Kendall Paige, you are two months old! It has been the best 2 months. It is so much fun to see your personality
start to shine through. It is a little sad to see you growing right before our eyes. You have come out of the newborn fog.
You love to look out the window!
You had your 2
month appointment last Thursday. At your
visit you weighed 11 lbs and 5.5
oz. That’s in the 85th percentile. Your
head circumference was 15 3/8 in. that
is in the 60th percentile. Does someone already have the big head? You are 22 1/8 inches long. That is in the 70th percentile. Your appointment also included some yuck
shots! You handled them like a trooper but
it still broke your momma’s heart! Don’t
worry; you got them back by peeing all over their table!
You are still eating every two to three
hours. You have gone from being completely
bottle fed to mostly nursing. Your eating preferences change from day to
day. One day you love nursing and the
next you are not a fan! Momma can’t
figure you out, but we keep trudging on with it!
You’ve had a major accomplishment this
month. You have started sleeping through
the night! Party at the Jones’. You will sleep from 9 or 10 o’ clock at night
until 7 or even later in the morning if Momma lets you. At night, you are a pro at going to bed. You are still in a bassinet next to mom and
dad’s bed. You still like to be in a
swaddling blanket. We lay you in the
bassinet while you are still pretty awake.
You are quiet as a mouse for 15 to 20 minutes as you travel off to dream
land. During the day, you are not a big
fan of naps. Momma has to work with you
a little more to get you to rest.
You are totally on a schedule. It’s called the “Kendall does what she wants, when she wants” schedule. Typically you will take a small nap in the morning. Then a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. Momma tries to lay you down so that you will be getting up when dad gets home. Maybe soon we can get on a little better schedule.
You are still wearing size one diapers. You’re in a wide range of sizes in your clothes. It totally depends on how it is made. A dress you wore the other day was a 6 to 9 month. However, you are mostly wearing 3 to 6 month clothes
You are still a
really good baby. In the afternoons you
are getting a little fussier. Your pediatrician
told us that is pretty common. You will
probably go back to the old Kendall after you are 3 months.
You are still a
huge fan of baths in the kitchen sink.
You typically have one leg propped up and out the side, silly girl.
You are not a fan of tummy time. You will pick your
head and chest off the mat but it really ticks you off! You are usually
screaming after 5 to 10 minutes!
We are still
reading books together, and you are still not caring….Momma can keep
wishing. Your fish faces are getting a
little less common. Momma and Daddy will miss those if you quit all
together.
You are starting
to smile. At first when you’d give a
grin, we couldn’t tell if it was on purpose or not. Now they are getting more obvious. Momma had to leave you with dad for a few
hours the other day. When she gave you a
goodbye kiss, you gave her the biggest smile yet. Momma thought it was so sweet until dad
decided it was because you were getting left with him.
We had your baby dedication this month which was
really important to Momma and Daddy. We
can’t wait to see how God uses you.
At only 2 months
old, you are already the biggest blessing.
We love you!
Now for a little comparison:
