Two Months Old

This happy girl is 2 months old!!  Mairin is such a good baby.  Eating and sleeping well, smiling, talking, and loving her big brother and sister.  She has such a great personality and is easy to take around town as we jump from errands, sporting events, and outings with friends.  She loves to do it all and is good to sleep in her car seat or being passed around to everyone who wants to snuggle with her.  

Mairin is still taking her reflux meds which helps with her feedings.  She eats 5-6 ounces of milk about every 3-4 hours.  She is awake for a short time after each feeding and then takes a nap.  She seems to take longer naps in the morning and afternoon and then cat naps throughout the evening.  She really doesn't have a set schedule like the other kids did but I guess that happens when she has to go where we go and be flexible.  The good news is, she has slept through the night since she was about 4 weeks old and never looked back.  She still sleeps in her bassinet in our room and we have to hand her a pacifier every now and then but she isn't eating bottles in the middle of the night which is amazing.

When Mairin is awake she likes to talk to all of us, practice her smiles, and lay on her activity mat as she kicks and looks at all of the animals hanging above her.  She loves to be held so she is sitting upright or standing up so she can hold her head up and look around.  She likes to go on stroller rides and enjoys sitting outside on a nice night or to watch one of Nolan's baseball games.

She's such a good girl and it is so fun to watch her grow.

Our big girl weighed 12 pounds, 1 ounce (63rd percentile) and was 23.5 inches long (85th percentile) She smiled and talked to the doctor (who said she was verbally advanced) and got two shots and an oral vaccine.  

She's even cute when she's sad.
