What?? 2 Months Already???

Miss Laney is now two months old.  I can't believe how much she has grown and changed.  I can't say how much I love her smiling.  IT.MELTS.MY.HEART!! She does it regularly now.  She thinks it is funny when you play peek-a-boo with her and she thinks it's hilarious when you kiss her lips.  She will hold her mouth open like a little bird if you even get close to her. She seems to have found her tongue.  She smiles if you stick your tongue out at her.  She seems to try to do it back.  I'm not sure if she is doing this on purpose or not.  Matt says no...... I say she is!! We can tell she is ticklish but she just squirms to get you to stop. Laney likes to have her elephant close by when she is going to sleep and she wants her paci.  She is starting to grab at the toys hanging on her play mat.  She just stares at the mirror with a confused look.  She is still sleeping in the rock-n-play. I am trying to transition her to the crib.  I have started by putting her in the pack-n-play for naps.  I am trying to get her on a schedule for the day.  She does well at nighttime.  She gets bathed and a bottle.  I try to read her a bible story every night.  Sometimes she is just ready to go to sleep.  She goes to sleep around 10:30 and sleeps until about 6-6:30.  I think that is great.  I hope she will continue.  The dreaded day came S-H-O-T-S.  I was not looking forward to them.  She screamed.  The nurse commented that she thought she got the maddest award.  I cried!!  I felt so sorry for her.  She had no idea.  She trusts me and her daddy and we let that happen to her.  I get teary eyed just thinking about it.  She was fine that afternoon, but she has been running a fever and has not been herself.  She hasn't eaten and she has been fussy.  I'll be glad when it passes.  Here is what we found out...
Weight........11lbs14oz- that puts her in the 60th percentile
height.........22 1/4in- that put her in the 36th percentile (she is going to be short but it was up from the 32nd percentile last visit:)

Her head was in the 60th percentile as well.  So she is growing and  healthy.


 


 This picture cracks me up..... she looks like she is ready to punch the nurse~Poor
baby.  She had no idea what was about to happen.

 Well that's Laney's status.  Until next time~ Three months will be here before we know it!!:(  I pray that I will make the best use of my time with Laney.  It goes by so quickly. 

"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” – Ephesians 5:15-17, ESV
