Your baby is growing as fast as mine! Mine is now 4 months old and in a size 3 diaper, wearing a 6-9 month, and is about to outgrow his car seat. (At 8 weeks, he was about the size yours seems to be and then thankfully slowed down the growing just a little bit.) I'm also exclusively breastfeeding (we tried my baby on formula as a just-in-case back-up for when I'm working part-time, but he wouldn't even take it, so we're just building up a back-stock of breastmilk in the freezer) and it's hard work, but Damian hasn't even had the sniffles yet, so it's obviously agreeing with him. In a month or so, you should be able to start getting a little more sleep at a time and maybe even start to have the occasional sleep through the night! On a good night, I'm getting 6-8 hours of uninteruppted sleep now! On a bad night, though, Damian just co-sleeps between my husband and I in our king size bed so I can get back to sleep faster. We tried the bassinette thing, but he just didn't like it. Babies are picky little things, aren't they! But I adore

Haha! I also tried back-up formula, and while I can kind of get him to drink it, he obviously doesn't like it, and it doesn't agree with him at all. It makes him cry!
I'm starting to think the 'guidelines' for how baby grows are made for formula fed babies. I don't know anyone in my everyday life that breastfed exclusively, and some of them didn't even try. My sister called me a formula hater because I said I didn't want to give him formula unless I had to! But I mean, we have the very best food for our babies right in our bodies. Why would I do anything else unless I had to? The benefits of breastfeeding are overwhelming! But my sister apparently thinks people are saying their babies are better than hers because she gave up on breastfeeding... People are kind of touchy, heh.
He coos and smiles now! He likes to stare at stuff. <3 Getting more sleep would be awesome, heh, I was starting to think I wouldn't be getting more until he was on solids! We co-sleep with our baby a lot, too. He likes to sleep with us, or in his swing. Not so

After smelling formula, I think I would cry giving it to him! Fortunately, I've got an over-supply problem rather than an under-supply. When I get enough built up of my own back-stock, I think I'll start donating to the milk bank at the local hospital

Hmm, I've been watching Fairy Tail (just enjoying the show not really pimping any OTP), and I'm REALLY surprised that there's not more Natsu/Gray. REALLY surprised. I thought I knew fangirls better than that, lol. =p
