Month Two
What a way to mark the day she is two months old – dumping her at day care for the first time ever. (I didn’t call.) She survived, even had a good day while there. She even slept in the pak-n-play they have for her. Twerp. Sounds like maybe I’ll need to invest in one of those if it’s not a fluke.
She still isn’t sleeping very well at night, but it’s been much better lately. She used to wake up at 9:30 or 10 and then be up until 2 or 3 in the morning. She’s getting a little better of a routine down now but I am sure that will revert back to nights spent in hell as soon as we try to move her to her own room. Lately she’s been waking up an hour before the alarm goes off and that’s not much fun either. But I would certainly take that over being up all night.
She has grown so much in the last month. After posting the 8 week picture, my sister said, “That’s not even the same baby I just saw.” She was only here a few weeks ago and it’s true, she already looks completely different. I knew they grew fast and that time flies, but come on! She’s barely two months old and I already want her to stop growing. I’m in for it, aren’t I??
She has discovered playing with spit bubbles. That’s her new thing lately. And she is the biggest wiggle worm - arms and legs always flailing about. She’ll hold on to a rattle but really only beats herself in the head with it.
Random things I’ve learned during the second month:
-Never go anywhere without too many diapers.
-Don’t ever think a baby can’t melt your heart at least once a day.
-And make you want to pull all your hair out thirty seconds later.
-Just because you’ve heard how beautiful she is from every last stranger on the planet doesn’t mean you’ll
ever get sick of hearing it.
-Even though sometimes on bad days you just want to scream, “Hey, I haven’t heard THAT before!”
-Shopping for me is BORING. (Which is wrong on so many levels)
-Shopping for baby stuff? Now that’s fun!
-Things really do get better.
And, of course, I am completely biased, but seriously – have you ever seen a cuter baby?
(Shut up. You have NOT.)
