She is a REALLY good sleeper at night, which is needed after her fussiness all day long! :-) There's an "off night" every once in a while but for the most part, Lily takes a bottle around 10:00pm, goes down around 11:00pm, and doesn't make a sound until between 7:30-9:00am. Often times, I have to wake her up around 8:30am to quickly get a bottle in before I take the boys to school.
We still have her in our bedroom, but when she turned 2 months old, we moved her from the middle of our bed (in a basket) to the top of the changing table (in a basket or her car seat). This was progress for me since I checked on her often in the middle of the night (to make sure that she was still breathing!) Surely every new mother out there understands this fear and paranoia.
The last few weeks, at the advice of her pediatrician, we have kept her in the car seat to sleep so that she is elevated and can breathe better (with the RSV). Speaking of breathing and RSV, Lily seems to be doing much, much better. The pediatrician says that she is on her way to mend but be prepared for it to give her trouble off/on into the Spring.
Below, are just a few pictures around her 2 month birthday.
Below, she is sound asleep!
As soon as I took the hat off, she quit crying!




Oh my goodness, so much to say! I can't believe she is 92 percentile for weight because she still seems so tiny to me! (Probably because I don't have a baby anymore!) I LOVE seeing Lily's sweet smiles - so precious. And I'm sure you are tired of hearing me say this but I just can't get over her resemblance to Benjamin! I see it in every picture, every expression!! Her outfits are SOOOO cute. You are lucky that Kaitlynn is older/bigger because I would be BEGGING you for Lily's hand-me-downs!
ReplyDeleteOne more thing...I am still astonished at what an incredible sleeper Lily is. It just seems unbelievable! Girl, you are LUCKY!!! Yay, Lily, for being so good for Mommy and Daddy -- they need their sleep! Happy 2 months! (Or should I say 3 months since it's right around the corner...) ;-)
