Two Months

It's weird how fast and slow time goes with a baby. It's already been two months (It's only been two months?) and we love this sweet girl more everyday. This month, she went on her first trip to Disneyland and was actually really good on the car ride, aside from a few collective hours. She was also really good in the parks, but taking a baby to Disney is not easy! She probably won't go again for a while.

It was the week we went to California that she started to smile a lot more, mostly when she wakes up. I don't get it. It's been really fun being able to interact with her more and listen to her start talking.

While we were in California, she had her first long stretch of sleep after a day with little sleep. She went about 6 hours! Since then, most nights she goes at least 5, with her longest being about 7. I don't feel like I can count on anything at this point, but it has been really nice!

She was a witch for Halloween at Dez's request, but also wore a dragon and bear outfit depending on the situation. Actual trick-or-treating didn't go very well for her, mostly because I think she was cold, despite being bundled up.

At her 2-month appointment, she was 11 lbs 11 oz (59%) and 23.75 inches (94%). Her head was 40.4 cm (96%!). She also cried so hard for her shots she didn't even make noise and her face was so red. It was so sad! I'm not used to having a child that cries for shots. Dez just spoiled me bad. (Side note: he got a flu shot at the same appointment and continued his non-crying streak even though he was a little scared. He rocks.)

She has grown out of most her newborn clothes and now wears some 0-3 and 3-month clothes and size 1 diapers.

She smiles a lot now, but of course we couldn't get her to smile for any pictures, much less look at the camera.








Likes: We've made progress with the swing this month and she likes it a whole lot more now. If we put her in sleepy. she'll sleep for a few hours in there! She also likes when we pretend to pick her nose, and that's when she gives the biggest smiles.

Dislikes: Her car seat is her biggest dislike right now. I dread going anywhere because she cries and screams about 90% of the time. Sometimes she's fine as long as we keep moving, but red lights are the WORST. She's also not a fan of wearing anything with a hood.
