It is so hard to believe my baby girl is already 2 months old! I am sure I will say this every month/ year for the rest of her life though! I swear it feels like only yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital, but at the same time I can't even remember a life without her :) She brings more happiness to us than words will ever describe!
Weighing 10 lbs. and 22.25" long, Aria is growing like a weed! She did really well at the doctors, receiving 2 shots, but when we got home it was an absolute nightmare! We were warned that she would most likely be fussy, but it was still heartbreaking watching her cry for three hours. After cuddling and nursing her, I finally gave her the smallest amount of baby Tylenol and it seemed to do the trick. The next day she was back to her happy self!
Aria really is the best baby. She is so interactive, always smiling, babbling & laughing. Of course she has her fussy moments, but overall I'd say we got extremely lucky. Starting around 6 weeks she began sleeping 7-8 hours at night usually waking up between 5-6 a.m. for a feeding, then back to sleep for another 3-4 hours. She really fights her daytime naps, despite being exhausted. I do get her to take a nice 3 hour nap in the afternoon, but more often than not I am holding her. I know some people will say I am spoiling her by doing that, but she is only this age once and I want to soak up every minute of it! We are trying to practice napping on her own in the morning though :)
Other things she enjoys includes singing, compliments, head massages and being tickled! It is so funny because Tony & I make up silly songs and sing to her constantly and she just loves it! She also can't get enough of seeing her reflection and being told how pretty she is ;)
