Two Months Old

Happy Two Months, Sweet Adley Grace!

       The month of April was a wonderful month of getting to know our little daughter better-- figuring out her patterns and determining what makes her happy. We are loving having this girl as part of our family! Here are some current facts about Adley:

   PHYSICAL

• 14 lbs. and 24 inches long
• Likes to stretch legs and "climb up" Mommy or Daddy's chest 
• Not a big fan of tummy time 
• Enjoys kicking and moving arms when lying on the floor
• Loves gripping onto Mommy or Daddy's fingers
• Found her fist and loves sucking on it!
• Transitioned to size 2 diapers

SLEEPING HABITS

• Had one glorious night of sleeping through the night! (10:30-5:00)
• Most nights sleeps for one longer stretch (4-6 hours) then stays awake for 1-2 hours in the wee early hours of morning
• Doesn't typically fall asleep easily at night/ needs to be bounced
• Calms down best when swaddled and given a pacifier
• Naps are very inconsistent-- between 15 minutes to 2 hours

SOCIAL

• Started making cute cooing noises
• Holds gaze for longer stretches and can track people and objects
• Had her first smile at 7 weeks old

Actual day of her first smile, though didn't smile nearly as well for the camera!

OTHER

• Can be content in the bouncer or swing for longer stretches (esp. after eating!)
• LOTS of spit-up this month
• Loves taking baths now that we no longer use the bath hammock
• Likes listening to music at night and in the car
• Favorite place to be is in someone's arms; second favorite is the bouncer

Adley's big brothers continue to be so proud of her! Now that Adley has better neck control, Jaden and Cody enjoy holding her in a sitting position. Adley is very content lounging out with her brothers this way and can sit with them through the reading of an entire book.

 We all adore this precious 2-month-old and can't wait to see how she continues to grow and develop. We love you so much, sweet girl!
