Two Months

At two months:

Weight: 8 lbs 15 ounces

        Percentile: 11%

Height: 22.5 inches

        Percentile: 62%

Sleep: Her naps have been a little rough, but night times she does pretty good. Most nights she does okay with getting herself to sleep and she always puts herself back to sleep after nursing in the middle of the night. She usually sleeps about six hours, eats, then sleeps for two or three more. Naps are hard because she only will sleep in her car seat or your arms for any serious length of time, which the car seat makes me nervous so it's a little difficult to get good naps in.
Clothing size: Still in Newborn. We went up to size one diapers just for nighttime though because she was starting to have blowouts in the morning. 

Milestones: Picking up her head, smiling, starting to coo more

Special Outings: We went hiking a few times, out to eat, grandparents house, and to her two month doctors appointment.

Month Highlights: Month two was fairly difficult like month one was. Emma does not handle growth spurts well, and was very fussy. Although towards the end of the month she started to relax and smile a ton. As she started smiling her fussiness because much easier. 

Big Changes: She is getting so much more aware this month, it's been fun to watch her start to respond to us as we talk to her.

Emma's Favorites: bath time, her car seat, sitting up and bouncing, being talked to and smiled at, watching the fan

Thoughts: while Emma hasn't been the easiest baby this month, she is starting to get a sweet little personality and every time she gets a big smile at me it makes all the moments of crankiness so much more worth it. I'm grateful that I'm able to be home with her still for awhile because she is becoming such a wonderful little light. We are going on some big trips next month so I'm anxious to see how she'll do with those things since she's kind of cranky. I love watching Elli with her because Elli loves her so much. I was worried how she would do adjusting to having a sibling but Elli adores her so much that it really hasn't been an issue. Emma really just fits so perfectly in our family. So much though that it seems like she was always here and sometimes I forget that she's just brand new.
