Daddy & I love you so much peanut. Tomorrow you and I are off to Sarasota for our first mama-daughter trip (Daddy & Pap are meeting us down there on Friday!)...sun, sand and a visit with lots of friends! What a start to your 3rd month of life :)
Two months old! You my girl are one infant with the mostess. In your second month, you became cool with life. Something just clicked. We clicked. A definitive change of course happened that Tuesday morning of your 7th week of life and from that morning we have just been on the up & up! With cheeks that go on for days, you've been growing like a weed and it makes me oh so very happy. At your 2 month visit you were 12lbs 12oz and 23.25" long...our little butterball ;) It's no surprise---Daddy and I were both chunkers as babies and you are following suit. I say to you almost everyday "I could just eat you up!" and smother you in kisses in those chin and neck rolls that everyone loves to comment on! You *barely* fit into your 0-3mo clothing, Carter's 3mo stuff fits perfectly right now, and in BabyGap/Old Navy you are in 3-6mo. 90% straight across the board and I think with your weight and age your kicks and grasp has become so very strong. You love to coo and talk to Mama on your changing table and hearing that little voice just makes me melt. We have long conversations back and forth about what we did that day or all the adventures we will one day take together. You LOVE moving your head back and forth scoping out all that you can see (you still love your black & white lambie mobile) and have created a little bald spot where all the hair has rubbed off haha! And speaking of your hair, I think it is just like Mommy's as a baby...lots of strawberry blonde fine locks. It's starting to grow in a bit, but for now you're rocking the bald dome. You've been going to sleep no later that 830pm (sometimes as early as 730) and will sleep a 5-6hr stretch depending on when you last ate. I'm still doing the dreamfeed most nights and I think it gives you a good buffer to only needing one true night feeding at 3/4am. You like to wake up around 615-7am depending on when your bedtime was. (I can't believe I've survived on such little sleep, I'm not sure I'd know what to do with 8+ hours!) My favorite time of day with you is still bouncing you to sleep before naps or bedtime. Watching your eyes get heavy and how relaxed you get when cradled in my arms is just the sweetest feeling in all the world. Your smiles are coming more frequently these days but you definitely reserve them for Mama the most (Or Aunt Sarah who you definitely thought was me today!) Bath time has become a favorite activity of ours and you have also finally become OK with the carseat. We were a little nervous for your first trip back to PA to see Nana & PopPop but you were a champ and loved the rumble of the car.

I had to laugh at this because just yesterday I was thinking to myself how ridiculous it is that I need at least 8 hours of sleep a night to make it through the day... and how abruptly that's going to come to an end in just a short weeks! :) haha - SO SO happy to read this update though and that things are settling down already!
