Addie Grey- Two months

I promise I was JUST writing your one month post, and now I'm writing your two month. If I could bottle you up and save you just as you are, I would.

We have had the best second month. Our days are so peaceful. We just hang out. You're starting to let me put you down more and more, which means I'm slowly starting to get stuff done around the house again. SLOWLY.

I go back to work in two weeks. We won't talk about that. It's a cause of a lot of stress and anxiety on my part, so we'll just leave it at that.

Tripp and Makinley continue to adore you. As I've said before (or maybe not) Tripp's love for you is just pure and innocent. Makinley's may be tinged with a tad bit of jealousy, but they both can't seem to get enough of you. And nothing you do bothers them. You could cry for hours (thank God you don't) and they wouldn't be bothered by it.

At two months, you.....

• are smiling all the time. Your whole face lights up!
• are starting to 'talk' to us. Lots of cooing and squeals.
• hardly ever cry and are easily soothed when you do
• still refuse to take a paci
• aren't on a schedule, but are starting to pace your eating out a little more
• seem to be the sleepiest/fussiest in the mornings. As the day goes on, you can stay awake for longer stretches.
• LOVE the sound of the hairdryer and your bouncy seat
• still sleep swaddled at  night
• have started sleeping a 5-6 hour stretch and then a 3 hour stretch. You start off in your pack and play and end up in bed with me. And, for now, I'm good with it.
• are ready to go to sleep for the night between 8-9.
• fill out your 0-3 month clothes
• weigh around 11 pounds and are about 23 1/2 inches long
• wear a size 1 diaper
• have gotten WAY better in your car seat. You still get the unhappiest when you're in it, but you'll ride for a good little bit now before getting worked up.
• still don't like your swing. In fact, I can't remember the last time you were in it.
• have started sucking your fist a good bit. I'm wondering if you will be a thumb or finger 'sucker' to soothe yourself.

All in all, you are the easiest of my three babies. I've told many people that you make having an infant easy and I love being your mommy. Now, let's see what month three holds in store!
