2 months

Our Acorn is 2 months old. How crazy is that?
Things she does:
1. holds her head up a lot! She is a little puppy.
2. follows things, esp. pictures/books/us with her eyes. Sometimes she moves her head as well. The pediatrician was surprised to see her 'track across whole field' or something like that. She gets bored sometimes, so books/cards are being used a lot.
3. smiles, fairly often, esp. in the morning. Does a very cute smile-inhale-happy cough thing.
4. coos and gurgles, very cute!
5. is still not sleeping a ton at night, we would like that to change!
6. is really into playing with her tongue, suddenly.
7. can sometimes get her fingers/hand in her mouth. is very happy about that.

The bf'ing has improved so much, it still isn't comfy, but it is doable and mostly predictable.

She had her shots yesterday and screamed bloody murder after the 3rd one, then quieted. Mr. S said she had this look like "I can handle this" during the first 2, but shot 3 was one too many. I fed her and she was calm quickly.
She weighed 9lb 15oz. I told Mr. S I should've let her eat fr 5 more minutes so she'd be an even 10lb! But, I realized she gained 1 lb. 11 oz in 22 days, which is amazing!

Here she is:

  1. So sweet! She looks so much like her papa! She is really growing. I'm so glad breastfeeding is getting easier.
