Today my last little baby girl is 2 months old. That means we only have 10 more months before we are celebrating her 1st birthday! How is it..? A friend recently wrote: We should never blink.
I love that. All of her sweet milestones are hitting me in the heart!
When she rolls over, smiles, coos, laughs and really reacts to us..it melts me. Every little new dimple in her skin and noticing her facial expressions that are all her own. I have never been more aware of 'this could be the last time I have a baby that does ....' Gah, it's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. Good thing I'm busy enough with my other 3 that I don't have too much time to cry in my cheerios over lost babyhood.
I do also love watching Sidney interact with her siblings. They really are so sweet to her and love her so. Even Hayes, who isn't a fan of me nursing her, has never been mean to her. He gets beeming proud when he can soothe her with her paci. The kids even gave me and Daniel a hard time the other night during dinner when we were eating and not picking her when she was crying..they literally took turns holding the paci in her mouth til we called them back to the table and the other would spring up and do their duty.."Mom..Dad..you need to pick Sidney up, she wants you to hold her." They are intuitive, I tell ya! Georgia is my most motherly one, while Emmaline will hold her for a few minutes but will move on to something else quickly. I have to pry Georgia away. Hayes told me, "Mommy, don't feed Sidney milk from there, give her milk from the kitchen!" and he has told me this a few different times. He said he is still my baby boy! So true! :)
At 2 months:
*Sidney wears size 1 diaper, but needs to move to size 2..she is barely squeezing in!
*She is in 3 months and some 3-6 mo clothes, no shoes yet, though!
*She has rolled over from tummy to back a handful of times, that happened at the beginning of this month. She hates tummy time so we don't do it as often as we need to.
*Sidney has pretty good head control, though you can definitely tell when she gets tired and doesn't want to work to hold it steady.
*She loves to be held standing up and to put weight on her chubby legs.
*Sidney likes to be outside, loves her carseat, loves when you sing or make mouth noises and still likes her paci. She still makes a yuck face when you give it to her sometimes though..
*She has gotten baby acne pretty bad the last 2 weeks. I am hoping it goes away soon as it looks awful and painful. I hope she doesn't hurt from it.
*She isn't sleeping through the night..she does ok, but I'm getting close to wanting to get her in her own room. She has established a really good morning nap and will easily nap for 3 hours, longer sometimes if I let her. She is a little more hit or miss in the afternoon and catnaps in her carseat and swing while we are busy. At night she is ready for bed around 10:30 and then wakes up anywhere from 2-4, then again from 6-7. She hit a growth spurt this week and has been eating more, but I am hoping it's just a spurt and will go back to normal (or better) soon!
*Sidney goes to dr. tomorrow so we will know her height/weight then..I'm guessing around 13 pounds..she is heavy and everyone who holds her comments on it!
We love you, Sidney Rose, and love the smiles and innocence you bring to our family. I can't wait to see you grow and change this next month!
