Two

Happy Two Months Old, Lauren!!

First let me say, I CANNOT get over how big you are. You no longer look like a tiny little newborn - and the numbers prove it! 


Weight: 11 pounds 7 ounces (75%)
Height: 24 inches (95%)
Head Circumference: 15 1/4 inches (50%)


In other news: You are actually growing hair. This is pretty exciting considering that your big sister was basically bald until close to two years old!

We seem to have worked our way out of the extreme colic, and life is a little less noisy these days! We have also weaned you off of your reflux meds and you seem to be doing just fine!


You are still eating more frequently than I would like and my attempts at a predictable schedule do not seem to be as successful as they were with your brother and sister at this age. While not on a set schedule, we do adhere to the eat-play-sleep approach and that works out fairly well - you tend to stay awake for longer periods of time these days, especially when fighting sleep and during the "night crazies" from about 5PM until 9 PM.


You really do resemble Aidan (right down to the big brown eyes), but you have the most gorgeous long lashes and a sweet tiny little mouth and long dainty fingers (just like Ella's)!

Things you love:

• Your fist / thumb
• Baths
• Ceiling fans
• Having your head rubbed
• Being worn
• Being held, cuddled and sung to
• Chatting, cooing and kicking your legs
• Giggling - you even giggle in your sleep! 
• Your butterfly rattle
• Sitting on my lap and watching Ella and Aidan play

Things you hate:

• Being startled
• Vaccines
• A dirty diaper
• Being left alone
• Cold hands
• The play mat

A few stats to remember:

Bottle amount: 4 ounces

Diapers: Size 1

Clothing: Size 3-6 Months
