2 Months

Well Maeve turned 2 months old today. Let's review shall we:

-I don't know how much she weighs, I'm guessing between 10 and 11 pounds, since she was 9 lb 2 oz, on 12/12. We'll find out this Friday.
-she has displayed an absolutely refusal to sleep in the co-sleeper or bassinet. We're working on this. Otherwise, she is a great sleeper at night, only waking up twice, and sometimes sleeping 6 hours at a stretch.
-she tolerates tummy time well. Tolerates it, doesn't like it, but doesn't hate it.
-within the last two weeks or so, she has decided that the swing really isn't so bad and will happily sit in her swing looking around and will even sleep in it.
-she's very smiley and happy in the mornings and is otherwise pretty sedate and happy. However, if you aren't here in person, you probably aren't going to see it too often. If you've seen her via webcam, it was probably too close to bedtime for her to be happy. But we swear, she does a lot of smiling and a lot of cooing.
-she loves to have her diaper changed and otherwise be naked. As soon as we lay her down to change her diaper, she gives us a big smile and becomes perfectly content.
-she had her first date on New Year's Eve with Mason, our friend's baby who is 4 days younger than Maeve. She might have spit up all over her pretty dress, but I still think he was impressed. Even her parents managed to stay up past midnight, but just barely.

I will be going back to work next month and that means that Maeve will be going to daycare. We managed to find a wonderful daycare near my office run by the Bruderhof, which will also allow me to nurse her during my lunch hour.

We had a great visit from Nana Morris in December for the holidays. It was great having her here to give extra help.
