Is it possible that my baby is 2 months old already? (and even this post is a week late). I feel like time is flying by so quickly...it's so cliche but so true. This past month has been awesome. Julia is such a sweet, adorable little baby. She's officially entering "baby" phase and past the "newborn"--cooing and smiling all the time, batting toys, watching her brothers run around. At 7 weeks old, she slept through the night, and continued to do so for a week, until she caught her brother's cold. Since then, she sleeps through about 2 out of every 3 nights, 8-11 hours straight. On the other nights, she wakes up around 4am, nurses and quickly goes back to sleep. She nurses every 2-4 hours during the day (usually 6-7x/day total) on no real schedule at all, as she is constantly shuffled around transporting Charlie to/from school and other various activities--it seems to suit her though!
On Tuesday I took her to the doctors for her 2 month checkup. She weighed in at 11lbs10oz (75th percentile, once again probably slightly skewed upwards by her big cloth diaper) and measured 24 1/4 inches long (95th percentile--long baby!). Looking back, she's about the same length as Sam and Charlie but much lighter (Sam was 13.5lbs at his 2 month appointment)
A few of our moments this month...Julia cooing and "talking" in her bouncy seat, and Charlie runs over and starts imitating her--she just gets louder and louder. Sam climbing up on the chair, sitting on the side of the boppy while I nurse Julia (he just wants to see her all the time!). One of the little boys at school saying "She's just the most beautiful baby I've ever seen". Blank stare until you get into her vision sight and say her name--broad smile across her face!
