2 Months

Not so sure about the new rocker. ;)

2 Month Stats-

Weight: 11 pounds, 7 ounces...65th percentile

Height: 23 inches...65th percentile

Food: 5 ounces every 2-3.5 hours during the day. Right now we are split almost 50-50 between formula and breastmilk. Baby girl loves both! I hadn't breastfed since Grace was a month, but decided to try last week to see if she remembered how. Random, I know. It went pretty well the first go round, but later she was not having it. Still on bottles 100% of the time!

Sleep: Almost sleeping through the night! We only wake up once these days, and sometimes not even until 5am. Gracie is a great sleeper and "puts herself to sleep" around 7pm. We literally can not wake her up once she goes down- although we are trying to establish more of a bedtime "routine", i.e. bath, pjs, books/last feeding, and in bed with her nighttime music. I am hoping we can get her to bed closer to 8:30pm and have her sleeping until 6am...that would be perfect with our school/work schedule. Grace is still sleeping in the her bassinet in our room, but we have decided that after we come back from Christmas in Virginia, it will be big girl crib time. Really we have no choice, as she is quickly out growing her little bassinet!

Life at 2 months: Life gets easier every day. We have really settled into a routine now that I'm back at work and Grace has adjusted wonderfully. Having a two month old is loads of fun- seriously! There is more "talking"- some cooing- which will just melt you, and lots of smiles. I love picking G up from daycare because as soon as she hears me coming to grab her, she breaks into some of those smiles...again, melt. We are waiting to hear giggles. I can't wait for some baby belly laughs. Speaking of bellies, this little girl has gotten better at tummy time! She doesn't love it, but is certainly getting stronger. Grace got her first set of shots this month and handled them like a champ. After a delayed reaction howl, she decided to smile and "talk" the rest of the time we spent at the doctors. She's a tough cookie. :)

We're well on our way to 3 months now, and are looking forward to our first Christmas as a family of three!
