95th percentile...what?!?!?!?

fiona had her doctor appt this week and she came in at 95th percentile across the board. talk about total 180 from the first time we did the whole kid/chart thing. olivia started out strong at a whopping 50th percentile initially and then quickly moved down to the 5th percentile. i don't hold too much in the charts, but it is fascinating to see our 2 month old weigh more than half the weight of our 3 year old! fiona is just a big girl all around. it's a good thing. one less thing to worry about in the large spectrum of postpartum worries.

and the sleep thing seems to be getting into a nice pattern as well. it is quite interesting how much more experimental i am this time around with the nap routine than i was before. and i am finding that if she has 2 solid naps, even at 2.5 months, we are almost guaranteed a good night's sleep (alseep by 8pm and up by 430ish). with olivia, i was so worried about 10 things at once, that i never really stopped to concentrate on one thing like naps or sleep patterns. it was more like...she needs to nap and why isn't the breastfeeding working and should i swaddle her and should we do a binky and can i get to the movies. with fiona, i am trying a different approach of focusing on one thing at a time.

another lifesaver is the sleep sheep. i swear by this thing. i had never heard of it until recently and it is doing wonders for our sleep world. it has 4 settings and we tend to do ocean and rain. basically, you turn it on right after you have put them into their cosleeper/crib and the sound lulls them to sleep. i had started having fiona fall asleep on her own during nap time using this sheep and then we carried it into the evening routine. brilliant, i tell you!
