2 Months

Can you believe this sweet girl is already 2 Months Old?  We can't!  It has certainly been different, but I love this sweet girl more and more each day.  She is developing such a personality and is SO PATIENT with her big brother who is an absolute mess.  He still loves her just as much as we do.  We couldn't ask for him to be sweeter.  I probably shouldn't say this and jinx us--but he hasn't shown one ounce of jealousy or hate towards her.  He worries about her when she cries "What's she cryin' bout?".  He helps her when she fusses "I'll help her Mama".  He retrieves her paci when she loses it "I'll get her paci mama, be EASY Martin".  But when she doesn't take the paci the first time, it always turns into "You help her mama".  Like he is saying "I tried, but now it's your turn".  Haha.  On Martin's note from yesterday at school the teacher wrote "Martin told Ms. Julie he was sad and wanted to be home with his Livi".  Is that not the sweetest thing you have ever heard??

Olivia still wakes just once during the night to eat and have her diaper changed.  She usually goes down for the night about 11 pm and then wakes to nurse about 5:30 am and right back to bed.  This morning she didn't wake up until 6:50 and I must say we are all feeling a little more refreshed this morning!  She is really the happiest in the morning and early afternoon.  We have figured out that swaddling her for a good afternoon nap is a must, and helps all parties involved!  I thought Martin was a swaddle addict....Olivia far surpasses him in the swaddling necessity!  

Is there anything cuter in the world than toothless grins?  I think not!!  Olivia seems to be more interested in being upright and looking around at everything going on now.  She likes to look at faces and seems to be trying to focus on more colors and bright things.  We go for her two month check up next Friday, so I will have more accurate stats then, but wanted to go ahead and do a 2 month post now.

2 Month Stats:

She is in size 1 diapers and is wearing size 0-3 months in clothes.  She definitely fills them out in length, but she is still long and lean.  I am guessing she weighs about 10 pounds now, although I won't know until Friday.  

She hates to be in her car seat in the car.  Doesn't mind it in the stroller or in a high chair if we go out to eat.  Just the car.  Sorry sister--we won't be returning the Tahoe anytime soon, so you're going to just have to grow out of this!

She is enjoying the swing and bouncy seat more.  Still kind of has to be talked into it though.  She has a paci and uses it for naps and during the day, but doesn't want it at bed.  This may change tomorrow but for now it's great, because it means we don't have to play "get me my paci" all night!

She still loves getting a bath, but poor girl apparently has the same dry skin as Martin.  Just means different shampoo and baby wash than Johnson and Johnsons.  And, her hair still sticks up on the top of her head in the back!  Into a half mohawk.  We LOVE it.  People always say, "I love how you fix her hair".  Hello---would I seriously give my two month old baby girl a mohawk??  People--it does that on it's own!  You can't do anything else with it!  Of course Martin rubs her head most of the day, so it doesn't help the situation any.

Bryan thought putting her monthly sticker on the swaddle was so funny!  She didn't think it was as amusing as he did.  He was mad that I was waking a sleeping baby for pictures.  Sorry--when it's time for a photo shoot, it's time for a photo shoot :)

This is what Martin was doing while we were taking pictures!  Jumping up and down and pulling every toy out of the toy organizer in the closet.  Precious right???  Have a great weekend all!
