This little stinker was two months old Tuesday!
It's incredible how much she has developed in a month. Sometimes I wish it would slow down because I want her to stay this tiny forever, but most of the time I'm excited to watch her grow into a beautiful little human!
McKenna clocked in at 12 pounds 1 ounce at her 2 month checkup, and is 22.75 inches long (up from 20 inches). This little lady outgrew almost all brands of newborn a couple weeks back. She also graduated to size 1 diapers probably just after 1 month! Several of her pairs of cute socks/booties do not fit her feet.
Sometimes she's tough to get down at night, but she has slept a good 10-11 hours straight the last few nights. Even when she does wake it's once for a VERY short nursing session. One of the things that gets her to sleep easily at night is the swing or nursing. She also loves this projector that shines images on the ceiling above her. She's been sleeping a lot during the day too recently, but when she is awake, she is taking in everything around her and smiling and grinning. There is the slight sound of gurgling coo's when she's in a really good mood, which is usually when she is on the changing mat.... her favorite place in the house.
She is gripping with her little hands now, and now starting to pull at stuff when it's in her grip. She's trying to get those little hands in her mouth, and has been leaving scratches on her face because Mommy is still scared to clip those nails a lot!
Her eyes are still slate, but at certain angles they look like they are turning blue. I think it looks like her eyebrows have a little reddish hue to them, and in the sunlight the hair on her head has a slight hue too! It will be exciting to see what color her eyes and hair will be as she gets older!
We've been trying to introduce a bottle, it's hit or miss. We're hoping to at least have her accept it soon so we can go on a date here or there.
Every day I feel like I love her more and more, I think that has a lot to do with feeling like she understands and accepts our love more and more.
