Charlotte Grace-Month 2

Sweet baby girl Charlotte turned 2 months on October 3rd!  How can that be?!? 
She continues to be a laid back, relaxed baby, who definitely likes to eat and is turning into a very social baby who is full of smiles and coos for anyone who looks at her, but especially for her Momma.  
October 5th
She still has cradle cap on her head and between her eyebrows. 
Love this little face.  
She slept through the night on October 15th!!!!  Granted, she slept in the swing but she went from 8:15 to 6:30, so let that swing rock her all night long!!!  Incredible!  None of the other kids have ever been even close to sleeping through the night at this age so I feel very lucky and definitely think that she knows that she has to let me have a decent night's sleep if I am going to stay sane during the day.  The ironic thing was that the swing broke the following night-ahhh!!!  After a few nights of sleeping in the broken swing (it just wasn't swinging) I was on the lookout for a new one and ended up with two different swings and a rock and play.  Ha!  She actually didn't do that bad not swinging (was only up once most nights) but I couldn't imagine going the next few months without one so we are all set now!  
October 6th
She does great when she is swaddled and seems to almost say, "Thank you mom, that's just what I needed" once I do so.  
October 9th
Ella took this picture of her baby (well, actually Julia's baby that Ella has taken over) sleeping next to Charlotte.
Hanging with Jules on October 10th
I still can't figure out who she most looks like-definitely a combination of all three of them but in this next picture I see a lot of Joseph actually.  
Ready for a night (or day) on the town on October 11th 
Here are some sweet pictures from October 17th

Looking mighty chubby and content after her first run with me at Lake Mirarmar on October 19th.  
 October 22nd
 Nice and clean after a bath on October 24th.  
 Ella snapped this picture on October 26th and I love that she got her all snuggled up on me and with Julia in the background!
 Her legs are moving quickly when she lays down these days-lots of kicks!!  
 On Halloween, I put these pajamas on her and wanted to get her picture because I knew that I had pictures of both Julia and Ella in the same pajamas around the same time with basically the same pose. 
 
 I had to include Joseph in the collage, too, but here are the 4 kiddos all around 2 months of age with the girls wearing the same outfits.  LOVE!!!  
 Hanging out in the kitchen with us while getting dinner ready. 
She had her 2 month appointment on November 4th and weighed 14 pounds, 1 ounce (95th percentile) and was 59.1 cm long (83rd percentile). Dr. Friedmann said she looked perfect and was doing great.  She received her 2 month vaccines and thankfully didn't have any reactions to them and just gave the nurse her cute little pout while getting the shots and then burst into tears once she was all done with them.  
 Here are pictures from Charlotte on her actual 2 month birthday.  I know there are way too many of them but when I tried to delete one I'd look at it and think, "This one looks a little different than the one above so I want to keep it!"  This stage goes by so fast and I feel like she changes so quickly that I want to keep them all to document all of her sweet little faces.  Happy 2 months, Charlotte!
