Next week it will be time to post her 3 month pictures so to say I am behind is an understatement. Oh well. At least I am posting.
So on October 28th, Piper turned 2 months old. We went to the doctor the next day for your 2 month check up and shots. She weighed 11 pounds and 2 ounces and was 22 inches long. Both fell into the 50% category. The doctor was very pleased and said that everything looked good. She had to get her first set of shots and immunizations. Let's just say that Piper does not like shots. At. All. Bless her heart. She screamed so loud that I am almost sure that everyone within a 2 mile radius could hear her. It just broke my heart. Jonathan didn't like it either. After the shots, we had to go next door to get her blood drawn. The doctor wanted to check and make sure that her kidneys and liver were functioning good since we have had so many tummy troubles. By the time we got there, she was so worn out from screaming from the first shots, that she never even woke up for the blood draw. Thank goodness. I don't think that I could have handled much more of that.
At this point, Piper is sleeping 4-5 hour stretches at night. She is very easy to go back down after her middle of the night feeding. She is usually only waking up 1-2 times a night to eat. She is starting to discover her hands a little bit. She still can't really control them, but she knows they are there. Piper has also started sitting in the Bumbo chair. We don't let her for too long because I don't want her little neck to get too tired. She seems to like it okay. She is holding her head up really well at this point. Her favorite thing is playing on her play mat. It has little bugs dangling above her and around her. She will swat and hit them and they rattle and make noises. She will entertain herself on this mat for a good amount of time. We try to do tummy time here and there but aren't consistent as we probably should be just because she doesn't seem to like it very much.
I never get tired of rocking this sweet baby girl. My favorite part of the day is whenever she wakes up. When she stretches, she makes a funny face that I call her duck face. She pokes her lips out and cocks her head to the side. It is the cutest thing ever!
And I just have to add this. Anyone that knows me well, knows that while I was pregnant, I was so worried that I would have an ugly baby but that I would think she was the prettiest baby ever. Everyone laughed and told me that no matter what, I would think that she was pretty. I would respond by saying that I knew that and that was why I was worried! lol Well......I do think she is just the prettiest little thing, but so does everyone else. I know it doesn't matter, but no Momma wants an ugly kid. Everywhere we go, people stop and tell me how beautiful she is and it just makes my heart get warm fuzzies.
