Mallory 2 Month Update

Two months just flew by.  How is it that I can remember her birth like it was yesterday but it was two months?

She's out of newborn diapers and into size 1.  She's starting to fit into some of the cloth diapers we have so I've been using those more because she freaks a little bit if she's the slightest bit wet usually.  So changing her 3 times in an hour sometimes can get expensive with disposables. And since I have to wash the cloth ones anyway for Eleanor it's not really any more work.

She's also out of newborn clothes except for a few random pieces that may be cut bigger.

She usually is up 2-3 times a night (considering that 11-7 ish because that's my night) but goes one 3-4 hour stretch at the beggining.   She is in the rock n play at night and will be for a few more months at least.   I have been sporadically having her nap in the crib though.  In part because I want her to be used to it, but also because Eleanor won't get in her face as much.

She's started giving real on purpose smiles as well as the random ones also.

I'm hearing more noises that aren't cries.  Those adorable little coos and what almost sounds like a laugh.

Her grip is getting stronger and she's starting to hold onto my shirt, my hair, this oball toy she has.

She's also batting at her hanging toys on the playmat a little.

Still having projectile spit up once or twice a week.

I weighed her using my super accurate method (weighing myself holding her and not holding her) this morning and judging by that shes almost 12 1/2 lbs.   Still no clue on length.  She was supposed to have her checkup Thursday but I rescheduled it because of a big snow storm predicted.   And now it's supposed to miss us and just rain.  So not until next week will I know.

Happy Two Months Eleanor!

Two months already!  As much as I do miss that sweet snuggly newborn stage she's getting more interactive and is become really full of smiles and it really is a fun time as well.

• With the exception of a few newborn onesies she's pretty much entirely in 0-3 month stuff.  Putting away the newborn stuff was a little sad.
• She's sleeping at least one 4-5 hour stretch at night and is becoming a better daytime sleeper.  She usually naps in her crib and is doing great with it.  I'm so not ready for her to be in there at night though.
• She's becoming talkative.  I'm semi-convinced she says words.  I know she's not really, but it sounds like she says 'hi' for example.
• She is also pretty smiley like I mentioned above.  And these aren't just gas or sleep smiles.  She'll be kicking away in the bouncer and I will look at her and she will smile, so I know it's a real smile.

I weighed her on Thursday (2 days shy of the 2 month mark) at the breastfeeding support group I've been going to and with just a onesie and a clean diaper and she was 11 lbs.  I've had breastfeeding struggles but I know she's gaining weight and growing so I'm going to keep up with it because I love knowing I'm giving her the best possible thing for her. (I'm not saying formula is bad and if you go that route it's still good, I'm just thankful I am able to breastfeed because it is tough).

I still don't know her height, but she has her 2 month appointment next week so I'll find out then. She's also getting shots then and I'm nervous about that.
