2 Months Old

Wow, I'm behind! Emerson turned 2 months old on August 16, but with school starting (for teachers - kids come Monday), trying to prepare for a long term substitute, and tending to a sick Jackson who keeps throwing up IN THE CAR, I haven't had time to do any posting.

Emerson went for her 2 month well check last Thursday. She was 11 lbs 6 oz (50%) and 22 3/4 inches tall (50%). Dr. Pielop was impressed with her meeting all the developmental milestones and that she has been sleeping through the night. Her "through the night" and my "through the night" are different, but essentially she sleeps 6 hours straight. She smiles & coos ALL the time and is just the happiest baby! We love that, of course! When awake she eats about every 4 hours - I forgot how fun pumping is at school. She is quite the little chunker...her arms look like she wears a fat suit. She wears either 0-3 month clothing or 3 month depending on the brand. Emerson is still not too fond of tummy time, but she tolerates it better than Jackson ever did. She still has almost all her hair - Jackson's had all fallen out by this time - and her eyes are still blue. Dr. Pielop guessed that they would stay blue since they are so light.

Not a particularly good picture, but it shows her blue eyes (and quadruple chin).
