Two months old!


Maddie, you are two months old!  Where has the time gone?!  You went to the doctor at 6 weeks and they ended up just doing your 2 month check up then so we didn't have to make another trip.  This time you saw Dr. Wendy Lotts, last time it was Dr. Upadeay(sp?).  I think we like Dr. Lotts better but may try another doc in the future.  The stats below are from your 6 week check up.  Here are some things about you at two months old:

  • You weighed 10 lbs 14 oz at six weeks.  I tried to weigh you today and I believe you were in the 12 lb range.  You grew by more than 2 lbs in a month!
  • Your height was 22 inches, that's 2.5 inches of growth in a month!
  • You are now wearing a size 2 diaper.  This just changed as you were having several blow outs in your size one dipes.
  • You are in size 3 months onesies and pants and 3-6/6 month sleepers.  You are just a long little girl and don't fit into a lot of your 0-3 month clothes.  It's kind of sad packing those away :-(
  • You are mainly breastfeeding with an occasional bottle of formula here and there.  I do want to try to start pumping at least one time a day to build up some sort of a supply for when I do have to leave you.  
  • You've started to sleep a bit longer at night, usually minimum of 5 hours and has been up to 7 hours or so.  Mommy LOVES this!  Some times I can get you take a 3 hour nap during the day with several shorter ones.  This does not always work though...
  • Some days you do not like to be put down.
  • You love baths unless we try to give you one when you are hungry.  Otherwise you are pretty good when you take one.
  • You still sleep in our room.  I have tried to put you in your crib twice now.  Once on your one month birthday and another time just the other day both for naps, you last about a half hour in there and then wake up.
  • You occasionally don't like car rides and scream the whole way :-)
  • You are talking and cooing more often, especially when we change your diaper.
  • You still have your old main mullet hair going on.
We just love your little face so much!  You are such a special little girl!
