She has finally started going to bed a bit earlier like 10:30-11:15ish and then she is sleeping through until about 6:00-6:30 when she gets up to eat quick and then goes right back to sleep until about 10:00-11:00. Now that she is a bit older she doesn't take so long to eat, doesn't poop every diaper and her melatonin has kicked in regulating her sleep pattern which has been glorious! I should mention that she has been sleeping in her carseat in her crib though because of colds and well because that is what has worked to get her to sleep for 5-6 hours in a row and you will do just about anything to get a few hours of sleep! She saw the Dr on Monday though and he recommended that we do what we need to do but to also start seeing if she would adjust to sleeping without her carseat and last night after she couldn't fall asleep I decided to see how she would do and I was shocked when she feel asleep on her back and slept until 5:55! Yay baby girl! Your somewhat rested parents thank you enormously!
So at 2 months her is a look at Lyssa.
She is wearing size 1 diapers.
She is starting to laugh and giggle.
She is eating every 5-6 hours a good 3-4 ozs.
She is sleeping through the night, hopefully without the help from her carseat!
She is now 11 lbs 11ozs. (Riley at 2 month was 12 lbs 9 ozs.)
She is 22 1/4 inches long.
She is almost always chewing on her fists which is usually a trait of 3-4 month old babies but she has gnawing away for weeks now and it's probably cause she isn't a huge nuk fan.
She is still struggling with an eye infection and the tail end of cold she inherited from Riley.
She will follow you around the room and smile brightly at you when you look at her or talk to her.
She loves to be outside.
She will sit contently while I do housework as long as she can see me.
She is super happy in the morning when she finally wakes up and all the wants to do is kick her chunky legs and smile at you. She doesn't even need to eat right away cause all she wants to do is coo and smile.
D joked that she has made him 'soft.' I gently reminded him that he has never really been hard but it is true that having a little girl has made all 3 of us a little 'softer.' I could just stare at her all day long, Riley melts when she smiles at him and Daddy's heart breaks when she is sick/crying/or gives him the big lip. D has always been a little over-protective when it came to Riley but I think we are all going to see a whole new level of protectiveness now that Lyssa is here!
Riley and I took her to the Dr appt on Monday and she did great but was so sad about the shots. For a good hour afterwards she would spontaneously stop smiling, look at me, give me a huge sad lip and then start crying the saddest sobs ever. Eventually she feel asleep but woke up flushed, hot and seriously unhappy. She then proceeded to cry almost non-stop for a good 3 hours and I felt horrible for her. You could tell she was seriously uncomfortable and I couldn't do anything to help her until I discovered taking her outside where she finally fell asleep and slept off the icky shot side-effects for a solid 3 hours. Poor baby, poor Mommy and poor Daddy who fretted all afternoon about her. Tuesday morn she woke up after 9 hours of solid sleep like a new little lady and she has been fine ever since.
Happy 2 months Baby Girl!
