2 Months Old

Has it really only been two months?  It feels like a lot more than that.  A lot sure has happened in the last two months and sweet Bree has been a good sport about going along for the ride.  Here's just a little bit about our baby girl.

*Weighs 9 pounds 9 ounces and measures 22.5 inches long.  That's over a two inch gain in the last month and puts her at about the 54th percentile for height.  Wow!
*Sleeps quite well at night.  She normally has a stretch of anywhere from 4 to almost 6 hours at which point she'll eat and go right back to bed.  She follows that with another 3 hour stretch or so, and then normally about another hour.  She is also really good at settling herself down during the night and I can put her back in her bed drowsy but awake and she wiggles and kicks herself to sleep in about 10 minutes.  However, because she wiggles and kicks on her way to sleep, she has managed to get her feet dangling over the edge of her bed a couple of times.
*Speaking of wiggling and kicking, she has figured out how to move herself.  I've had at least three cases of putting her on a blanket only to come back and find that she has moved herself.  Isn't it too early for that???!
*She takes 4 or 5 naps a day and prefers for them to be in mommy's arms at all times.  If not, they tend to be short naps until she is completely exhausted and then it may run a little longer.
*She has started to coo at us when we talk to her and it melts my heart.  I love her little voice.
*She also has a little chuckle that she does that is equally adorable.
*I'm pretty sure she recognizes her brothers now and I am also pretty sure that she loves them more than me at times!  :)
*She was born with hemorrhages in both eyes.  At one month, her left eye was almost healed but the right eye was still looking pretty bad.  They have both finally healed and her eyes seem to have settled into a pretty blue.
*She tries to comfort herself by sucking on her left fist.  She really doesn't even suck it, she just tastes it and sometimes just the taste is enough for her eyes to start to roll in her head.
*She still doesn't like her carseat and won't normally sleep in it unless we are out for a longer errand.  Even then, she pops right back up when the car stops.  Only if she's really sleep deprived will she actually continue to take a nap in her seat after our errand is done.  I think she did that once, maybe twice, the entire month.

Notice how she wiggled her way down?  She has to kick her legs as she's falling alseep.

This picture was taken on her 2 month day which was a Saturday.  She had her well-check the day before (Friday) and got her vaccinations.  After the appointment, though, she crashed.  She went to bed quite early (around 6pm), only got up twice to eat during the night (one of which I kind of pushed on her) and didn't "wake up" until about 7:30 am and then kept trying to go back to sleep.  I put her in her bouncer while I took a quick shower and came out to find this.  She wouldn't even sleep in this the day she came home from the hospital--it was too bouncy for her.  So, you know she must have been wiped out.  She had me worried for a bit, but by the afternoon I decided she was ok, just tired, and I needed to enjoy it.

One more cute shot

*PS.  I know it's been a bit of the Bree show lately on the blog, but I promise there is more coming up of the boys soon.  They just don't let me take pictures of them as easily as Bree!
