Fussy Pants!

For the last week or so, Emily has been very upset before each feeding. She used to sleep until her bottle, and took a bottle every 4 hours. She was on the 6-10-2 schedule. Lately, she'll start getting fussy somewhere between 2 and 3 hours after her bottle. We thought it was just allergies waking her up because she makes a "snorting" sound when she cries. Fortunately, she's still sleeping through the night. So, it's probably not her allergies. We think maybe she's just going through a growth spurt and wanting more of her "milks". She had been eating 5 oz. every 4 hours. I looked it up on the internet and DJ called Emily's nurse and both said to "up the milks". So, we're doing 5 1/2 - 6 oz. every 3 hours. Her nurse, Vicky, said that a lot of times 4 month olds go through a growth spurt, so we're going to try this. Also, Vicky changed her 4 month appointment from April 14th to March 30th. So, we'll see what the Dr. says on Monday. I'm sure we'll be starting rice cereal.

Also, Emily has been trying to sit up (it's her new thing). I'll pull her up sometimes and let her sit by herself for a few seconds. My hands are always behind her back, and she can balance for a short time by herself. She's such a big girl!!!
