Madelyn ~ 2 months old

Baby girl you've been with us for 2 months now and you are the sweetest little blessing. 


At 2 months old you love your sleep, smiling and bath time. Mommy and daddy thank you for being such an amazing sleeper! You go down for the night somewhere between 9-11pm range and will sleep for 5-6 hours!! Then you will calmly wake up to eat, seriously so calm. You moan a little, maybe a few cries, but normally just wiggling around cheesing and making noise to let us know you are up. You normally get changed, eat and will fall back to sleep for about 3 hours then you wake up, cheese at us, eat some more and fall asleep on mommy or daddy's chest because you brother is about to stampede through the room demanding milk and ready to watch a show! 


This month your smile came out and my goodness it's perfect. Your big brother gets so excited when you smile at him. If you are smiling at mommy or daddy we normally tell Nolan and he runs right over to see you! :) {However, you decided to not give us any smiles for your 2 month picture} 


Since your very first bath you have loved them. You look around and just enjoy being in the water. It makes bath time a breeze for us and for that we thank you. 


Things you dislike are nursing, nursing and nursing. You love having bottles and mama has resorted to the reality that I am an exclusive pumper. You did give me 2 successful feeding sessions recently. I try not to force it because I know you are eating and you are healthy, but I miss those snuggles that come along with those late night feedings. Again, you are healthy and I am still able to provide you with breastmilk so as stubborn as you are I am still happy. 


You had your 2 month check up today and they had to check your heart murmur. If it hadn't closed we would be referred to a cardiologist. We are SO happy to report that it closed up completely and they didn't hear it at all!!!! Best. News. Ever. 


You showed off for the doctor at your appointment today by making your cute little sounds and showing her how strong you are when you have tummy time. The doctor compared you to a 4 month old because you were lifting your chest up so high. Mommy didn't like that, you need to stay an itty bitty 2 month old for me a bit longer because time flies by way too quickly! 


At 2 months you weigh an even 10 lbs (16%) and you are 22.5 in (61%). I had to stop and think about your length because when Nolan was born he was 22 in long and to only be a 1/2 inch longer than he was at birth now really makes me wonder how on earth he fit in my belly!! Anyways, you are a little peanut and you had to have some shots today, but you did so good!
 

Happy 2 months Madelyn Ann, we love you to pieces!!!

Our visit to the doctor today:
