in her jumperoo now.

She did it again -- this time in the jumperoo. I would have taken a picture, but I discovered the orange, gooey eruption when I picked her up and my arm was covered with the foul sticky mess, and my priority was to remove the glop from both of us and then the carpet. Yes, she fouled the carpet.
She's cute and quite explosive.

She was making the hungry motions, so I just finished feeding her another 2.5 ounces to keep her happy until mommy comes home.

Caroline is sleeping peacefully in her crib after her evening bath and feeding. She's been in there for a good 3 hours now. I've been taking baby breaks to go check out her angelic little face as I've been working on the massive amount of schoolwork I have to complete for tomorrow. Jay is taking a well-deserved break from his childrearing duties.
After a walk to the school for a fresh milk feeding around 11, Caroline took about a half hour nap in her stroller. She's hanging out on her animal mat now, cooing.

8:05 am - very wet, changed her diaper. 8:57am - fed her about 5 ounces of milk. She's in her bouncer now, content.

Caroline had a tiring day. She went to Barnes and Noble to meet our former roommate Steph around noon. Then mommy came home around 1 to feed her, and she played in her toys for about an hour. She napped from 2:30 to 3:30, and then played for 45 minutes. She's been napping since around 4:15.

After a bad night, Caroline napped from 8:45 until about 10:20. Fed her about 4 ounces starting at 10:45. She's sitting in her bouncer now, making happy noises (which are the same noises she made about 1:30am last night, but they sound much better now).

Caroline was up and dirty at around 8:15. Held her for a while after the diaper change, and then she played in her jumperoo and bouncer. Fed her 4 ounces from 9:20 - 9:40.

Caroline is extremely needy today, and begins crying if left unattended for more than 5 minutes. Fed her 4 ounces at 12:45. She's in the jumperoo now, sucking on her fists.
She was up and quiet at 8:30 when I went into her room. Changed her diaper - very dirty. She didn't like the diaper change at all. Calmed down when I put her in the bouncer. Feeding her 5 ounces now.

Caroline slept from about 10:30 to 11:50. Fed her 5 ounces starting
around noon; she just finished eating and is talking to me from the
jumperoo.
Took Caroline for a 45 minute walk to the a mini mart to get some
coffee and a newspaper. She was alert but cool most of the way there
and slept most of the way back. An older lady customer at the store
had to touch her hand and talk about how cute she was, so her hands
were washed as soon as we got back. Fed her 4 ounces from 9:05 -
9:30. She's chilling in the bouncer now.
She woke up at 7:40, very wet. I had to change her sheet, but her previous caregiver failed to tell me where sheets were. Discovered she has a ridiculous collection of clothes, so many that she'll have to wear 3 or 4 outfits a day to get through them all. Considering not using diapers, and just letting her soil her clothes instead - we have enough such that they can be disposable.

Caroline just finished eating about 4.5 ounces (starting at 4:05 and
ending at 4:33), and is pleasantly drowsy.
Nap time approaching. Played in bouncer and jumper for a bit, cried a bunch, and is now laying on me fighting sleep. Plan on feeding her in about 15 minutes.
Cheryl's first day of school (orientation), so my first day in charge. Grandparents Zukowski were here until about 12:45. We went outside and waved goodbye. Met the neighbor (Walker?) who offered to do our yardwork (not sure of the price). Caroline looked like she was about to cry, so we went inside and sure enough, she did. Held her until she fell asleep around 1, and then successfully transferred her to her crib. She slept until about 1:30, giving me enough time to eat some lunch. While checking her diaper, she ruined her outfit, so is now wearing a pink gap onesie. She's sitting in her bouncer now, getting fussy. Picking her up...
