Two Months

BabyGirl you are 2 Months old!! What a growing girl you are!

-LOVES standing on her feet.
-Eats every 3 hours or so. Breastfeeding is going fairly well. We no longer have to spend FOREVER getting you to burp...you do it on your own now! This is a big step for us!
-Drank a bottle of breastmilk. We weren't sure if you would go for it, but you sucked that 1.5 oz dry in, NO KIDDING, less than 2 minutes. Daddy enjoyed feeding you. You had one other bottle this month but other than that I've strictly nursed you. 
-Began using cloth diapers at 7 weeks. If you do wear a disposable, you can wear either newborn or size 1. Size 1 is still a little big.
-Loves her bink...even uses her fist to push it back in. So amazing how much she's changing.
-Goes to bed very well at night. I feed her and lay her down anywhere between 10-Midnight(usually she's already asleep). She wakes up once around 3-4am to eat. Sometimes she won't go back to sleep well after this feeding unless she is in bed with Mommy...I may or may not give in to this. Then she wakes for good around 8 SO happy. I'll watch her before she sees me and she just looks around "talking." When she finally sees me she lights up with the biggest smile.
-Urologist says her right ureter is dilated. We'll follow up on this with a procedure Mommy is NOT looking forward to.
-Smiles ALL. THE. TIME. She is such a joyful, joyful baby.
-Began cooing and making more sounds.
-The carseat is bad news bears right now. She HATES it.
-Loves being outside. She adores riding in the stroller.
-Took our first family nature hike. BabyGirl decided sleeping was more fun.
-Loves bathtime and loves getting her diaper changed. She kicks, kicks, kicks and waves her arms around smiling and cooing the whole time. She also loves being naked. Let's hope this changes one day.
-She really enjoys music...even when it's Mommy singing...which is a miracle.
-Goes from happy to mad in about 1 second. She knows what she wants!
-Likes for the blanket to be against the side of her face when she's napping. If she naps on someone she burrows her face into you as much as she can.
-Began holding her head up very well around 5.5 weeks. At 6 weeks the doctor said she was shocked how well she holds it up with no bobbing around. The doctor was also impressed with how alert Miss BabyGirl is.
-At 6 weeks she weighed 9lbs 12 oz (25th percentile), was 23 inches long (75th percentile) and her big ole noggin was 15.5 inches (75 percentile).

We love our growing girl!

-Megan
