Miss D, 2 Month

Miss D had her shots early on the morning of her 2 month birthday, and since CB came down with a cold the day before and Miss D felt yucky and slept for most of the day, we didn't worry about pictures until today. 

A few things about Miss D at 2 months:

  • As of her 2 month appointment, she was 11 pounds 8.5 oz and 24 inches long, so she's 70th percentile for weight and a whopping 96th for height. Looks like the tradition of having long Long girls continues. 
  • Last night she slept from 11 until 6, and then went back to sleep for a couple more hours. She might be less consistent than CB was at this age for sleeping, but she always goes back to sleep right after she nurses and usually sleeps at least 5-7 hours at a time at night. 
  • Is still quite sleepy during the day - more sleepy than I remember CB being. On the one hand this is really nice, because it's given CB more time to adjust. On the other hand, I feel like I still don't know her very well because she sleeps a LOT. She has been starting to smile at us for the last month, but I have to work harder for her smiles than I did for CB.
  • She was blessed on Nov. 2, and she was beautiful and slept most of the way through the blessing itself, which meant she was nice and quiet for it. :) All of her cousins came and we didn't see CB through all of sacrament meeting because she was playing with them, so we just got to snuggle Miss D and enjoy the day. 
  • She loves driving in the car (or at least falls asleep or calmly looks around whenever we drive) and going for walks in our sit and stand stroller. 
  • She has specific bounces that she likes from both me and Eric, and there are times that they are almost magical. 
  • She likes a pacifier more than I remember CB liking on at this age, so maybe I'll get a pacifier baby this time.
  • She loves attention from her sister as long as it doesn't involve being crushed or clawed by her (which sometimes happens even though the intentions are always loving. 

We love you Miss D. Keep being the snuggly, calm, sweet baby you are.
