Everything Emery {2 months}

Happy two months, Emery Claire!

This past month you have gone from an unhappy and fussy little gal to the easiest, sweetest and happiest baby!  The transition happened around the 6 week mark.  Soon after you turned one month we switched to all Alimentum formula and it has helped you tremendously.  As long as you have that formula and the Prevacid medicine you are a happy gal.  You smiled for the first time around 5.5 weeks and you smile every day.  You ALWAYS smile when I say the words "big brother."  Maybe this is foreshadowing of how you and your brother are going to get along perfectly for the rest of your lives?? :)  A mommy can only hope, huh?  

Let's see what you are up to these days:

• Your appointment is next week but one thing I know is that you have not any problems gaining weight this month.  I would guess you weigh about 10 pounds.
• You eat 5 ounces every 3 hours for a total of 6 bottles a day.
• You started sleeping in your crib at 7 weeks and you have done perfectly in it.

• You are a rock star night time sleeper!  You get your bath around 7:15 and eat your last bottle around 7:45.  I tried for several nights to wake you back up around 10:30 to feed you a bottle but you just keep your lips held tight and will not open them for anything.  So, you go to bed about 8:00 and sleep till about 5:30 a.m.  I feed you a bottle then and you go back to sleep till about 8:30 or 9:00.  So, you are sleeping a pretty consistent 10 hour stretch each night, and go back to sleep for another 3 hours and do not make a peep.
• You love to be swaddled at night but not during the day.

 

• I guess you sleep so much at night that you are not a very consistent napper.  
• You have begun to like the swing and most of your naps happen in there.  

 

• You wear size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothing
• You love to be talked to
• You are a HUGE bath lover!  You sit in there every night for 20-30 minutes just cooing and looking around.  You cry as soon as I get you out. 

• You do not like a wet or dirty diaper
• You love to "talk" to us when we talk to your face.  You have the softest little voice.
• You are starting to recognize familiar voices.
• You went to church for the first time on your two month birthday.

 

• You took your first road trip to Papa and Gigi's over Memorial day to meet your Aunt Heather, Uncle David and cousins.  
• You are getting better at lifting your head up at tummy time but you still have a ways to go before you start rolling over or anything.
• Your hair still sticks straight up and is brown.  A lot of it has fallen out on the top and on the sides.  We have had several "grandmothers" stop us and tell us that you are going to have blonde curly hair.  It is highly possible since your brother does. 

 

• You have the prettiest skin and have never had any baby acne.  People often comment on your pretty skin.

Here is the 2 month comparison of you and Lincoln.

 

You have become the sweetest and cuddliest baby.  It won't be long before you start rolling over and swatting at toys!  Keep showing us that sweet smile!

We love you, Emery Claire!
