Two months - it goes by so fast!!
It's amazing how much one can change in a matter of a month! She is quite the giggler! In fact, the other night she started laughing in her sleep - enough to where it woke both of us up and the next morning we were like 'did you hear her??' Best sound ever!!
Check up went well - she now weighs 10lbs 4oz and is 21.5" long. Very happy to know she's gaining weight and is very healthy! Got our first round of shots... I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! She did really well - screamed for a brief second and then settled down. Great visit and we're happy to know she's on the right track!
Schedule... still pretty much the same. As she gets older we are playing the guessing game on how much she eats. We were doing the 4oz every 2.5 hours - we tried for 5oz every 3 hours but she never drank all of it and then when she did sleep she was waking up way before it was time. So... it's trial and error! We're trying to get on the every 3 hour schedule not just for her but also for my sanity!! The sleeping through the night - she may do it every other night. Our last feeding is between 10-11pm depending on the day we've had and sometimes she goes till 7am and sometimes she wakes (or starts stirring) around 4:30... we put the paci in her mouth to soothe her - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... with baby wise they say to eventually eliminate the last "dream feed"... well, I wouldn't call our last feed a dream feed and if eliminated I'm not sure she would sleep to even 4:30... man, this guessing game is hard!!! My goal is to have her up in her room by the time I go back to work... the way it's going I'm not so sure that'll happen - only cause we'd like her to show a pattern of sleeping through the night for at least a few nights in a row before we make the move. Keep your fingers crossed!!!
Look at her grow...
She's filling out - chubby cheeks and those chubby thighs... just want to eat her up! Everyone says she looks like me - I see Dray in her every once in a while - we're still guessing on her eye color - right now it's a mixture - a part of me really things they'll be green or hazel... possibly blue... but in reality I'm sure they will turn dark brown just like her momma!
She does great when we go out... loves the outdoors and car rides. We go to dinner a lot with her and for the most part she sleeps or just looks around - no big crying spells!!
I don't get in a lot of pictures - nor is there a lot of all of us... so, Nana and Grandpa were in last weekend and well - we were able to catch a few snapshots... we plan on getting portraits done later this year... but for now...
as you can see - Brynleigh was the only one dressed for the occasion!!!
We should have more pics next week for this weekend is our first road trip... wow... 5 hours in the car... yep, going to Houston to see family and to introduce Brynleigh. We are looking forward to seeing everyone - I think I'm more relaxed about the road trip now then I was a month ago... so... wish us much luck!!!
