Emery is 2 months old

All about Emery's second month


Eats:  every 3 hours, mostly nursing, one bottle (or so) a day

Sleeps: best in the rock and play...down to only waking twice a night

Wears: 0-3 month clothes, size 1 diapers, lots of hairbows 

Likes: watching brother, being cuddled, turning your head from side to side to look all around, being "worn" in the ergo or moby wrap, Christmas lights

Dislikes: being over-tired, tummy time, sleeping flat on your back 

Milestones this month:
- 2 month check up (and shots--yuck!).  You aren't gaining weight as quickly as they would like (you were 9 lb, 4 oz on December 30th...about the 15th percentile) so we are adding a milk fortifier to your bottles
- first smiles (Ahhh....so sweet!) and coos
- first Christmas
- photos with Santa

Dear Emme, 

This month has been so fun--making special Christmas memories with our families.  You added so much sweetness to our Holidays!  We can tell already that you are going to have a special relationship with your brother.  He loves you so much (sometimes a little too much...he likes to get in your face) and we know you love him too.  You love to watch him play.  This month you've gotten more interactive, smiling and cooing at us.  You smile with your entire face, almost closing your eyes completely.  It's pretty adorable.  Your first smile for daddy was on Christmas morning, in fact. What a thoughtful gift!  :)
We are so thankful for you, sweet girl!

Love you,
Mommy and Daddy
