I can't help myself!
I love her like crazy!

We had doctor's yesterday ... and she's doing amazing!
she was nine pounds in the hospital but by the time we had gone to the doctors last tuesday she was 8lbs 8oz. ... they said it was normal but I was so upset!
Well yesterday she was 9lbs 3 oz... she gained 11oz. in one week!
she's a chubba butt for sure!

Anywho here are some pictures I took after her bath.

Shocked she's so cuuuuute! Wow, those cheeks! She is such a little beauty!

Yeah, breastfed babies tend to lose more weight at first than formula-fed babies. Usually they see it as great progress if they even gain back the weight they lost from birth. 11 ounces, yowza! Sounds like Bella's lovin' the boob! Laughing

Oh man... I have tons of baby pictures of me but she's identical to ger father.
I was pale and bald!
but I was a pretty chunky baby!


She is doing so well on the boob! Laughing
Well I'm still bottle feeding her as well.
I've learned that if I give her abit of breast milk by bottle she'll go on my breast no problem afterwards, but if I try to put her on first she get's infuriated... she's pretty impatient.
Right now I'm having a lot of trouble finding a bottle that works... the slow flow nipples seem to frustrate her, but everyone tells me she's to small for anything else Confused

She eats and eats and eats... but she's so content and alert after a good feeding I love it!

i love her! i wish i could hold her! you should be one proud mama!

i've heard that breastfed babies who also get bottles should *always* use the slow flow nipples. if you move up to a larger size, they'll realize how much easier it is and no longer want the breast.

i can't get over how beautiful she is. I always have said that chubby babies are so much cuter than skinny babies because they have the big chubby cheeks and they look healthier... your so lucky to have such a beautiful baby girl. Laughing
