Happy 2 Months Aubrey!

Happy 2 Months Aubrey!

Aubrey is doing great! At her two month check up she weighed 11.7 lbs and is 22 1/2 inches long. Both are are around the 50-60th percentile. Developmentally she is on target and the Doctor commented that she acts like a 4 month old. (Mostly because she is so alert and active) She smiles, coos, laughs (though her *real* laugh we hear mostly while she sleeps), follows objects at a greater distance, pushes with her legs/feet, and has even begun reaching for objects! This month we should start seeing her roll from her tummy to back. She got her two month shots (three in the leg and one oral) and she was not a happy camper that night! It took her a couple of days to be back to her normal self.

Angry Aubrey! 

Aubrey is now sleeping longer at night. Her first stretch of sleep is usually 9:00-4:00ish and then she'll go back to sleep untill 7:30. Of course we have our nights where she wants to be up at 2ish, but I'm still at the point where I am totally okay with that! She is still wanting to be held for naps during the day, and I'm hoping she starts to grow out of this soon. (suggestions welcome!) A total life saver has been a last minute purchase I made late in my pregnancy: the Baby K'Tan. At first she hated it but after a few attempts she loves it. I put her in it and clean a little bit around the house as she falls asleep. I now have some sanity back as I'm not always stuck on the sofa as she sleeps on my chest. Hooray!

I noticed I have two pictures of her in her Bouncer but she really loves it!

Sleepy Aubrey- she has always hated being swaddled but I HAVE to swaddle her legs otherwise she kicks so much she wakes her self up. She moves a lot during sleep. I always find she has wriggled her way to the bottom the of bassinet. 

She had her first two big outings this past week. Saturday we went to a friends BBQ and Sunday she got to go shopping with Mommy and Daddy. She was amazing!  We were at the furniture store for quite a bit and she loved looking around at all of the people and lights. I was very nervous about having her out for so long (what first time Mom isn't the first time?!) but I'm glad I overcame my fears!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we will be having a lot of Kesar's family come down and meet Aubrey for the first time. We are SO excited! Then the following month we are making the 12 hour trip by car up north for Christmas. I am already very nervous about the drive with a four month old! She falls asleep in the car seat pretty easily but I can't imagine her being in there for 12 hours! :(

<3 Till next time!
