hayes was 2 months old yesterday! (8/29/12)
hazie mae!! you are 2 months old and will be 9 weeks old tomorrow! time is flying by. your 2 month appointment (shots!! oh joy!) is next week so i'll update your stats after that.
here are some little facts about your second month -
*you moved up to a size 1 diaper
*you are still sleeping well at night, waking once to eat after your late night feeding. last night you slept from 11:30 until 5:30 this morning, ate, and then went back down until 8.
*you still sleep in the pack-n-play beside mine & your daddy's bed.
*you started smiling this month! real, on-purpose smiles. i work hard for those smiles and look pretty ridiculous, but you think i'm super funny.
*you took your first trip to your sister's favorite place - folkston. still working on that post - having issues with those pics uploading correctly.
*you take your naps in the swing.
*we swaddle you every night. you sleep in the nap-nanny every night. we will try to back you off of this every so often. you started out flat on your back a few nights ago and i ended up putting you back in the nap nanny because you were quite restless.
*prevacid is working well for you! you are much more comfortable after feedings now. you are still a little fussy at times and are VERY particular about the way you are held, but you are getting much better! you have even spent some time under your play gym and in your bouncy seat this week. you don't want to be there for long, but you are beginning to enjoy these things. being held (especially in the bjorn) is still your favorite. you are so cuddly!
*your hair is just like your sister's was at this same age. yours is a bit lighter, but the texture is the same and the ends curl up after bath and in the humidity. it's too soon to tell what kind of hair you are going to have i know, but if we had to guess then we'd say that we are on our way to having curly girly number 2. your poor mama in the mornings;)
*you are still exclusively breastfed. you nurse every 2 and a half to 3 hours (give or take, but usually it's right around every 3). except at night. you usually go 4 hours at night - last night you went 6! keep that up, baby hayes!!
*you wear 0-3month clothing and some newborn things.
*you take a paci but you're not obsessed with it. every single time i laid you down to change your diaper today you tried so hard to suck on your thumb. you want to, and sometimes you are able to make it work for a few seconds, but you haven't mastered it yet. if i had to guess, i would say that we have another thumb sucker on our hands! fine with me....go ahead and do it already so that you can pacify yourself!! i am not a paci fan...can't ever find one when i need it. it falls out and we have to put it back in (this is not an issue at night yet thankfully). and on top of that, the brand you like is that kind that the hospitals use - NO hook so i can't hook it onto the cute and handy "H" paci clips that several people gave us to attach to your clothes. so just go ahead, be a thumb sucker and we'll just throw those thumb guards on you at age 2.
*we love you! sk said to me yesterday, "i love your baby hayes, mommy!' and she really does. she got a little irritated with you one time - you were screaming like crazy in the car one day when her favorite song came on the radio and she couldn't hear it. she said, "please baby hayes, stop that crying, i can't hear "speakers go boom boom!!"
we know that you are starting to feel better and that a happier hazie is on her way. i so wish that you didn't have reflux and that you were more content. i feel like we are always counting down the weeks until you hit 3 months which seems to be when everything gets better for babies like you. that's just sad! we're waiting around for you to get older! i want to enjoy this little tiny newborn stage with you, but i want you to enjoy your life too.....so we wait. and it's getting better and better.
we are so glad you are part of our family!! we are so glad that you are a sweet little girl.
