It’s so hard to believe that little miss Maelyn has been a part of our lives for 10 weeks now. She has enriched us in so many ways. I wouldn’t trade a minute for anything!!
She did have her 2 month check up on the 29th of July. She weighed in at 11lbs 11oz. and grew to 24 inches!! Our little baby isn’t so little! I always hear parents say how fast they grow…I never doubted this comment, but is just strikes a whole different chord when it’s your little one inching taller seemingly before your eyes.
Maelynis doing so well. We are still nursing exclusively, and that is going wonderfully. She’s off to a healthy start in life! Sleeping?? Well, she is doing that well too. She will regularly sleep a solid 6 hours in a night w/o waking for a feeding. With the recent move to our new place, it has taken some adjustement for us all, but she is doing so well. Soon we will begin the transition to her crib for nights. She has been in the bassinet in our room thus far. I think this transition will be harder on me!! =) Maelyn isn’t so fond of tummy time, but we do it anyway, and her back and neck are getting very strong! Recently she started giving us a cute tiny laugh. It’s not very regular yet…and we are on the hunt to hear it again..its adorable!!
What I love about my baby girl….
~ I love it when she falls asleep on my chest.
~ I love her sighs when she is falling asleep.
~ I love her big smile.
~I love her coo’s and chatter when she’s awake and excited.
~ I love how Matt can make her smile more than anyone else.
~ I love seeing the way they look at each other.
~ I love being a mommy!!
