The Whole World In Our Hands...: 2 Months

Our little girl turned 2 months old! She has been such a joy. And she's such a good baby. Even on her fussy days she's so good. I don't think we could even call it being "fussy". She has a cute little smile that lights up her whole face. Her eyes get squinty and her nose wrinkles up. It's adorable. Aaden makes her smile so easily. He'll just be around her and goofing off and she smiles. He doesn't even have to try. You can tell that she loves him already - I look forward to watching their bond grow. She is starting to coo and wow, that sound can melt the coldest of hearts.

She has already changed a lot in the last month. Her little face has gotten soo chubby - she has a double chin and cheeks that look like they weigh her down. She is losing her hair (I find fine little hairs on the sheet of her bassinet) but her eyelashes continue to get darker and longer. They are beautiful. We can't tell still who she looks like - we see a lot of both of us in her. (We definitely know she has Aaron's chin - no arguing that one!)

At her 2 month doctor appointment, Addison weighed 11lbs8oz and was 22" long - up 3lbs and 3" from birth! She's still in newborn clothes and size 1 diapers. She had her shots and did pretty well but was definitely fussy for the rest of the day and evening. I had to give her Tylenol for the first time. Poor love. But the next day she was fine.

She has become quite the tummy sleeper. She'll be fussing, fussing, fussing and then I turn her on her tummy, put her paci in and boom! she's out like a light. Right now I let her nap that way on the couch in the living room because I'm there and I can keep a close eye on her. At night though - I usually let her fall asleep on her tummy and then flip her over. She's still a great sleeper - sleeping 5-6 hour stretches at night and then waking up to eat in the early morning and then goes back to sleep for another few hours. She has absolutely spoiled me with letting me sleep in!

She is nursing about every 3 hours and then gets one formula bottle (4oz of Similac) at night. After she gets her bottle and goes to sleep I pump. I have been trying to build my freezer stash for when I go back to work. So far I have about 50oz in there! She is very good at going between breastmilk and formula. She doesn't seem to have too much trouble with gas - actually she gets it out quite well and she has some STINKY farts!! I've actually had to apologize while waiting in line at Target because she stunk it up so badly.

I'm happy to report that she likes her bath a lot more now and her and Bubby even took a bath together for the first time. They both did well. Aaden likes to help with her bath now and he's pretty good about not getting water on her face. He's actually been a big help - fetching diapers, throwing diapers away, getting pacifiers, letting us know if he hears her crying, and tries to play with her.

Love her!
