2 Months Old

Presley's second month came in like a lion, and went out like a lamb. At the beginning of the month, we had no eating schedule what so ever. No nap schedule. No sleep schedule. And she was fussy in the late afternoon/early night. (So much so that we were worried that she might be colicky.) As the month wore on, things started looking up. I finally got Presley on an eating schedule. I wake her up every morning at 8:00 to feed her, then feed her every 3 hours or so. We start our bedtime routine around 8:15 and do our last feeding at 8:30. She has been sleeping anywhere from 6 to 8 hour stretches. She is usually up at 3:30 and then goes back down until I wake her. So easy! We realized that one reason she was so fussy at night was because she was just done. She was ready to be put to bed, which was fine by me, because I love having all by babies to sleep by 9:00. John and I actually get to watch Lost together live.

Presley is also loving her bath time. She just coos and smiles and kicks her fat legs. This baby has got some rolls on her, and I LOVE IT!!

Nap time is still crazy. There is no schedule. No certain place she likes to nap. She usually naps in my arms or on our guest bed. Sometimes she likes the swing, but not much.

Her neck is getting stronger, but she is still a bobble head. She is doing better holding it up a little at tummy time.

She loves for me to talk to her. She talks back and smiles. It is the best. She loves her Baby Einstein mat. She loves lights and fans. She loves to be bounced.

She is a great baby. We are blessed.

We had her two month check up, and she checked out perfectly. She got three shots, but was a trouper. She cried more because I had to put her down, but once it was all over and I could pick her up, she was happy again. Here are her stats:

Weight: 11.12 pounds (75%)

Height: 23 inches (75%)

Head Circumference: 39 cm (50%)
