Elise - 2 Months

Dear Elise,

Time is flying by - yesterday you were 2 months old! You are growing every day right before our eyes. Here is what you have been up to:

• You were at the Dr. just before Thanksgiving and you weighed 9lbs. 1oz, with clothes and a full diaper, so we think you were at a little under 9lbs. You will go to the Dr. for your first shots this Friday and we will know an updated weight then.
• You eat 3oz. every 3 hours, except after your bedtime feeding, when you stretch to 4-5 hours--we are really grateful for the extra sleep time we get then!
• You wear size 1 diapers.
• You are at the in between stage for clothing. We have a few 0-3 month outfits that work well, but you are busting out of newborn size and swimming in 3 month size.
• Your eyes are still blue, a very dark slate blue and we think they may change before it is all said and done.
• You still have a ton of spiky hair and we love experimenting with different headbands. You are a good sport and tolerate it!
• You are a lot more alert during the day and wake only once in a typical night.
• You get the hiccups all the time!
• You sleep in your crib, since you didn't like the pack-n-play in our room.
• You enjoy taking walks with Scarlett and your Daddy.
• You stayed with your first babysitters this month, twice with Mimi and then with Ms. Judy at church. You did great!
• You smile and "talk" to us a lot and we think it is the best sound!
• Your Daddy texts me funny pics of you during the day while I am at work. They make me smile!

You change so much every day and we feel so blessed to be a part of it!
