Two Months Old

Caroline Jean- Two Months Old

This age is so much fun!  Caroline is such a sweet, happy baby.  We love watching her little personality emerge more each day.  She is so smiley- the boys are always rewarded when they take the time to talk to her- she flashes one of her big toothless grins :)  It's hard to believe that she is already two months old- sometimes I wish that life had a pause button.   We sure love our little girl to pieces!

She is 23.75" long (95%), weighs 10lbs, 11oz (25%), and her head is 15.25" (50%).
Her brothers were a little bigger:
Tommy was 24" long, weighed 12lbs, 12oz, and his head was 15.94".
Henry was 24" long, weighed 12lbs, 5oz, and his head was 15.75". 

What is Caroline up to at 2 months?

- She eats every 2-3 hours during the day- about 5-6 feedings a day.
-She sleeps through the night consistently!!  Usually 8:15pm- 8:15am (she probably could go longer, but I have to wake her to bring Tommy to school!)
- Naps are a little more predictable- a short morning nap, a longer afternoon nap, and sometimes a cat nap around dinner time.
-She wears size 1 diaper and size 3 month clothes.
-She smiles often and is trying to "talk," but it requires alot of effort!
-She loves to sit in her baby seat and bat at the toys hanging from it.  She is a wiggle worm when she is awake!
-She is alert more often and for longer periods of time.

How in the world are you getting her to sleep 12 hours all night?!!!! That is so great for you! If you have a trick please share!! I am so worried about the lack of sleep I am about to begin encountering. She is a cutie :)
