2 months old

Shelby is already two months old! I can't believe it! She is becoming such a big girl and today she got her two month shots. It really wasn't that bad to watch. I mean, I hated to hear her cry, but you gotta do what you gotta do! They were really quick about it and Shelby calmed down pretty fast. Other than the shots, her appointment went really well and Shelby is doing great!


At two months old, Shelby:
- weighs 10 lbs. 6 oz. and is 22 1/2 inches long (she gained 2 lbs. in 1 month!!)
- wears size one diapers, new born clothes, and some 0-3 month clothes
- loves bath time
- loves snuggling with anyone who will hold her
- enjoys the swing
- nurses every 2 1/2- 3 hours
- is sleeping longer stretches at night (4-6 hours)
- smiles more, especially when on her play mat
- will focus on your face and even smile
- is making all kinds of noises when she "talks" to us! I'm sure she will laugh soon! She has laughed a few times in her sleep. That has got to be the cutest thing ever! She must be dreaming of her piano play mat.
- sleeps swaddled
- sleeps in her crib in her room
- went on her first road trip and overnight trip to her Grandma and Grandpa's house. She slept most of the drive and slept pretty much the same at night as she does at home. However, she did get pretty fussy after being passed around to all the grandparents and great grandparents. She got a little too stimulated, but was fine once we got in the car and was able to sit quietly. She slept just the same that night at our house. So I'd say the first trip away from home was a success!
