She's TWO months old. Already!

Two months have passed since G joined our family outside of my womb. I can't believe it has been 2 months already. We spend all this time waiting for her to come. It seems like FOREVER! And then, BOOM! She is graduating high school. These past two months have flown by.

She is smiling at us! She isn't just a giant newborn anymore. She smiles when we chat with her. I can't wait for that belly giggle. She is also becoming a champ at nighttime sleeping. She usually wakes once in the middle of the night and goes right back to sleep after she nurses. Daytime naps are a bit trickier. She doesn't like to fall asleep by herself. So, in order to sleep during the day she has to fall asleep in her swing, or I have to be a slave to the binky in the crib. Although, I think my binky slave days are coming to an end soon as she is feverishly trying to suck on any finger that happens to pop out long enough from that tightly clenched fist. Won't that be nice? A baby that can soothe herself to sleep. I am a tad nervous that I am creating bad sleeping habits by letting her sleep in the swing and helping her to sleep by making sure that binky stays in. I have a feeling that the "let her cry it out" days are coming soon. I wish I had kept better notes when E was this age.

She had her 2 month check up this week and she weighs 11 pounds 5 ounces. I was worried that she wasn't getting enough to eat, but that doesn't seem to be the case! We will have a better idea of her weight trend at her 4 month check up.

All in all, she is doing great. I love her wakeful periods. She just stares at me, smiles, and is starting to coo more. I always thought the word "coo" was funny. But that is really what it sounds like. I have started walking more with her in the mornings along the Bridal Path. We have to take every chance we get before it starts to get to be too hot.

Welcome to your 3rd month G-money. Can't wait to see what is next.
