Happy 2 Month Birthday Evie!!!

(I am following some of the other blogs I have read about letters to baby, and really like them, so I am going to try it out)...

Yesterday was your two month birthday! How has it already been 2 months? Your second month of life was so different than your first.

This month you discovered your tongue. Yesterday you discovered your hands and kept shoving them in your mouth. You did not want to have a pacifier but wanted to play with your fists in your mouth. All day we were struggling to get your hands out of your mouth, but that is what you wanted. Hopefully you don't end up like Mommy and bite your fingernails! We tried to get some good two month pictures of you yesterday, but you made it really hard since all you wanted was hand in mouth. That is ok, we did end up getting some good ones!

This month you also started day care and Mom started back at work. So not as much fun as being home with you all day. Has really made me appreciate and love weekends and all I do is snuggle with you!

You are becoming such a good sleeper. At night you go from 4-7 hours non stop! And you are good (usually) at nursing in the middle of the night/early morning and going back to sleep. Love that. Naps are getting more and more spread out. And you are having more awake and happy time! Which includes more play time. You are starting to look at objects and love listening to your Mom and Dad. You will just sit there and smile while we talk to you, sing to you, play with your toys with you. So adorable!

Your head holding is getting great! You are not always in the mood for tummy time, but when you are oh wow your head gets high up there. We alternate between the baby gym and the boppy on the couch so I can look at you. I think you like the boppy/couch combination the best. Cannot believe how strong your head is. It barely bobbles. You just love to look around!

We are also nursing so well! Cannot believe how far we have come in 2 months! Been a journey trying to figure this nursing thing out but I think we are both oh so happy that it is working and I didn't give up! We really have come a long way, from almost latching and syringe feeding you, to using a nipple shield, to full on nursing! We are getting better at doing it in public, trying mostly in the working mom's group. You are such a quick eater too. And when you are done you have this blissful smile and this drunken look on your face!

Yesterday, on your two month birthday you took your first day time nap in your crib! Was so proud of you. Was a huge accomplishment! Was over an hour and you probably would have gone longer but you got hungry!

Happy 2 Month Birthday My Little Love! Mommy so loves you and misses you every second while at work! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXO

You taking a very short nap yesterday (you were up for 6 hours and did not want to nap):


Your cute toes while napping, could not resist this picture:


Playing with your hand, I know it must be tasty!:


You hanging out in the boppy, You sometimes like sitting in this so you can look around:


Happy Evelyn!:


**In 2 days (Thursday) you have your 2 month pediatrician appointment. I am not looking forward to your shots. I know you don't want to get them done, and I don't want to see you in pain. But this is for the best, so you don't get sick. It will be a few seconds of pain followed by mommy cuddles and milk. I will try to stay home with you all day and cuddle and make sure you feel better. I love you sweetie
