1 month = 1 kilo!

Lily had her 1 month doctor apointment his week: she's gained 1 kilo and 5 centimetres so she's now at 4.2 kilos (9.3 lbs) and 53 cms (20.9 inches). I'm very proud! all else is ok according to her pediatrician who wasn't very talkative but told us the essentials. Otherwise she's her usual adorable self - when she sleeps:) - which hasn't been very often lately. The past 3 days have been kinda rough with her sleeping very little if any at all. I'm hoping it's a growth spurt or some other temporary phenomenon. She had been sleeping stretches of 4 hours the past 2 weeks (some of the nights) which was amazing but we're not getting any more special treatment!. I have to admit i get pretty cranky "waking up" completly exhausted in the morning, it's tough getting no sleep! As all parents we've become acquainted with a few techniques which work more or less depending on lily's mood:
-feeding: my department and her favorite activity by far - she keeps sticking her little tongue out whenever she's awake - she eats about every 2 hours these days...her usually pattern is to get really excited initially and drink really really fast which makes her choke quickly so i have to stop her and burp her before we can proceed -- already a food addict like her mommy says her dad.
-the pacifier: her BEST friend and she's already perfected a funny game called "i spit it out and you pick it up":) i know she can't be doing it on purpose yet, she's too young, but it feels like it. It's part of the fussy, hyper behavior we've been accustomed too in the past few days - lots of fun!:)
-rocking: lucian's is THE rocking master, with the foot when she's in her bouncy seat or by hand when she's in bed like last night when she would not fall asleep under any circumstance
-music: not a sure bet but works well in combination with rocking
-holding her in our arms, also works well with rocking
-the car: a sure bet -- too bad i can sleep while driving, i'd be hitting the road every night
-the stroller: also pretty effective but more difficult to manage at night
-the baby carrier: pretty good too and easier than the car or stroller
