Adeline at 2 Months Old

Our little Adeline is now two months old!  I might be biased, but I think she is pretty darn beautiful!  She is seriously one of the sweetest little babies.  Her temperament is very easy-going and incredibly sweet and loving.   She adds such a sweet spirit of love to our home.

What is Addie doing now?
  • She eats anywhere from 3-6 ounces every 3-4 hours (usually eats 4 ounces, but there are times when she eats less or more).
  • She spits up much less than her first month.  I think she's figured out a good pace to eat and does much better.  
  • She smiles A LOT when she is awake.  She has such a beautiful smile.  She is a happy, little baby.
  • She is still a momma's girl.  She loves for me to be in the room and prefers me to hold her.
  • She loves it when Beau comes home from work and will usually greet him with a huge smile.
  • Addie LOVES to watch Evie.  She follows her around with her eyes and smiles at her constantly.
  • She still loves kisses and loves to be held close.  
  • She naps best in the swing and seriously hates the bassinet during the day, but she will sleep great in the bassinet at night. 
  • She caught RSV this past month.  So sad!  She wasn't the "nightmare" story you hear about when newborns catch RSV, but it was still awful.  She didn't get hospitalized, but I did take her to the suction clinic twice to have them clean out her sinuses so she could breathe better.  It took her about 10 days to get over it.  It was a LONG 10 days for all of us.  We're SO happy she is healthy now.
  • She finally started sleeping a little longer at night.  Just within the past week she started giving me one long stint, usually 5-6 hours, and then it follows with a shorter stint of 3 hours. So, now we feed her twice a night instead of 3-4 times.  It's still exhausting, but it's amazing what one less feeding per night can do for me.
  • She started cooing.  Oh, how I love baby coo's!  I can talk to her and she'll coo back.  It's one of my most favorite things at this stage.
  • Her head/neck is getting much stronger/steadier.
  • She makes great eye contact.  
We took her to her 2-month Dr's appointment and she's growing perfectly.
Weight is 11 lbs, 13 oz. (65.36 %tile)
Length is 22.25" (39.73 %tile)
Head Circumference is in the 83.53 %tile.

She seriously is so perfect and we love her to pieces!  Our family is SO much happier with her in it.
