2 Months Old!

Avery you are 2 months old!You weight 13 pounds 6 ounces.
You are 23 1/2 inches long.
The 0-3 month clothes fit just right.
You love to eat!
You nurse every 2.5-4 hours.
I have had to eliminate dairy products from my diet,
your little belly was reacting to it.
We have a nice daytime routine now.
Once we wake up, you eat, play then nap.
You love being out and about.
You are always so happy and content when we run the roads,
and you LOVE to sleep in the car.
We have a nice bedtime routine too!
You get a bath every night, you LOVE sitting in the warm water.
Then we massage you with lotion and put your pajamas on.
We swaddle you up, you nurse one more time, then you settle in for the night.
You are sleeping all night long in your pack and play.
Sometimes you will even lay there awake and entertain yourself.

At night you wake up every 2.5-4 hours to eat.
You nurse on one side, I change you, then you nurse on the other side.
Then you go right back to sleep in your bed.
Around 6 or 7am I put you in bed with us for cuddle time.
That is my favorite time of the morning.
For a few weeks, you were a little colicky.
We figured out pretty quickly what soothes you though.
Our little "gangsta" girl loves to dance around to booty music in the bathroom.
You like the lights, the loud music and the bouncing.
This month we went to San Angelo to visit Drew and Meredith,
to Kemah with Chelsea and Leah,
to the Rodeo, a crawfish boil and to see the Easter bunny!
You smiled at us for the first time this month!
We can usually get smiles out of you in the mornings,
and when we change your diaper on your changing table.
You are even starting to find your voice a little bit.
You will coo and grunt and make the cutest little noises.
Your little neck is getting so much stronger,
we don't have to hold it up anymore when we pick you up.
You can lift up and look side to side during tummy time too!
I feel like we are "somewhat" getting the hang of this parenting thing.
We are getting into a nice little routine.
We are learning what you like and what soothes you.
You really are a happy, easy baby.
We fall more and more in love with you everyday. We love that you are starting to interact with us more,
and we cannot wait for you to start laughing at us and talking to us more.
God has truly blessed us with such a happy, chunky, easy baby.
