Man where does the time go? Lucy is already 2 months old and we are not sure when she got so big!

Two Month Stats:

Head Circumference: 15.6 (68.0 percentile)
Length: 24.25 in (96.0 percentile)

Highlights of this Month:

• Sleeping longer at night, only waking up once to eat at night
• More smiling and cooing happening!
• Getting into more of a routine, although Sunday's and Wednesday's are harder days for keeping that routine
• Started sleeping in her crib in her room instead of the bassinet in our room
• Started rolling over from her belly to her back, a few times
• Getting chunkier and longer everyday!
• Celebrating her first Halloween
• Cracking the 45 minute nap code (some days)
• Still having a happy and easy going baby as she gets bigger
• What we thought is the beginning of laughing
• Going in to get her from her crib in the middle of the night or morning and finding she has wiggled herself sideways :)

Eating her arm during tummy time

Fat and Happy!

Sick of Mom singing about everything we do

Such a cutie!

Not so great moments:

• The first time Mommy was gone when it was time to eat and there was not enough milk defrosted= one stressed Daddy and one sad baby
• Taking only 45 minute naps, waking up tired and cranky.
•  Finding blood in her stool
• Having to hold her down for a blood test.  It took them 10 minutes to finally hit a vein and get blood out!  Both of us were crying, I just wasn't screaming like her (although I wanted to!)
• Cutting out ALL dairy for a few days while we thought it was a milk allergy
• Finding out it wasn't a milk allergy but may have been a virus
• Having all of the virus tests come back negative and not knowing why this is still happening
• Getting referred to a GI Specialist and not being able to go until December 
• Getting the first round of immunizations

We already have to discuss modesty.  Check out that cleavage!

Working hard building those muscles

More Looking at the fan

Semi Smile

Smiles for the fan only!

The Hair...at it's craziest

Hanging out with Daddy, getting some snuggles in

Things we have learned about Lucy:

• She loves to look around.  She wants to see everything.  Things she especially enjoys staring at are the fan (not even a moving fan, just the plain old fan), picture frames, the light in the kitchen and our giant clock on the wall.  For a while there, she wouldn't smile at us necessarily but if she could see the fan, she would start to smile. 
• Her hair is crazy!  It sticks straight up no matter what we do.  We brush it after bath time, which sometimes gets it to stay down some in the front, but eventually, it ends up sticking straight up.  We just call her our little punk rocker!
•  She is not a huge tummy time fan.  Probably because she spits up a lot every time we do it.  But even though she doesn't like it, she will do it for 5 minutes if we make her.  I am pretty sure she learned to roll over so she could get out of it.
• She gets tired almost exactly 1 hour after she wakes up from any nap.  It is like clockwork.  Sometimes we can get her to stretch to an hour and 15 minutes or an hour and a half, but that is usually only first thing in the morning.  She will yawn really big when she is ready for a nap.  We usually wait for the third yawn and then go to put her down.  She is out usually within 2 minutes. 
• She likes to have a pacifier when she is sleepy, but that is really the only time she uses it.  
• She still likes to find her hair, but now especially she will grab a big chunk of it with her left hand and tug on it.  She does this especially when she is sleepy or while nursing.
• She is very aware of the humidifer that we use in her room for white noise.  She will be asleep and I will open her door and pull up the blinds and she will stay asleep.  But as soon as I turn off the humidifier her eyes pop open and she looks around.
• Richard's contribution: She likes to poop sitting up and while you rub her belly.  
• She is still a very calm and quiet baby.  She really only cries when she is tired, hungry, or wants to be held up or out so she can see things.  Oh and when she has to get shots!
• We love her more every single day and just when we think she can't get any cuter, so goes and outdoes herself!
