2 months.

i'm trying not to think about the fact that my maternity leave is halfway over...or that my newborn isn't in many newborn clothes any more...and relish in the fact that she's growing steadily and becoming a little person.  2 months?  how?

i love that full head of hair.  and that itsy bitsy roll on her thigh.

 2 month stats:

8 lbs. 8.5 oz. - 5th percentile

21 in. - 7th percentile

loves hanging out and looking at the fans and lights

awake much more during the day

one middle of the night feeding

smiling with intent

cooing

enjoys when spoken to

doesn't mind dog kisses

let's compare.  i'd say we're putting meat on those bones.

sleep update:  we cut out the nap nanny during the night, cold turkey.  she was just moving a little too much for my comfort and unless we put it on the floor, that's just not safe.  not to mention, i didn't want her dependent on it when she goes to the sitter [which is weird for me to say because the "sitter" is my friend].  so, now...we're trying all different kinds of swaddlers.  the child hates it.  and fights it but does eventually fall asleep.  but if she wakes up at all, she gets pissed about the swaddle and usually wakes herself up.  on the contrary, not swaddling isn't an option because her startle reflex is still pretty strong.  any arm movement wakes her up!  so our 7 hours of sleep with the nap nanny has turned back into a stretch of 3, a feeding and then a stretch of 3-4.  but i'm not giving in to the nap nanny.  although, i do love it for letting her lounge in during the day and the occasional nap when i am watching her.
