Kimber | Two Months


Weight: 12 pounds even (76%)
Height: 23.75 inches (90%) 


Little baby bear, you're already two whole months old!! I guess time really does fly when you're having fun! Have I mentioned how much fun I am having as your mommy? I love every minute of being your mother! You are perfect and I can't picture life without you! 

Feedings
You are still quite the rock star! You continue to nurse so well! Since mommy has gone back to work, you are receiving pumped milk at the sitter's during the day and nurse with mommy at night. You don't seem to have any issues with transitioning from bottle to breast and vice versa. You still do a great job letting everyone know when it's time to eat, which is about every 3-4 hours unless it's the evening and you cluster feed about every hour from the time we get home til the time you go to bed. Since you are sleeping through the night, you don't eat through the night but wake up a very hungry monkey in the morning!  After you've ate, you are STILL the world's slowest burper!! It takes forever to work up a burp but once you do, life is good. And you do occasionally spit up on us too! 

Sleeping
Mommy and Daddy are so very happy to say that you are sleeping through the night!! And you have been since you were about 5 weeks old. We put you down for bed between 9:30 and 10:30 and you sleep until 4:30 or 5 when mommy wakes up. Sometimes you even sleep until 6:30 when mommy wakes you up to eat before she goes to work. You are still sleeping in the cradle next to our bed, all swaddled up and cozy warm. We put you down for bed after you've ate and had a fresh diaper and let you talk, coo and sigh yourself to sleep. We swaddle you up tight but you always manage to get your hands or feet, or sometimes both, completely free! And boy do you move! Mommy has been putting your feet at the bottom of the cradle so you have room to squirm without waking yourself up! Oh, and when it's time for you to make up, you make the cutest grunts and stretches every. However, these grunts are usually followed by the most unladylike toots! The sounds and smells that come from your backside my child are incredible!

 All we need sometimes is mommy cuddles. :)

 Morning snuggles :)
  

Clothes/Diapers
You're still in in 0-3 month clothes and slowly growing into them. They all fit you length wise but still seem so big around your little body. You are a long girl! As always, you are absolutely precious in whatever you are wearing! People always compliment your cute little outfits and the boots and shoes mommy has recently been putting you in! You have so many clothes in your closet I'm ready for you to wear!!

You're still rocking the size 1 diapers but we finally ran out of the diaper cake diapers! Mommy is no longer adding to your rubber band ball :) Daddy's Beer & Diaper party was a huge success and we'll be using those diapers for quite some time! Still haven't bought a single pack of diapers or wipes!!

Milestones
You are still a tummy time bada$$ (as Aunt Becki calls you)! You left your head up so high! You even showed off a little for Dr. Goodnight at your two month appointment. 
Tummy Time
You also like laying on your play mat and kicking all the attachments; you have discovered the mirror on your play mat and like looking at yourself too! Like I've said, you sleep through the night but mommy considers that a pretty huge milestone! You are smiling, giggling and cooing more and more. Real smiles too! On November 11th, for the first time you really looked me right in the eye and gave me the biggest smile! My heart melted on the spot and I fell in love with you all over again! 
 Smiles
 You still love sticking that tongue out, sucking on your hands, and looking around. 
 Look at that tongue!
Sucking your thumb!
You did so amazing at your two month appointment with your shots! You only cried for a little bit but as soon as we picked you up you calmed down and slept for four hours while mommy and daddy did some Black Friday shopping. You're just so awesome baby bear! 

Also, in your second month, we celebrated your first Halloween! You were a little football and your cousin Colt, was a K-State football player. This was his first Halloween too and you two were absolutely adorable! 
My little pumpkin!!
