2 Whole Months!


If you thought I was behind with Calvin's monthly updates, just wait.  This time around is going to be ugly.  At least I am posting before she turns 3 months old!

Our little "Goose" is a ball of smiles.  She really started to wake up this month and she often wears a smile between those beautiful chubby cheeks.  Mommy, Daddy, and Calvin can't kiss her enough.  Calvin is still in love with his "Sissy" and often asks to hold her.  He is always concerned when she cries, running to tell us that she needs her paci.  If he happens to wake before she does in the mornings, he asks about her every 30 seconds and watches her on the baby monitor until she wakes up.

  • Stats: 11 lbs 13 oz (60th percentile) and 24" long (96th percentile).  Her 2 month check-up went great.  Dad had his hands full as Mom and Lucy both shed lots of tears when she got her shots.  
  • Sleep: This girl loves to nap!  Her naps during the day can last up to 4 hours each.  She is waking 1-2 times at night, but falls right back to sleep after eating.  We always thought there was no way that we could have another baby that sleeps as well as Calvin, but it looks like we have been blessed with another great sleeper.  Lucy has finally taken to the pacifier and loves to be swaddled when she sleeps.
  • Eat:  Lucy continues to nurse well and we try to sneak in at least one bottle a day.  She is not a big fan of the bottle, but since I plan to return to work in a few weeks, we try to get her used to it. 
Here are several pictures taken during her second month:








She is obviously not a fan of this "headpiece"!

I can't leave out a little update and a few pictures of Calvin!  This past month he rode his first carnival rides, saw his first live tiger and lion, and has made the most of these last few days of summer!  He is growing taller by the day and saying new words and sentences all the time.  He loves to dance, play any kind of sport that involves a ball, and his Daddy is his very best friend.
