2 Months Old

Raise your hand if you are 2 months old today! Yes, Miriam, I see that hand ...
She's pretty happy about growing up so fast!


We've left NEWBORN diapers behind ... and newborn clothes are about to go into the storage bins. It's bittersweet. You want your baby to grow because that is healthy and normal - but it is hard to give up that tiny baby - they aren't that tiny for very long at all. I'm just thankful for each day - and am glad to have had one more chance to take care of a newborn baby.
SLEEPING - Miriam settles down MOST nights between 11 p.m. and midnight (a nightowl like her mom). She's been waking between 4 - 5 a.m. to nurse a few minutes and then sleeps til 8 a.m.-ish. She's up for a short while and then takes a long morning nap. Afternoons are usually kind of unscheduled because we have to go pick up Andrew and Anna from school and run errands or go to the kids' activities or church.

EATING - still nursing almost exclusively. Occasionally she will take a bottle of formula - especially in the evenings when it just seems she is extra hungry or if we are out and about for a very long time.

Tomorrow we have a 2 month check up with our pediatrician - and I'm anxious to see how much Miss M weighs now. I'm guessing 10+ lbs. In any case, it is obvious she has grown up quite a bit since last month:
