Ella,
Happy two month birthday, sweet girl! You have changed so
much in this past month! You started drinking 4 ounces at a time instead of
2-3. Sometimes you’re not as hungry but I am amazed that you’ve doubled what
you eat each time in just a month! At your two-month check-up, you weighed 11
pounds, 10 ounces and measured 23 ¾ inches.
You took your first road trip this month! We went to Ohio
{where Mommy is from} to see Mommy’s friend, Rose, get married! And boy, were
you a ROCKSTAR in the car! We thought the trip would take much longer because
we’d need to stop and feed, change, and we assumed, console you. Well, we were
wrong! You ate your bottles on the go and we only stopped to get gas and get
ourselves some food. We changed your diaper each time and we were back on the
road. Your grandma and Aunt Hannah sat in the back to keep you company but you
mostly slept the whole time. We told you a million times how much we
appreciated what a good girl you were!
In Ohio, you saw your Great Aunt Laura again and met a lot
of new people. You met your Great Aunt Chris, cousins Claire & Louise, and
Great Uncle Keive. You also met a lot of mommy’s friends and their babies! You
met Sheena, Dave & Nolan, Courtney, Chuck, & Caraline, Tracy {and
Tracy’s baby in her belly} & Chris, Jen Paglio, and of course, Rose &
Chaz!
When we got home from Rose’s wedding you gave us your first
smile! Truth be told, both your daddy and I say you smiled before that but the
night of October 19th you were ALL SMILES. We declared it the
official date of your first smiles!
You also hit another big milestone during your second month
of life: you slept through the night! You and I were staying at Grandma’s
because Daddy was in a wedding and needed to get up early and golf by grandma’s
house. You slept from 10:00-5:30!! When Daddy woke up in the morning, he said,
“Did Ella just sleep through the night?” We were amazed {and well rested}.
Since then you sleep mostly through the night. Sometimes you wake up, sometimes
you don’t. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to your sleeping
schedule, so I’m just going with it for now!
We still have some issues when we feed you. It turns out the
medicine we thought had fixed your tummy didn’t quite do the trick. It took a
Saturday morning appointment in the pouring rain, but we got you on a new
medicine and fingers crossed it works. Speaking of feeding you, you have a new
way of telling us you’re hungry….you smack your lips. It’s pretty darn cute!
Time is flying, and before we know it, I’ll be writing your
3-month letter, 6-month letter, and one-year letter! I want to see you grow and
freeze time all at the same time.
Love you Miss Ella Bean,
Mommy
