2 Months!

As expected, time is flying by and our little peanut is 2 months old already! I am loving this stage...especially now that she is smiling, cooing and in general, just more responsive to us! She even giggles on occasion!




I know I wasn't really keeping very good track of Annaliese's schedule at this point so I can't compare too much in how our day-to-day activities are looking...but here is a glimpse at 2 month old Haleigh:

Eating: Constantly!! At least that's what it feels like:) I guess I shouldn't complain that she nurses wonderfully...she is pretty efficient at it too! Right now, she typically eats around 6:30, 9:00-9:30, 12:00, 2:30, 5:00, and 7:00-7:30. (I'm sure there are plenty of people who would say that eating only 6 times/24 hrs isn't sufficient but it seems to be working quite well for us!)

Sleeping: Fabulously! She goes down for the night around 8:00, give or take a half hour, and for the past almost 2 weeks, has slept until between 6 and 6:30am! Yes, I have been getting a solid night of sleep recently and it is amazing!! Sometimes we swaddle her, sometimes not- depends on how cold it is supposed to be! During the night, we turn the sound machine on and if she naps in her room,  I turn it on then too. However, her nap schedule during the day is inconsistent at best. I try to have her follow the whole eat, play/be awake, sleep cycle but it's been hard to do. Annaliese doesn't like Haleigh to be asleep so she is constantly waking her up, smothering her with kisses or being obnoxious in other big-sister sorts of ways! As a result, Haleigh often fall asleep sitting in her bouncy seat or in the baby bjorn when we are outside!


Clothes: Everything is either 3 mon or 3-6 month. The newborn items have all been packed away, sadly. Some of them she hardly wore:( And we've been in size 1 diapers for the past month!

Favorite Activities: Bath-time, sucking her thumb...I tried to prevent this but she is determined! Riding in the car, cuddling and being held, listening to music.

Things she doesn't like: Annaliese pulling her pacifier out of her mouth, being hungry and that's about it!!
