2 Months Old

Weight-9 pounds 14 ounces-40th percentile (up from 8.10)

Length-23 inches-75th percentile (up from 21 inches)

Clothes-0-3 months

Diapers-newborn

Eating-Every 3 hours.  Since I am nursing her we don't really know how much she is eating.  I have started feeding her on just one side at a time.  She eats any where between 8-10 minutes.  She is getting better at taking a bottle too!  I nurse her at her last feeding of the day, then I pump and feed her the rest from a bottle.  She usually eats about 2 ounces in the bottle and it takes her about 10-15 minutes.  Her last feeding for the night has been taking around an hour to complete.  It's a bit exhausting, but she does go right to sleep when we finally put her in bed!

Sleep-Anna is sleeping between 5-6 hours for the first stretch at night (although she has done 7-9 hours several times).  The second stretch is usually between 3-4 hours.  I feed her, burp her, change her, and put her right back to bed.  It takes about 15 minutes for all of it!  The best part is that she goes right back to sleep!  During the day she is still taking about 5-6 naps a day.  Each nap is usually around 1.5-2 hours.  She has started sleeping in the pack 'n play at night.  It gives her more room to stretch out!  She is still taking naps in her crib.  She prefers to sleep in a bed for naps.  She will also sleep in her car seat if we are out running errands.  She doesn't sleep well when she is being held by others.  

Other-Anna loves to smile!  She smiles all the time!  She is also starting to find her voice.  She will try to talk to me after she eats.  I was able to capture her smiling in a video.  It was so cute.  She is still a really good baby.  She is a good eater and a good sleeper.  After she eats, she is content for about 15-20 minutes, then she wants to be held!  It's almost like clock work.  She also still has a fussy time, usually between 7-9 at night.  The only way to make her happy is to bounce her and hold her paci in her mouth.  This is also the only time of the day that she will take a paci.  She is also starting to find her hands.  A few times this past week she was able to get her thumb or finger in her mouth.  She really likes this!  I think she is going to be a thumb sucker like her brother.  

Here are some pictures from Anna's two month photo shoot!
