2 Months

Miss Madelyn is 2 months old today! My how time flies when you're exhausted! :) She's still only sleeping every 2-3 hours at night. She just started eating every 4-5 hours during the day and so the last couple of nights instead of feeding her every time she wakes up I give her the paci. The first night it worked very well and last night not as much. It takes her awhile to get settled back into sleep, and so I feel like I'm getting less sleep too (if that's possible!). But I will try and stick with it when I can (some nights I'm just so tired I do what I need to to get through the night--if that means feeding her or having her sleep with me).

She's getting better at holding up her head. She's smiling a lot and started cooing the past few days. She has found her hand and likes to gnaw on it. She's a slobber-puss and is constantly drooling. She has chubby cheeks. She is very mild mannered and can sit in her swing or bouncer seat for long periods of time (what I consider long because Nate wouldn't last very long). This is probably due to the fact that I always seem to have to put her back down because I don't have enough set of hands. There's no more fussy evenings; that lasted just during weeks 3 & 4 and then tapered away-thank goodness. She usually only cries if she's hungry or tired.

She had her wellness visit today. She is healthy and everything looks good. She is 14 lbs. 10 oz. (98%) and 22 1/4" long (98%). So, even though she started out bigger than Nate, he has her beat by a little over a pound in weight and almost an inch in height at this age. She's in size 2 diapers and 3-6 months clothing. She is growing so fast!
