They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

2 Months Old!

Our little Ella is already 2 months old! She is such a happy, easy baby. She is a great sleeper and a good eater, and she goes back and forth between breastfeeding and bottles with no trouble at all. Last night, we moved her upstairs to her own room. She woke up once around 3:30, but I was able to get her back to sleep with the paci and some snuggling, and she slept until 7:15! Here are some of the things we want to remember about this age:

-Eats 7 times a day, usually about 3 oz of formula or 25 minutes breastfeeding
-Stays awake about 1 - 1 1/2 hours at a time
-Naps for 1-2 hours in between each feeding
-Dropped her middle of the night feeding at only 6 weeks old!
-Likes her Baby Einstein Activity Mat and watching football with Daddy
-Loves to smile at Mama, Daddy and Lia
-Starting to "talk" a little, likes to talk back and forth with Mama
-Already had to move her to 3 month clothes because she is too long for her newborn stuff
-Uses a paci at nap times but doesn't seem to like it much any other time

We love you so much sweet girl!! We are so blessed to have another beautiful baby girl, and we can't imagine life without you!
