Emilia is 2 Months Old

     2 months ago today Emilia came into our lives. She has grown so much. I don't know what she weighs today because her appointment isn't until the 14th but she is definately gaining weight. At one month she was 8lbs. Her face is filled out and she has adorable little rolls on her thighs and neck. Most nights she goes to bed around 10pm. She will sleep a 5 hour stretch and then a 2 and a half hour stretch then come in bed with me and sleep til about 7. Her fussy period at night has gotten a little better. We haven't used the carseat in several weeks.

     She is cooing alot and will carry on a "conversation" when she is in a really good mood. She is smiling alot and is on the verge of laughing. I love her happy moods when we can talk and smile at each other. She isn't trying to roll over at all but we are suspicious that she might be teething. She started drooling a bunch at about 6 weeks and she likes to chew on her paci. I think I can see some teeth in there but it's SO early I don't really believe it.

     Cutest thing Emilia has started doing? Sucking her thumb. She joins a group of thumbsuckers from my side of the family, inculding me! She has spent alot of time the past couple of weeks trying to get her thumb into her mouth. Her thumb was so darn uncooperative. Finally in the last day or two she has figured it out. It just melts my heart!

     We are sort of settling into a routine. I can pretty easily figure out if she is crying from hunger, being tired, or tummy problems. She is getting into a eat, sleep, play routine and that is making things alot easier. She enjoys being held constantly so its a little hard to get things done around the house when she is awake but I'm not really complaining because I know she won't be this little for very much longer.

     So, happy 2 months to Emilia! She has been such a joy to have with us.
