March 2017

More of the same this month.  We seem to have gotten into a rhythm and Addison is back to being my buddy!  It took her a couple of weeks, but she seems happy.  At the beginning of the month Addison had an ear infection so we got to experience a NB’s sleeping pattern with a sick child.  It was a tag team effort and we made it through but there were a few sleepless nights!  Once Addy got on meds, her cough finally started to go away too thankfully.  Hailey’s hair had started to fall out last month due to cradle cap and now it is growing back!  It is growing in dark currently.  Hailey had her first round of shots for her 2 month appointment and it broke my heart to see her so upset.  She handled them pretty well, but I gave her some Tylenol to take the edge off. 

Sleeping – Hailey is sleeping longer stretches through the night.  She is still waking up roughly 3 times a night but Justin stays up as late as he possibly can so I only have to wake up with her twice until morning.  It isn’t horrible, but I sometimes need a quick nap in the mornings.   

Eating – she is still going strong with her 2 oz. bottles every couple of hours.  We seem to have found a formula that works for her.  She is staying strong on Smiliac Total Comfort so far.

Clothing – I have pulled out most of Addy’s 3 month old outfits, but it still cracks me up that the doctors all thought she was going to be a huge baby!  The 3 month old outfits are a little big on her body but seem short on her long arms.  She hangs out most days in pj’s because they seem to be the easiest thing to change!

Stats from 2 month appointment –

            Weight – 10 lbs 15 oz (43^rd percentile)

Height – 23.5 inches (92^nd percentile)

Head – 14.96 inches (45^th percentile)

Loves – Hailey is still a big snuggler!  I love it when she falls asleep on my chest and is all cozy.  She continues to love watching Addison.  She has really started to smile and Addison gets the most smiles from her.  She has also started being very vocal.  The cooing, yelling and screeching is my favorite, she just sounds so cute!  She is really good a mimicking sounds too.  Justin & Addy will hover over her and make faces & sounds and it really looks like she is trying to do the same.  I love listening to Addy & Hailey talk!  Addy is just so good with her and tries to help all the time. 

Hates – there isn’t much this girl doesn’t like.  She gets annoyed to be in the same position/place for too long and definitely enjoys being held which makes life tough when you put her down.  She gets fussy if you take too long getting a bottle but other than that not much of a complainer!
