Autumn is one week old today. Her schedule consists of sleeping and waking up every one to four hours to be fed. She eats for five to fifteen minutes and falls back asleep. When upset, she usually isn't consoled by anything but Mamma's milk. Pacifiers don't work for her. Daddy can get away with feeding her formula so Mamma can sleep for a few more hours at night. Daddy has given Autumn several sponge baths this week. She likes them. Autumn has been for two walks with Mamma and Daddy to the church parking lot. All walks end in a bit of crying. It's hard when you're so hungry.
Autumn is showing a desire to roll over and desperately wants to lift up her head. She smiles at Mamma and Daddy. Her trademark look is her “Evel Knievel” look which she uses when she begins to nurse. She likes to bite Mamma if not encouraged to latch correctly. Autumn has several nick names. One of them is Mautumn. She got this one from a child in Idaho Falls who thought Autumn was a dumb name but Mautumn would be a cool name. Daddy uses this nick name when Autumn cries. Mamma calls Autumn “Velociraptor” but only when Autumn chews on her. Other than then that she is usually Autumn or Princess.
