Two months old... ALREADY!

Everyone keeps telling us that time flies by with kiddos and I know they really mean between infancy and teenage years, BUT time with our little peanut is already flying by! I cannot believe that she is already two months old (and we have made it two months as parents - WOW!)

Addison truly is an angel baby. She sleeps - a TON - and is really happy, especially in the mornings. She has been sleeping through the night (defined as 5-6 consecutive hours by all the baby books/websites) since she was about two weeks old. When we told her pediatrician, she said there is no need to wake her up for meals since she is gaining weight and overall very healthy. So the saying "never wake a sleeping baby" has been a motto in this house. We now get at least 7 hours of sleep at night - there was even a night when she slept 10.5 hours! Not bragging - just thrilled!!!

We still don't have a "routine" per se and that's fine with me. I am sure once I go back to work we will have more of a set schedule, but for now Addison just rolls with the punches!

Two month stats (11/26/12):
  • Height: 23 inches (72nd percentile)
  • Weight: 11 pounds, 14 ounces (62nd percentile) -- Bob guessed this DEAD ON!
  • Head circumference: 39.8 cm (88th percentile)
Addison at two months likes/dislikes...

LIKES:
- The Ergo, Moby or any other form of being cuddled up on our chests (especially for naps!)
- Walks in her stroller, carrier, etc., but not shopping in her stroller, just walks
- Silly faces, sounds and anything that makes mommy/daddy look ridiculous in public
- Bath time
- Her activity mat (even with tummy time!)
- Singing (even mine!) - favorite songs are Twinkle Twinkle and Rudolph :)
- Her tummy time mini-boppy pillow (great purchase!)
- Aunts, uncles, grandparents, and especially her cousins (she LOVED all of the action in Portland)
- Bright lights (especially the ones on the Christmas tree and the TV, but we try to avert her eyes ;))
- Sleeping in her crib

DISLIKES:
- Having her picture taken... well, she likes it OK, she just NEVER smiles for pictures!
- The grocery store... takes after her daddy in this department
- Her carseat (most of the time...)
*Dislikes are honestly tough to think of - she is such a happy baby!

Thanks for making our job easy, Addison! We love you.


Couldn't pick just one! Love this little smirk ;)

Stretched out!

Warm and cozy after a tubby...

LOVING the mirror these days!

Such a big girl holding my bottle ;)

Time to play...

And some tummy time...

Too much playing...


I couldn't resist ;) She will hate me for this someday...

Already expressing how much she hates the grocery store (taking after her dad!)
