she had her 2 month doctor appointment on tuesday. it went well, except she had to get three shots in her little thighs. thank goodness for tylenol! when the tylenol wore off, she would cry in pain when she moved her legs a lot or if you touched her legs where she got the shots. she was better by the evening, but her painful little cries during the day got to me! here are her 2 month stats:
weight: 10 lb. 11 oz. (50%)
height: 22.5 in. (75%)
head: 15.5 (75 %)
here are some things she is doing at 2 months:
- making different noises to let us know what she's liking and not liking :) she'll make cooing noises when she's happy about things, and will make these pitiful half cry sounds that last usually half of a second to let us know when she's had enough of a toy, holding position, play mat, etc..
- smiles frequently when interacting with stephen and i...nothing better than that!
- frequently uses her eyes to follow me when i'm doing things around her
- still loves her bath time!
- has been sleeping 6-9 hour stretches during the night :) i hope posting this does not jinx this wonderful thing!
- sucks her hand or thumb. on the nights she's gone the long nine hour stretches, we'll go in and check on her, and she is sucking her thumb!
- her head and neck control seems to be getting better and better. if you put her on your shoulder, she will frequently straighten her back and move her head from one side to the other to check out her surroundings.
i took this picture today. i've been wanting to try putting just a bow in her hair to see if it held, and it did. i thought it looked pretty cute!
when stephen's holding her on his shoulder, her little face looks so cute. so, we tried to capture this on my shoulder. not quite the face i was hoping for :)
addison (in the middle) having a playdate with her boys. ranger is on the left (born in january) and cooper is on the right (born in february).
of course, i have to post a picture of layla. she was hanging next to addison, while she was chillin' on her boppy.
addison and papaw. my parents came for a visit last week...love having them here! my mom helped me clean the house, and get closets and drawers cleaned out. she also went through all of addison's clothes, and put the ones she had grown out of away and organized the ones that she is wearing now. one thing debby can do is get things done! love you, mom!
i hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Precious! I had to laugh a little at your descriptions...some undertones of a speech path report :) (the use of "frequently")!! so glad she is sleeping well...what a blessing! J and I are planning on coming for Gavin's reception in Dallas...will you guys be in town?? love ya'll, Heather
ReplyDeleteCourtney...she is just beautiful! Glad everything is going well for you. I can't wait to see her in person hopefully at the reunion in the fall! She'll be much bigger by then. Happy "First" Mother's Day! Enjoy your day with your sweet baby girl!
ReplyDeleteheather, your comments made me laugh. you know you're a speech path. when you use frequently, because you want people to know that it doesn't happen all the time :) glad you can understand :) i guess i'm keeping my report writing skills up while off of work!
ReplyDeletewhat a cutie she is! she looks great in her little hair bows :0) Hope she keeps up the good work in sleeping!
