2 Month Violet

One week ago today, Violet turned TWO MONTHS old.

Holy crap where did the time go? I swear I was just going in for my c-section last week!

It's the biggest parenting cliche ever but it's so true - time really flies!

She just looked like this at 1 month (and 1 week)! :(

Ronnie's mom gave Violet that bunny for Easter and I figured it was the perfect prop for her monthly pics.
Growing up I had a bunny doll that was my favorite thing ever so I like the idea :)

Now here she is, looking like a "big" girl at 2 months!

(she was not cooperating for her photo shoot.)

Length/Weight:

At her last pediatrician appointment on 4/25 (3 days before turning 2 months) she was 10 lbs. 6oz., 20 inches.

She's a shorty like her momma!

Clothes:

She's fitting perfectly in her 0-3 month stuff and fits well in some 3 month clothes. She actually can fit into a couple of her newborn dresses still, thanks to being a shorty!

Diapers:

Size 1

Eating:

She's a wishy washy eater. Sometimes she'll be starving, other times not so much. She eats between 3 and 4 oz. of formula and if she eats 3 oz., she'll eat again in 3 hours. If she takes 4 oz., she'll eat again in 4 hours.

Naps:

During the day she only sleeps about 15-20 minutes at a time and that's with complete silence and being rocked consistently in her rock and play. She fights sleep like crazy!

Night time:

She usually crashes out between 10 and 11 pm. Then she sleeps 4-5 hours until her next bottle. After that, she'll sleep another hour, maybe two. But even that's a struggle so our days are starting pretty early lately.

Likes:

-Laying on her changing table kicking and cooing.

-Her bouncy seat - she's really taken to all the toys hanging on it.

-She loves the sound of rattles

-Sleeping on momma. It's where she takes her longest naps.

-Daddy singing and dancing with her.
-Car rides and being in the stroller! THIS is where she takes her best naps

-Having her feet rubbed - what girl doesn't like that?
 

Dislikes:

-Being held too long when she's fussy; she'd rather be laid down.

-Baths. She is just not a fan and cries most of the time! Hopefully that changes soon.

-Daddy making faces at her too long - she'll make pouty lips. Maybe she gets scared? ha
-Daddy kissing her too hard because of his facial hair.

Milestones:

-She's discovered her arms and legs and is constantly moving them around.

-She's also discovered her tongue which she swirls around a lot.
-She "talks" soooo much to us when we talk to her, I love it!

-She turns to look at whoever is talking to her.

-aaand she already can recite her ABC's... Genius I tell you.

 (Ok doesn't every mom like to think their kid's a genius? ;)
