Grace is such a joy! She is smiling at us now, and cooing and making some baby babble sounds. She loves to watch her big sister. She can see across the room and follows mom with her eyes. She loves to be held, but unlike Lauren never did take to being swaddled, so she sleeps with arms stretched out above her head. And when it comes to sleeping...
Grace hasn't had the same experience that Lauren did at her age, where, as new parents, we were reading tons of baby books and trying very hard to get everything right when it comes to how often you feed the baby and keep the baby awake and get the baby down to sleep. Grace is our 'roll with the punches' baby. She has been eating and sleeping on the go since her first week. She made the transition from sleeping in just a diaper in sunny Florida to sleeping in a footy pj's and down comforters in chilly Chicago. She (and Lauren too) sleep through every kind of construction noise you can imagine. And Grace is enjoying being babied...she hasn't yet made the move into her own room for sleeping...she thinks mom and dad's room is pretty cozy, and mom likes not having to travel down the hallway to feed her.
As far as eating, Grace is a nursing champ. As far as taking a bottle...which box has the bottles packed in it? And which box has the breast pump packed in it? We'll be getting to that soon.
We went to Grace's two month check up and here are her stats:
Weight: 14lb 4 oz
Length: 24.5in
Both are in the 95th+ percentile. In other words, get Grace in a room with 100 babies her age, and she'd be bigger than all of them. We see it happen in the church nursery every Sunday (just kidding, they haven't quite made it to 100 kids in the nursery...yet).
