2 Months (Tomorrow)

Tomorrow Juliet will be 2 months old.  Even though the time has flown by and I can't believe she is two months, I also still feel like she is older than her actually age.  She has so much personality, opinion, and spunk.  This past week (FINALLY!!!!) she has been sleeping better.  She has been sleeping a four hour stretch eating and then sleeping another four hours at night.  She still eats every three hours during the day, but she is now also napping much, much better (like an hour between each feeding) during the day!  I have not eaten dairy the past two weeks because Juliet was just being SO cranky.  Her tummy seemed to be hurting her, which meant she did not sleep well, which meant she was a very fussy baby.  My dad saw a baby on TV and made the comment, "why is that baby not crying?"...Yes! She was being that fussy.  But, alas, with the no-dairy diet and the good sleep habits, we have one smiling, happy baby!

2 month milestones:
-smiles "on command" as long as she is fed
-uses cloth diapers
-nurses about an hour, is awake about 30 minutes, naps about an hour to an hour and a half, and then repeats the process all day long
-seems to really like being outside
-will turn her head to follow your voice
-wears size 3 months clothes
-loud music and lots of movement calm her when she is crying
-cannot be bounced enough

Words I would use to describe her: expressive, sweet, alert, inquisitive
