Our little girl is two months old today!
RLT has grown in the following ways:
Weight at Birth 6 lbs. 5 oz. Weight at 2 Months 11 lbs.
Height at Birth 19.75 in. Height at 2 Months 22.25 in.
Our sweet girl is growing like a weed! She is beginning to space out her meals to every 3 hours during the day. At night, she goes to bed around 9 pm and only eats once around 3 am before we all get up to start our day at 7 am. We I am so excited to only be getting up once in the middle of the night now!
Developmentally, she is right on track. She kicks her legs, stands on our laps, grasps objects when placed in her hands, and smiles all of the time. She is definitely a social butterfly. RLT can hold her head up for a few seconds while on her tummy. She turns her head to look toward mommy and daddy's voices. The only thing that makes that better is she is starting to coo at us, too! It is so special and sweet!
RLT has also had a lot of firsts this month. She went to her first outlet mall to take advantage of some great post-holiday deals, slept through her first New Year's Eve celebration, and she went to see her first movie. We figure it's never to early to expose her to some culture. She can always say that her first experience in the movie theater was being sung to sleep by the beautiful voices of Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway in Les Miserables!
Finally, and unfortunately, our precious daughter spent the end of her second month with a terrible cold. She spiked a fever of 100.8 and the doctor told us to take her to the emergency room. The poor thing got her first dose of Infant's Tylenol, her first x-ray, and her first needle-poke to get blood drawn. Thank goodness all of the tests came back negative. All she had was her first cold! She was such a trooper. Even through all of her sneezing, coughing, and congestion, she continued to smile like it was any other day. She is one amazing girl!
