Oh Maddie girl,
I cannot believe you are two months old! This month has gone by wayy more quickly than the first one. You are changing so quickly!! The biggest (AND BEST) part of this month was your smile! Oh sweet girl, that smile covers your entire face. Sometimes we have to work to get it out of you, but it makes every sleepless night and temper tantrum so so worth it.
Molly girl is like night and day with you now. She is so attentive to you and gets very worried when you are crying. I just know your first word is going to be Molly or doggy. You guys are growing to be BEST friends!
You are definitely a Mama's girl and will pitch a fit if you want me. You LOVE bath time and would stay in there all night if we would let you. You also LOVE being in your carseat, but only if we are moving. LA traffic can cause you some serious distress - I'm right there with ya girl.
EAT
You are a hungry girl and when you want food you want.it.now. You are eating around 3 ounces about every 3 hours. Sometimes you won't finish your bottle and other times you are begging for more. It's definitely Mama's personality to only let you have exactly 3 ounces every 3 hours on the dot, but sometimes I give in :) You drink the super sensitive (super expensive) formula and you are still SO gassy. We will see what the doc thinks when we take you on Tuesday. Mama is eager for you to supplement your diet so we can keep that tummy full!
SLEEP
Sleep is a rollercoaster around here. At the beginning of the month, you were pretty predictable.. waking up every three hours on the dot to eat. When we got to Georgia and you were in a new place and your clock was off we had a BIG struggle getting you to sleep at all at night. After about a week in Georgia, not only were you back on schedule, but you were sleeping 6-8 hours straight!!! Of course, the second we came back to California you were off again. After two night of you waking up every hour Mama headed straight to Target to buy the same rocker/sleeper we were borrowing from your boyfriend Mick. Last night we were right back on schedule of waking up every three hours on the dot. After knowing what it feels like to sleep 6-8 hours straight, we are crossing our fingers and toes to get you back on that schedule!!
DEVELOPMENT
You are really starting to interact more with people, lights and sounds. You love lying on your new play mat, especially when you are faced toward the mirror. You can sit up in your bumbo for 5 or so minutes - that neck is really get stronger!! Your favorite toy by far is the light up jungle that is attached to your crib. You could stare at it for hours and you get TICKED when it automatically turns off (so does Mom and Dad, ha!) You are just starting to open up those little fist and grabbing onto stuff (especially Mama's hair). You are awake during the day a lot more these days and trying so hard to show us that personality!
