Seriously? My baby girl is two months old? Where has the time gone? I can not believe two months ago today I was just meeting my sweet baby. The time has gone by incredibly fast. I want to post about some things she can do at this age, some behaviors she has, and a few pictures. She had her two month appointment today. She is also a very sick baby right now. She has a terrible cough, hoarse cry and has been miserable all day. I'm afraid getting her shots didn't help the matter. When you look at her you can see how miserable she is. Being a mom can be so hard when you can't do anything for your sweet, sick kids. I've already cried several times today, but being a mom is totally worth all the things like this that come with it! I wish I knew how to help her. :( She is a really good baby during the day, but come night time she is a different kid! Her doctor thinks she has colic since she does this at the same time EVERY night. Once 10:00 pm strikes, here we go! She will usually stop by 1:00 am if we are lucky. It's gone on until after 3:00 at times. I have tried gas drops, gripe water, singing to her, swaddling her, not swaddling her, running water, car rides, a baby rice bag, breast milk, formula, setting her down, she's eaten, burped, has a clean bum, held her every way possible. Need I go on? :) If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears! Her doctor said if she is still doing this at six months we will look into other things it could be. Hopefully it won't last that long. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but it's extremely hard to not know what to do for your baby. She screams so hard she is full on sweating, bright red and thrashing her body around. Anyway, she really is a sweet baby though and I wouldn't trade more sleep for her. She is totally worth it. Here are her stats from today.
-She has grown from 19 3/4 inches to 21 inches
-Her take home weight was 5 lbs 12 oz (6 lbs 3 oz @ birth) and she is now 9 lbs 14 oz
From this....
To this
Big girl!
Here are some things our baby girl is doing at this age.
-Can hold her head up with no help and look around the room. She's held her head on her own since three weeks.
-Will stand up when we burp her on the knee so we have to do it over the shoulder. She's so strong!
-Smiles, coos, and giggles
-Loves to be sang to
-Still hates the bath
-Loves to be held
-Has been nicknamed "Channers" by her big brother
Big girl!
I don't believe you. She's such an angel EVERY time I see her. ;) I'm so glad you posted my favorite pic of her! I love having it on my phone and seeing it every time I use it. Channers is a cute nickname and I love it even more that Koy came up with it. Too cute. I'm glad she's growing good but sorry she's sick. =(
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry baby Channing's been sick - and even more sorry about the colic! I miss you guys! I think we are all healthy now so I need to come see you! It's been way too long since I've seen Koy and Channers. Love ya!
