2 Months Old

Our sweet baby Kate is 2 months old today!!! Time is flying. She truly is a blessing and our lives are so much more full with her. Here are a few things about Miss Kate now that she is 2 months old:

• You are growing like a weed! Each day it seems that you fill out more and more. I love how your little face has gotten so full. Your little thighs also are getting some meat on them! You weigh around 10 pounds 7 ounces.


• You are still wearing some of your newborn clothes but we have also moved into the 0-3 month clothes. They are a little big but it won't be too much longer and they will fit great.


• You continue to be a super happy baby. You have started crying some. You let us know what you need but still overall are a wonderful baby. You love to lay in your bouncy seat and watch Ben run around. Swinging is also something you really enjoy.


• You are a paci girl to the core! As long as you have that in your mouth you are happy.


• You are getting some good head control. Tummy time is not your favorite but you put up with it. You can really hold your head up and look around when you want to. You are also working on straightening out your legs. Such a big girl.


• Your eyes are still blue which is awesome. Maybe they will stay that way. You still have tons of hair (it is the thing we get the most comments on when we go out!)


• We are still working on establishing a schedule (not that you need to be on one). You are still nursing about every 3 hours during the day. At night, you will go 4-5 hours at times (up to 6 1/2 one night). You are usually awake from about 8 am - 10 am in the morning (we call it playtime) and then again most evenings from about 5 pm - 8 pm. You are still a great sleeper at night which is a huge blessing.


• Some of your nicknames include Miss Kate, Kate the Great, Sweet Baby Kate, and Angel.


• You are getting better hand control. You love to try to reach out and grab things. Some of your favorite things to hold onto are shirts and blankets. You are a snugler!

• Your second month of life was full of fun new adventures. You got out more. You like to ride in the car so we take you on errands and such. You got to meet 2 great-grandmothers over the month. You also had your first Christmas. Such fun times.

• You are starting to smile some. You are a very contemplative baby so you are not as expressive but we know you are thinking some big things!! You are also a very vocal little girl these days. You like to try to make new and different sounds that are super cute.

Happy 2 month birthday Kate!!!
