It's a Wilson World!: Two Months!!!

Kayla turns 2 months old today!!!

Not too much to write about in the past few weeks... We've been trying to get ourselves on some sort of schedule. Kayla is sleeping about 12-15 hours in a 24 hour period and she is eating about 30-35 ounces in that same period. She is fully on formula now and is doing well with it (so is Mommy!) Breastfeeding was something that was really important to both Brian & I - especially for the first 6 wks - but it really depends on how the mom and baby do together when push comes to shove. For Kayla & I it just was not the best thing for us.. we are much happier now! She is sleeping a good stretch at night - about 4.5 to 6 hours... we have not figured on the specifics on what dictates how much sleep she gets though... its still a work in progress. She smiles SO much and laughes out loud - sometimes very loudly! Her giggles and laughs make us smile so much that we all end up laughing. She is gorgeous and melts our hearts with those big smiles! She is ALL GUMS! She no longer wants her paci and would rather stick her fingers or fist in her mouth... She holds her head up all by herself and can sit in her Bumbo with no assistance. She is about to bounce out of the bouncy chair so we may not be able to let her hang out in this without supervision... she kicks her legs so strongly! She is eating and sleeping very well but the Dr. tells us we need to start getting her on a good schedule ... You'd think Mommy would love that but its going to be much harder!!! She turns when you say her name and follows you across the room when you walk away from her... you may even get a squeal from her if she's not ready for you to go away from her. She loves laying in her crib watching the fishes on the mobile go round and round! We swear that she is actually trying to have a conversation with them - of course like her mommy, she is doing all the talking! She loves talking to Grandma on the telephone and smiles big when she hears her voice. Her new favorite game is "peek-a-boo" with Grandpa - I think they played for hours on Turkey Day. She is drinking a little fruit juice each day and loves it - of course its in her bottle - no sippy cups yet! She is tolerating tummy time more and more and we think she may be doing the crawling sway before Xmas!

We had our 2 month Doctor visit this week... Current Stats: 13 lbs, 24 inches long! So she has gained (since birth) 3 lbs and 3 inches... Three is this weeks big number! She is also wearing 3 month clothes... some brands she is already a 3-6 month. She has also graduated to Size 2 diapers! She had her first big round of immunizations (since those she got at the hospital when she was born) ... she was such a champ! Not like Mommy (who cries or freaks at the sign of needles - good thing I never saw that spinal needle!!!!)... She has Daddy's tolerance for pain :) Seems like she has his metabolism too (thank god!).
