2 months

Today you had your two month check up!

• You weigh 10.4 lbs - 29th percentile
• You are 22.5 in length - 44th percentile (although I think you're actually 23 in, and the nurse didn't measure you very well!)
• Your head measures 15.3 in - 45th percentile

Your check up went very well! The doctor is really impressed by how strong you are, and you hold your head up so well! When she put you on your tummy, you just pushed up on your arms like a big girl! You were even going to roll over for her, but we stopped you so you wouldn't fall off the table :) Your shots went so well, you're such a champ. You screamed only when the nurse stuck you the second and third time, and as soon as she was done, you looked around like nothing was wrong. I picked you up, and all was right with the world again! We went to visit Granny afterward, and you slept most of the day. We could tell you weren't feeling like yourself, so the day included lots of cuddles! Hopefully we'll get back to normal tomorrow.


Here is a bit about what you are doing these days:

Sleeping: You sleep through the night!! I am so happy about this, and I know that I am very lucky! You go to bed around 10:30 or 11 and wake up at 7. Your naps are still a little unpredictable during the day, sometimes you sleep a lot, and sometimes you only sleep for 30-45 minutes. I know you'll get better as you get older! You still hate sleeping on your back, but we bought you a sleepsack swaddle the other day and you seem to be okay sleeping on your back as long as you are all wrapped up.

Eating: You eat every 3 hours during the day. And I mean 3 hours on the dot! If I'm late, you let me know! We are still exclusively breastfeeding, and I plan to keep it this way. You will take a bottle, but you know it's not the same and can be a little grumpy afterward.

You are wearing a mix of newborn and 0-3 month clothes. I can tell you will outgrow the newborn clothes very soon! You are still wearing newborn diapers, and probably will for a while. You are a skinny baby with no butt :)

You have started to smile, but it is still pretty random and extremely hard to get a picture of. You really like mommy best, but we are working on that! You have rolled over from front to back twice now, both times while you were supposed to be sleeping, so we haven't gotten to see it yet! You absolutely hate tummy time, but we will work on that!

We love you so much baby girl, and can't imagine our lives without you now!
