Two Months Old!

Eliana turned two months old on Saturday!  Amazing!  I do think the second month feels like it went by more slowly than the first month but it was still great.  She is such a joy and we are so thankful for her.  We took her for her check-up yesterday and everything was good.  She had one shot yesterday and will get the other one today, along with an oral vaccine.  She wasn't a fan but did great.  She weighed a little under 9 pounds (8lbs 14oz) and was 22 inches long, putting her at 11% and 18% on the charts- she's a little one! She gained about two pounds this month though so I'm thankful.


Eliana is still on a three-hour schedule during the day, with about 1 hour being awake time, including feeding.  Sometimes she goes longer, sometimes shorter.  She goes to sleep quite easily, after a little bit of crying.  Sometimes she likes her pacifer, sometimes not, though she almost always spits it out while sleeping.  She can hold her head up well and likes to be able to look around and see what's going on.  She smiles back at us really well now and makes lots of cute little noises.  She's not turned over any more since she did it three times right after she turned one month old.  I guess she figured she checked that one off the list so why bother!  


At night she sleeps from about 10:30 to anywhere between 2:30 and 4:00 and then again until between 5:30 and 7:00.  Two nights ago she actually slept until 5:45!  That was amazing though I'm not sure when it will happen again.


She is out of her newborn clothes but her 0-3 month clothes are very roomy still.  They should easily last the rest of the summer.


She and I had our first weekend without Daddy this weekend and everything went well, despite me being quite nervous to be by myself.  It was a good confidence-building experience for me.


This morning when I finished feeding her we were laying in bed and she just laid there and smiled at me and "talked" to me for a couple of minutes.  It was the most adorable thing ever!  What a great gift she is to me (and to Drew too of course)!


So yeah, Eliana is doing great.  We are excited to continue to see her grow and develop.  We are so thankful!  Here are her two-month pics...
