Two Months

My baby girl is two months already. I can't believe how fast it is going. Good friends of ours just had a baby that was 6 ounces bigger than Brooklynn at birth. When I went to see her in the hospital I couldn't believe how little she was compared to Brooklynn. And I couldn't even remember Brooklynn being that small and yet she was smaller. It's amazing how fast it changes. Here is what Brooklynn is up to this month. 

• She has awesome neck control and can hold her head up on her own most of the time. She got a Bumbo seat that you can't put them in until the can hold their head and so she can use it! 
• She smiles and giggles so often. Most of the time it is in the mornings just for mama! She also "talks" too. This has become our nightly question routine. "What did you do today?" and then we listen to her babble and laugh and smile. So cute!

• Brooklynn still hasn't rolled over, but all in her due time. She can get to her side and then doesn't know what to do with her hand.
• Speaking of her hands, she likes to suck on them. She is tries to suck her thumb, but can't quite figure that out, so she ends up sucking on her hand. We are trying to keep her from being a thumb sucker.

• She likes to be naked now. She hated that when she was first born. 
• Brooklynn will respond to you. She mimics faces you make. We love that she is doing this. It's so cute. Mostly just for Nate and I.
• She sleeps anywhere between 7 and 10 hours a night! Amazing!
• Brooklynn is wearing 3 month clothes and just a few 6 month clothes, depending on the brand. She is defiantly getting bigger! (See picture below!)

• Her hair is getting so long! We have to wash it every other day or it gets too oily. Sometimes it looks strawberry blond and sometimes just dirty blond.
• She is still nursing like a champ! And takes a bottle just as well.
• She loves lights and movement. And she loves to dance and sway.

• She really likes to be held upright looking over your shoulder. She doesn't like to be cradled like a baby anymore!
• I started back to work this month and she has been doing great for Nana and Grandma Cathy. She is coming to work one day a week and is doing really well there as well. Mama was a little nervous about no work getting done, but she really is an easy baby.

We think our little peanut is two times as cute as last month. We love her little expressions and can't wait to see what this month brings. We feel so blessed each day! Happy two months sweet love!
