8 weeks

Both mama and Mira needed to take a food break in the car during errands last week. 

Yes, that's a Doritos Locos taco :)

Today Mira is 8 weeks! She's still having some troubles with gas, but giving her tummy time is really helping. I think it's finally starting to get better. I also had my first experience with her crying screaming in public when I went to Target last Tuesday. She is one vocal little girl. I thought if I took her out of her carseat and held her in her favorite position, she would eventually stop, but nope, she just cried worse. So I got to enjoy every. single. customer. staring at me. Needless to say, I did not get to the bottom of my list. She can go from smiling and cooing to having a crying fit in a matter of .5 seconds, so we never know how trips to the store are going to turn out.

We are taking our first trip tonight! We're going home to Crookston to stay with my parents. There's soo much to pack.

Mira loves:
Her activity play mat
Kisses
Getting her diaper changed during the day
Sleeping on mom in any way possible
Bathtime (95% of the time)
Peeing in the bath (every single time)
The sound of running water
Car rides
Stroller rides
Getting fresh air
8 am
Grabbing my hair/necklace/bra strap, just about anything she can get a hold of
Looking in the mirror
When daddy comes home from work - she is all smiles!

Mira does not like:
Getting her diaper changed in the middle of the night
Being swaddled
Being burped. Especially in the middle of a feeding!
Sleeping on her back

Stats: 
Weight: 11.5 pounds
Feeding: Still exclusively breastfed
Diaper size: Size 1's, probably moving onto size 2's once this package is gone
Clothes size: 0-3 months and some 3 months. Odd how much sizes vary between outfits, even when they're still the same brand. I was so sad the day I realized she grew out of her newborn sized clothes. I still try and squeeze her in a few of them.
Development: She is trying so hard to crawl and/or roll over. She is one hyperactive baby, and I should've known that judging by how active she was in my belly. We also stuck her in her bumbo seat for the first time last week, but she is still unsure about it. She's talking more and more and doing random little squeals (yes, adorable).

 Her first time ever in the bumbo seat. 

Starting to like it more :)
