2 Months!

Crazy to think that Miss Lydia is 2 months old already! I think we have all adjusted quite well and she seems to handle all the love and attention that she receives very well! She has started cooing, smiling and becoming more interested in her surroundings. Annaliese frequently gets excited and tells me, "Mom, Lydia is looking at me. And Mom, she smiled at me too!" Besides currently having her first cold, she is pretty perfect!

Lydia is pretty easy-going and goes along with whatever we might be doing for the day. As a result, we don't have much of a schedule and I think we are both okay with that!

Eating: Lydia eats roughly every 2 1/2-3 hours during the day. The last meal of the day happens close to 9:00 and then she makes it until somewhere between 2:00 and 4:00am. There are 2-3 days/week that she will actually sleep all night and wake up between 6-6:30! Before she had this cold, she was getting more efficient but not being able to breathe through her nose is slowing her down a bit! We have tried a bottle once and she took it with no problems!

Sleeping: Naps are hit and miss (probably due to the lack of a schedule!) She is sleeping in her crib in her own room, swaddled and with a sound machine on. We are trying to get her to bed after her bedtime feeding, which would be 9:00ish, but she generally is wide awake at this time of the day! Typically she falls asleep closer to 10:30! We have also been using a pacifier to help her sleep, simply because we don't want her sucking her thumb! We'll have to wait and see how that works out:) 

Clothing: She still fits into 3 month clothes; things that are 0-3 months are usually too small now. Diapers are size 1. 

Favorite activities: Bathtime, tummy time, and cuddling with Annaliese.
