Letters To Joleigh - Two Months






 
My sweet baby girl!  You had your 2 month check up on September 2nd and you're weighing 12.8lbs and are 22.75 inches long.  You are growing perfectly and we just love you so much.  This post is almost a month behind because you keep us extremely busy.  Our days stay pretty hectic, but we wouldn't change it for the world.
 
You love bath time each night, but absolutely loathe when it comes to dry off and put lotion on.  Mama does it as quickly as possible so you'll stop screaming in my ear.  =)  You started staying with Ms. Mattie when Mama went back to work last month and you seem to be enjoying it so far.  I think she lets you sleep far too much during the day and doesn't change your diaper like I would, but that's just your Mama trying to always be in control.
 
Speaking of sleep - you're normally out by 9 each night and sometimes earlier.  You sleep anywhere from 4-6 hours before waking for a night time feeding.  You're wearing 0-3 months clothing and are starting to outgrow some of those onesies in that size.  It really just depends on what brand it is though. 
 
For the last month or so you have started to get really angry each night around 5-6.  The dr. said you may be a bit colicky so I try to get you to take a little nap after I pick you up each day to make you not feel as tired.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.  You definitely let us know when you're not happy though!
 
This has been a very rough month for your Mama and I'm sure you feed off of my emotions as well.  I plan on trying much harder to keep calm and let things go as they will.  It's just very hard because your Mama is a stubborn person.  I know you love me regardless though.  And I love you!!
