2 months - a week late

Baby Rose,

I can't believe that you are 2 months old (and a week) already!

Your Auntie Daisy was here when we took this pic, so she was able to help me get a smile :).

Sleeping - You were doing very well and sleeping from our last feed at 10 - 10:30 through until 7:30 or even 8:30 if we slept that long! Your daddy and I got sick last week and for some reason after that you have regressed a bit and have started waking up at 3:30 am every night.  Then you come into bed with us and sleep another few hours.

Feeding:  We are on a pretty good schedule of feeding you.  We nurse you if you wake up overnight (3:30 a.m. lately) then a few ounces at 7 or 8 am (I nurse you then if you did not wake up overnight), then 4-5 ounces at 10 am, 1 pm, 4 pm, then I nurse you at 7 pm. And you get 4-5 ounces at 10 pm before we go to bed.

Activities:  You are not a huge fan of your swing.  You will stay in there sometimes.  We do tummy time with you several times a week.  Your babysitter Sandy told us that you did well in the Bumbo chair, so we have been doing that for periods of time now.  You really want to sit up, so the Bumbo is great for helping you see more.  You also are wanting to roll.  We have to watch you more carefully and cannot leave you on furniture now unattended.

Cute things:  You are smiling a lot now.  We get the best smiles from you on your changing table oddly. There seem to be some shadows on the wall that you like.  You make the cutest baby sounds.  Your Daddy's mom (Ummuchi) loves to talk to you on the phone.  The other night she talked to you for 20 minutes! I have no idea what she says to you.  It is all in Malyalam.  But, you do smile some, and try to lean into the phone.  You often fall asleep while she talks to you.

Personality:  You are awake a lot more now.  You like to talk some and make cute sounds.  You are less irritable now unless you are hungry.  You really are a pretty easy baby.  You like to be bounced.  So, if you are upset and the soothie doesn't make you happy I can usually calm you down by bouncing.

Three Month Rundown:
Weight: 12 pounds at your appointment on 1-10.  You are in the 67th percentile for weight
Height: in the 87th percentile, I can't remember what it was!
Bumbo: Just started this week – still a little wobbly in it.
Boppy Lounger Pillow:  You have started sliding out of them some. They can still be helpful though.  We have one in your Moses basket which is on the ground, so you don't ro
Car Seat:  You are not a a huge fan.  You often cry for the first few minutes you are in it.  But then you usually go to sleep.
Bottles: You do really well switching between nursing and our Tommee Tippe bottles

Pacifier: You LOVE your green infant soothie.  We try to sanitize it every day when we sanitize your bottles.
Teeth: Zero, but some
drool and chewing on fingers.
