2 Months!

Sophia is already 2 months plus old! It's insane. She is the sweetest little baby ever. I tell you, we were seriously blessed with two amazing babies. Sophie has a great temperament. She NEVER cries. She usually chirps if she needs something and very rarely does she get so upset that it is worth the tears. We had her two month check up last week and she is doing AWESOME.

Here is a little bit about our little girl this month.

She weighs 11lbs 3 oz and is 22 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for height and weight. WOOT!
She wears size 1 diapers and 3 month clothes. It was so bitter sweet packing up the NB clothes.
She eats about 5 times during the day and sometimes cluster feeds during the evening.
She eats 4.5-5oz from a bottle. This is crazy to me. Emmy didn't start drinking more than 4 oz till she was older and when she had dropped a feeding. I am so proud of my growing girl.
She is getting much better at drinking bottles. She'd obviously rather nurse, so sometimes its hard to get her to take a bottle from me, but she is getting there. We had been giving her one bottle a day, before bed, but now that she is starting school, I will probably go back to nursing at this feed.
She sleeps 11 hours straight at night. Yes, you read that right! She sleeps amazing! She started sleeping through the night around 5 weeks. She will very rarely wake up to nurse. Amazing! Emmy did the same thing, but started waking again when I went back to work because I think she hit a growth spurt.She usually naps for about an hour or so after each feeding.
She is meeting all the milestones for her age. She smiles, coos, and is starting to chuckle. I love her sweet little smile.
She loves baths. She could sit in there all day long if I let her.
Her tear ducts are still clogged, which sucks. If there are still clogged at a year, she may have to have surgery, so say a prayer they unclog here pretty quickly!
She is hit or miss with the paci. I think now that she is awake more, she may take to it, but if she never does, o' well. I like it because I think it helps with the self soothing, but we will see!
She started her transition to school this week and it is going really well so far. She truly is an easy baby!!

Here are a few more pictures from our monthly photo shoot and a couple that I took through out the month on my phone. The ones from my phone are terrible and she pretty much looks the same in all of them. Haha!

First day of school

Easter...A few weeks late

I feel like all my post titles these days are followed by the phrase "a few weeks late." I haven't posted in a month and not because I am super busy with a newborn, but because I want to spend my time snuggling with her these days, than pulling out the laptop for an update. We had a very nice Easter. We spent it with family and it was super relaxing. By the end of the weekend, Emily was an egg hunting pro. Here are a million pictures for you to ooh and ahh at.
