2 Months!

Grace,

You are 2 months old!  These past 2 months of have flown by and I cannot remember what life was like before you were here. 

You weigh 9 lbs 14 oz, 22 inches long and are growing like a weed.  You eat pretty much every 3 hours during the day and nights are a different story with each night being different.  You are in size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.

Sleep - well, sleeping at night has been a rollercoaster.  Some nights are great (like the 9 hour nights) but then other nights are a struggle for all with little or no sleep for any of us.  We are working through this and I know it is just a phase we will get through.  Funny thing is that when you sleep well your sister doesn't.  I think that is how life works!  Daddy and I both plan on sleeping in a couple of years after you and your sister are a little bit older...it may be like 20 more years before we get sleep but that is ok because you are both worth it!

During this month you had your first road trip where we got to go to Huntsville.  There you got to meet your great-grandparents and a couple of other friends.  The week was so packed we didn't get to meet everyone like I wanted, but that is ok, we are going back and will meet more then.  You got to visit your first pumpkin patch.

We live and die by routine.  I am not sure if this is a good thing or not but it helps keep me organized.  Paige's school starts at 8:30 so that means you need to eat between 7 and 7:30 in order to have enough time to eat and get ready.  We have to pick Paige up at 12 (leave the house at 11:40) so this works well with that and Paige's lunch and nap time.  I didn't do the routine thing as much with Paige because I didn't have to.  She still ate regularly but didn't have the restrictions like I feel like you have.  You are a trooper and are doing great with this!

 

 

We love you so much and are so glad you are part of our family! (we even think this as neither Mommy or Daddy are getting any sleep at night - ha!)
