4 weeks old already!

Wow, the time is flying by. Daisy is doing really well, and seems to be getting more alert each day. She has the most beautiful eyes, the same shape as Jamie's, but it looks as though they are going to be brown rather than blue like his. I love it when she locks her gaze onto me.

We are managing to get out quite a lot. I went to the children's centre family morning with both of them today. Luckily Daisy likes to be in the sling, which makes chasing around after Jamie much easier. We have also been to a breastfeeding support group several times, and also a mum and baby group. It's nice to meet other mums with similar-aged babies, although all of the ones we've met so far have been much older than Daisy, and it's amazing to see the difference in size that a few weeks makes. She still seems so little!

Last Friday, Daisy and I went out for a meal with some friends as she was so good - just slept in her sling the whole time. And for Father's Day, we all went down to Saunton Sands for the day. Jamie had a great time on the beach, Wayne got to go surfing, and Daisy slept a lot, must have been the sea air!

Breasfeeding is going well, so much easier than it was with Jamie. Daisy feeds for about 10 mins max and generally goes 3 hours between feeds. This is the same at night though, which means 2 wakings. I was hoping she might be down to just one night feed by now, as I think Jamie was at this age, but I guess we'll get there in time.

Generally, she's quite different to Jamie in her likes and dislikes - she doesn't like having a dummy, being swaddled or taking a bottle, whereas Jamie liked all those things. We aren't co-sleeping anymore, as we've got her to settle at night in her moses basket. She does like to be held though, and has an unsettled period each evening where only being held and rocked will do.
