Month 2

Month 2 has been soooooooooooo much easier than the 1st month. I finally believe everyone when they say it gets easier! Bailey is no longer a little newborn, who stares blankly at us, and sleeps all day! Now, she is smiling non-stop, cooing, and moving her arms and legs all the time! She definitely knows her mommy and daddy, but loves new faces! We never dreamed we would have a red-head, but its looking that way!

The stats:
Weight: 12lbs, 12 ounces. (82 percentile)
Length: 23inches long. (86 percentile)

Sleep: 6-7 hours straight at night. One night she slept 8 hours!!!! She also is in her crib like a big girl!
Eats: 4-5 ounces; about 6-7 feedings a day

Loves:  Bath time, Dr. Seuss books, car rides (falls asleep every time!), lounging in the boppy watching TV, Holmes, the swing, lights, ceiling fans, and her nap nanny!

Hates: being hungry, being swaddled, a paci, wardrobe changes, nose drops, the hiccups, and being put on your shoulder.

Bailey can hold her head  up really good and she can hold her chest up when we do tummy time! Doc said she looks great.....Yes, she hated her shots, but she was a trooper! Screamed her little head off for a few minutes and then fell fast asleep!

Here is a look into our busy little day!

7:00 am Wakey, Wakey! We eat, play for a bit and asleep by 8am
8-10  Bailey sleeps, Mom exercises, eats and showers!
10:00 Bailey's Brunch...bottle, more playtime and nap
11:00- 1:00 Nap. Sometimes we run errands. Most of the time I catch up on laundry and clean!
1:00 Lunch for Bailey,  playtime, and back to sleep.
2:00- 4:00 Nap time for Bailey and mommy!
4:00 Snack time . Play, cook dinner and a short nap
5:30 Daddy comes home and takes over!
5:30 - 9:00 Gets crazy! No certain schedule and she starts grazing and random cat naps. We usually get a bath in there sometime and a last bottle before bed.
9:00- 3:00 am Sleep
3:00-3:30 Dream feed...About 2 oz and rocked back to sleep. (We are hoping to eliminate this feeding soon!!!)
7:00am  Our day starts over!

I didn't mean to be a "Babywise Mom", but we did get on that schedule naturally!



Some days, however, it seems nothing works and our little routine is thrown out the window! But those days are rare and Bailey is pretty much an easy, happy baby! Only time she is mad is when she realizes she was hungry 5 minutes ago and momma doesn't have the bottle ready!

                      We litterally tried everything! We both ended up asleep on the floor!

My new Friday night fun!

                                                      She loves her daddy!


As for Holmes.....
He loves her! We did put him on a diet! He isn't excited about his diet cat food. He also enjoys lounging in the boppy.
