Two Months

• Slow down baby girl, you are growing so fast! You now weigh 12 pounds and 3 ounces and are 22.75 inches long. You are comfortably wearing 0-3 months and 3 months sized clothing. 
• You continue to be an incredible baby - still both a great eater and sleeper. This past month, we have really begun to settle into a nice routine. On an average day, you eat every three to four hours, but occasionally will need to eat more frequently. Your first feed of the day is typically anywhere between 4 and 5:30 AM (depending on when bedtime was / how long you decide to sleep at night). After that feed, you get another three to four hours of sleep, usually eating again around 9 AM. Your brothers anxiously await this time, so excited to sing to you when you wake up. You go down for another two hour nap, somewhere around 10-12, and then it's up for lunch. Together, we usually put your brothers down for their nap next and then your next nap around one o'clock. After a snack and some playtime with your brothers, you usually get one more nap around three or four o'clock. Dinner is around 6 or 7, depending on how the day played out. You have some special one-on-one time with Mommy and Daddy after 7:30, when your big brothers are asleep and precious snuggles on our chest. Bedtime is anywhere between 9 and 11 - depending on how tired Mommy and Daddy are, as well as when you need to eat again. On average, you sleep no fewer than five hours at a time at night, but every couple days will give me anywhere from six to eight hours at a time! During the day, I let you fall asleep on me and then you'll go down in your bed. At nighttime, it just takes a good swaddle and you easily go down on your own. 
• You are still a very easy-going, happy baby. You are now smiling all the time. My favorite time of day, is when you first wake up around 9...while you should be starving, you wake up smiling and happy as can be! 
• You are coo-ing a lot more now, "talking" to us all the time. It seems like a giggle is right on the tip of your tongue.
• You are definitely recognizing more familiar, family faces and especially light up for them.
• This week, your hands found your mouth. If I don't get to you when you first start crying, we will now hear you pacifying yourself for a few minutes, sucking on your hands. 
• You are a tummy time champ, holding your head up high and for longer stretches of time too. You rolled over for the first time just three days ago too!

I knew time would move fast with you, but already it's going too fast! I'm amazed at the milestones you are already hitting, how big you are and how quickly you are changing and growing. You have this family completely smitten by you, Squish; we are so grateful to have you in our lives.
