Alli, month 2

at two months:

:: she weighs 10 pounds (75th percentile baby!) and wears size 1 diapers.
:: she's busting out of newborn clothes and now wears 0-3.
:: her bedtime is 11-ish and she sleeps through the night. yes, you read that right. 7am wakeup. what what!
:: she likes to be soothed with a paci, swaddle wrap, and the big blue exercise ball. but if it's food she really wants, she is a total drama queen, must have that bottle pronto!!!
:: her feedings aren't super consistent but we always shoot for a 4 oz bottle and go from there. sometimes she wants 6 oz! and she consumes 25-28 oz in a 24 hour period
:: she is the best burper - like a man! and the other end as well - like a man! it's comical when people are over  and they get interrupted by this what sounds like stew on the burner bubbling over and dripping to the floor. gross, right? but we are so thankful for healthy bowels.. it's the little things!
:: she still rolls - but not as often - her leg strength is incredible,  quite the kicker when on her tummy.
:: she holds your gaze long and deep, as if she is trying to figure you out... and she's actually forming opinions.
:: she startles after accidentally batting a toy hanging from her jungle gym mat then she'll stare it down curious and confused.
:: she naps after being awake 1.5 hours. anything over 2 hours- she can't deal...
:: she definitely knows mama's and daddy's voice and seems to recognize grandma and papa too by cooing back.


happy 2 months, to our miracle. we love you so!
