Captain, she's breaking up!

We've shifted to size 1 diapers.  We tried to use up all of the newborns, but had a couple left before they were simply too tight. Unfortunately, size 1 seems to be fraught with epic blow outs.  Why isn't there a size in between?  I've got several pairs of pants upstairs waiting to be washed that came home from daycare and a onesie from last night that took a beating.  Ugh.

The other struggle we're having right now is with mucus and snot.  She isn't sick, but she never shook the snot/boogers and congestion from her first cold.  I guess it's a blessing in one way, as mucus can prevent a cold from getting in there, but right now it also seems to be preventing air around 4am.  Poor girl, and she sure doesn't like the snot sucker or the bulb syringe.

On the development front, she is more able/content to lift her upper body when down for tummy time.  She also holds a good bit of her own weight if you hold her loosely in a standing position.  She is enjoying time on her play mat grabbing at the plastic toys, but she hasn't started grabbing for hand held rattles and whatnot just yet.
