2 Months Old

Baby Charlotte is 2 months old. She has us all wrapped around her tiny little fingers. She has finally started to wake up more over the past week and she's much more interactive. I do not remember William being this sleepy! She is definitely a lap baby and wants to be held 24/7 which can be challenging at times but I love every second of it too! We saw her precious smile for the first time on the day before she turned 2 months and it happened to be at Mommy :) Grant has yet to get her to smile at him but he's working reallly hard on that.

She's eating 4 ounces of breast milk every 2.5-3 hrs during the day and every 4-5 hours at night. We usually put her to bed around 8 and she wakes up at midnight and then once again around 3 or 4am but it still varies. She's still sleeping in the rock n' play in our room. We probably should move her to the crib soon but we don't want to rock the boat since she's doing pretty well with sleep. She still spits us a LOT but doesn't seem to be too bothered by it so she's not on any medication for reflux.

She loves her car seat, loud noises (hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, sound machine blaring), being outside, "talking" to Mommy, and looking at ceiling fans and lights :)

We went to the pediatrician today for her 2 month check up and she had to get 4 shots. I still remembered the trauma all to well from William's 4 month shots and was dreading this appointment. Thankfully, it wasn't too terrible and she's been sleeping most of the afternoon. She got an excellent report from the pediatrician and she is a growing, healthy baby girl. She's almost 3 pounds smaller than William at 2 months :)

2 month stats:

Weight: 11 lbs, 15 oz. (75th percentile)

Height: 24 inches (97th percentile)

Head circumference: (50th percentile)

She kept toppling over in her chair during our photo session. Oh well, I tried!
