Hicks House: Two Months

Two Months

I know I will probably say this every month, but how does time fly so quickly with these little ones? I can't believe Mommy's little angel is already TWO months. At times I am saddened by how fast she is growing, but then I see her do something new or smile and I just think about all the fun times we are going embark on as she grows. At two months she seems like a completely different baby. She's so much more active and you can see a glimpse of her personality trying to peek through.

WE JUST LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRL SO MUCH!

The love you have for your child is so overwhelming, and at times I just can't help but to kiss kiss kiss. I better get all the kisses I can get before she gets too big and doesn't like Mommy's kisses anymore. The bond and love you have for your child is like no other love and so indescribable. It completely makes you think about how much love your Mom has for you and you truly appreciate it.

Baby girl I love you more than words can even describe!!

We had Arrington's two month check up on April 7th. She weighed 9 lbs. 9 oz. (25th percentile) and was 21.5 inches long (25th percentile) I think she is actually longer than this. Arrington had all her shots, but her Hepatitis, Mommy couldn't handle another one, which she will get in May when we go back for her monthly phenylalanine level test. Those shots plus her heel prick was just too much, so I spread the shots out a bit. Her phenylalanine test came back at 186! Which is down from a month ago, which was at 252! Thank you God! Just please pray for it to continue to stay low.

eats 6-7 times a day. Not sure how many oz since I breast feed most of the time, but thinking 3-4.5
trying to transition from the soothie paci to other pacifiers. Prefers the Avent or Gerber Nuks
LOVES bath time... she will be upset and I can put her in the bath and she smiles from ear to ear
loves kicking in the bath and talking with Mommy
takes a long morning nap (wakes at around 6-7:30 to eat and goes back down till around noon
has not established a good afternoon nap, it's an everyday battle :)
starting to nap in her crib
sleeps with a white noise sound machine
sleeps on her tummy and scoots all around the bed. You can not place this child on an adult bed, because she will scoot all the way to the side
has the most beautiful big blue eyes, gorgeous lips, amazing smile, and head full of beautiful strawberry blonde hair.... We are a little biased though :)
loves to lay on her changing table and stare at the bottom of her book shelf... she lays there and coos forever
likes her play mat. We have one that has music and lights that she loves
she is starting to like her swing. I will open the back door and place the swing so she can look outside
still wears newborn clothes, but can fit in a few 0-3 months
Loves, loves, loves her Moby. This is how I run errands or eat lunch or dinner out.
Hates her carrier, but can tolerate it if watching Baby Einstein in the car. We got a portable DVD player that hangs from the back seat headrest from Lovie and B-Paw that is our saving grace from screaming fits in the car
Loves to lay and chit chat with Mommy and Daddy
is the most snugly and lovable baby. She loves to be held as close as possible and if laying down with me will bury her face in my chest
