Yesterday Leah hit the two month milestone. It’s so cliche but it seems like she just got here and that she’s been a lot longer than two months at the same time.
I think one of the biggest changes from last month to today is the smiles and giggles!!
Leah at Two Months:
Size: The 0-3 month clothes have been packed and are waiting to go to the consignment store. She’s been in 3-6 month clothes for about two or three weeks now. Doing a rough weigh-in on our home scale, she seems to be about 13.5 pounds-ish. Her newborn diapers were also quickly outgrown and I’ve been working on growing our cloth diaper stash for the next stage.
Eating: Breastfeeding is still going well. I’m going back to work in a few weeks so we’ll need to start introducing bottles because, as I found out in an unfortunate fashion at church this past weekend, Leah doesn’t like bottles! It didn’t surprise me a whole lot because she doesn’t like pacifiers either!
Sleeping: Leah is an inconsistent day sleeper but pretty consistent night sleeper. She’ll have days when she shows little to no interest in napping and then have days when she’ll take 5 hour naps. However, she’s practically sleeping through the night already so I try not to complain about the non-napping days too much.
Personality: Leah is much more unpredictable than I remember Brooke to be. Brooke pretty much was on a 3 hour routine of sleep, eat, play. I knew exactly what would put her to sleep and a good idea how long I’d have until she’d wake up again. With Leah, its a crapshoot most of the time. This has been a hard adjustment for me but I’m doing my best to go with the flow. Leah still has a bit of a temper and once she’s mad, she’s MAD and not going to be calmed easily. I’ve learned that the hard way after many a head butt!
Milestones:
Smiles and Giggles!! When we go to get her from her crib when she wakes up, we’re greeted with a big ‘ol toothless grin. We’ve also gotten a few giggles if we make just the right goofy noise.
Hand Sucking! She has figured out how to get her hands in her mouth and once its there, she’s a happy camper!
Fun Trips! This month Leah has been to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, Great Smoky Mountain National Park and her first UT football event! She’s staring out as quite the active kiddo!!
Next month will bring about some changes for Leah, like daycare and many more milestones. We’re looking forward to seeing what’s next for her!!
Oh my goodness. She has changed so very much. I just cannot believe it. I will share this with dad this weekend as he will want to see it for sure and I’m sure will be just as shocked as I am. I can’t even remember Brooke changing that fast. How time flies. Man alive!!!!!
Please be sure to keep us posted and let us know when you put on anything else as I don’t remember to check otherwise. Hi to all—Brooke looks so happy with her little sister too. She is so very very sweet.
Lots of love, Missing you all.
