Time goes so much faster on the second baby.
Sweet Abby is 2 months old..and I feel like we were in the hospital yesterday giving birth to her.
She is such a precious joy to us!
2 Month Stats:
Weight: 11lb 4oz (60th Percentile)
Height: 22 3/4" (64th Percentile)
{I just have to note that Noah was 14 lb 12 oz and 24 3/4" long - sweet Abby is such a petite little thing compared to him}
Funny...we measured her twice because somehow last month we had her down as 23"...so we're throwing out last months 23 inches...she definitely didn't shrink.
So far..the start of her third month has been quite the bummer...poor little thing has pneumonia...but month two was fabulous!
Here's where we are:
She smiles at us all the time. I LOVE her sweet smiles. There is this moment where she recognizes us and right away she smiles..it just warms my heart.
She loves attention. She can cry and cry..but the second I sit down and make eye contact with her she'll smile at me.
She coos and jabbers. It's adorable!
She's a tough little thing. I mean her brother is a little rough with her..and she just takes it like a champ.
I think she's really going to be a little blue eyed baby.
Turns to our voices more and more.
Surprisingly seems to find me singing to her soothing. I think that's one of the coolest things about kiddos. Both our little loves like it when we sing to them and don't seem to care that we don't have the best singing voices.
She's a tummy sleeper. Against all that is in me..she sleeps on her tummy and it's working.
We're slowly but surely making progress on her sleeping better. She's still doing 5-6 hour stretches. The last two nights she has been ready for bed after her 7:30 feeding. That's crazy. But it is nice to have some time with Brad earlier than when we drag ourselves into bed. :)
HATES her car seat when we're in the car and not moving. Even when moving sometimes. It breaks my heart. She's been doing better, as long as we're moving she seems to tolerate it. But the second we park or stop she wants out. Just opening the van door when we get somewhere she almost immediately stops crying.
She really seems to enjoy outdoors. She coos and smiles and just seems to love it in the sunshine. YAY!!!
Recognizes Noah. She smiles at him when he loves on her.
Holds onto me when she nurses, holds my finger when she sleeps next to me. Precious.
Has her sweet daddy's nose...looks just like him from the profile. Maybe one day our children will have some of mama in them.
For the most part a very content baby. She is ok with hanging out in her swing/bouncer for a little bit while I get things done or play with Noah, she'll lay next to me and not have to be held now, the tummy troubles seem to have almost completely resolved, and she's just so stinking cute.
But when she wants to eat...or wants her diaper changed...she means BUSINESS.
She met her cousins this month..I'm SO glad!!
She's just awesome. We fall in love with her more and more every day. She's amazing.
I'll follow up with a picture post!
