Julia Ann-2 months!!


Can't believe this sweet little peanut is 2 months already!!  She is such a joy and continues to be such a sweet, laid back little girl.  She is smiling frequently and brightens up when we are smiling at her.  She is starting to coo regularly and is always making noises in her sleep (she must have good dreams!) Speaking of sleep, she is a fabulous sleeper (which I could not say about the first two so will brag a little about her!)  At 5 weeks she slept for 5 hours and 40 minutes which was her longest stretch yet and then on  November 5th she slept from 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.!!  Since then most nights she continues to do about that-varying on either end but pretty close to it.  I'm pretty sure that Joseph and Ella were still waking every 3-4 hours during the night until 5 months so this is amazing in my book! She loves to be swaddled which definitely helps. She also is a great napper.  In the morning she may sleep as long as 3 hours and sleeps great in the carseat where it hardly phases her if she is in the car or the stroller or at home.  The afternoons it just kind of depends what we we are doing as to where and when she naps but she snoozes off and on.  She continues to be a very, very happy baby.  Honestly, she rarely cries-we still haven't had to take any drastic measures to get her to calm down-you either feed her or swaddle her and give her the paci and she is fine (no walking back and forth, no sitting on the dryer, etc.)  The swing that we borrowed from the Kneller family is working out so well and she continues to love it.   At her 2 month appointment on November 17th she weighed in at 12 pounds, 13 ounces (74th percentile) and is 23 1/2 inches long (81st percentile.)  Dr. Romero said she looks great and I just really can't believe that she's 2 months already (I know, I'll be saying that every month that I do her monthly update!)  So, here she is-our sweet little 2 month old and lots of her!
2 months today!
