Two Months!

How has it been two months already?!?!? She's transitioning more and more into an active little baby instead of a sleepy newborn. We had a really good week at 6 weeks where life felt like it was getting somewhere normal, then at 7 weeks she started having severe problems with congestion and reflux. We started to hold her 24/7 to keep her from gagging on the reflux. Needless to say it was a very rough couple of weeks and is just barely starting to settle down again. Through it all, even though she obviously felt miserable, Lauren kept smiling at us! Once she started feeling better she started having more awake time and wanting to play and smiling more and more. At her two month appointment, on her two month birthday, she rolled over! I think she'd been trying to do it sooner, but was so quietly determined about it, I didn't recognize that was what she was doing.  She did it twice that day and hasn't done it since, although she's been working on it! At her two month checkup she was 7lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long, which is barely the size of most newborns, so it's weird to think I could still be pregnant with her at this size! She can barely fit into newborn clothes anymore and is wearing mostly 0-3 and occasionally something 3 months. It's been exciting to see her grow out of clothes! She holds her head up insanely well and enjoys tummy time a lot more. She likes her bouncy seat and playing on the floor and it's so exciting to see her being more active. We still go to the breast feeding support group twice a week, mostly to get out of the house and be around other moms, and to make sure she's gaining weight well. Even though she's been miserable and high maintenance, we love her more and more every day! Chris loves coming home from and snuggling with her so mommy can have a break and run errands or take a shower. Uncle Ian has been spending a lot of time here helping out, it's been great to watch him get more and more comfortable taking care of her, although he still won't do diapers. We're really excited to have Uncle Thomas come home from marine training and get to meet her!
