2 months old!

I can’t believe Martha is already two months old! At the same time, I can’t believe she’s only two months old because its hard to remember life before this beauty entered our family and won our hearts. What a precious girl she is, and it is a joy to watch her grow!
Martha is a little wiggle worm, always kicking her covers off, squirming til she’s turned completely 180 degrees in bed, and moving her hands in front of her face and into her mouth. I am also guessing she will be rolling over onto her belly soon, as she is always turning completely on her side when trying to look at something. We’ll see.
You may have been able to tell from recent pictures the severe case of baby acne that she has had. Two weeks ago I finally took her to the doctor to make sure it wasn’t anything else. She assured me that it’s normal and will go away. The last few days I have finally seen consistent improvement so I’m hoping we’re at the end of it.
She continues to do well with her eating. She’s eating 5 or 6 times a day, about every 3 to 4 hours. After her last meal at night, anywhere from 7:30 to 9:30, depending on what the day was like, she usually goes down for the night and we don’t hear from her again until 5:30-6:30. I don’t know if that is technically sleeping through the night but I’ll take it I am thankful for that. Her napping is going better and I can usually count on one long daytime nap (2.5-3.5 hours) and then little hour-ish ones in between her other meals. According to my very rough calculations (meaning my own weight subtracted from my weight while holding her), she is a little over 6kg which is almost 13.5 lbs (around the 90th percentile). So she’s gaining her ounce a day that she’s supposed to. And she’s still a tall little girl at 24 inches (87th percentile). We’re very thankful for her health and growth.
Martha continues to charm us with her smiles and become more and more interactive. She is responding to Noa more which is fun to watch. Noa can make her laugh (and cry!) quite well depending on what she does. Martha is a talker like her sister already. I often wake up in the morning to her babbling, and she’s just sitting there kicking and cooing away. I love to hear her happy sounds, and she loves to talk back to anyone who will stop for a chat.
Oh yea, and Martha is quite the drooler. I hope it has nothing to do with teething (not ready for that yet!) but she can certainly blow some bubbles from her mouth. Not very ladylike but still cute (at least to us!).
Well, as I write, I just heard some big rumbles accompanied by a silly grin… I guess its time for yet another diaper change This is life with an infant after all…
Thanks for checking in with us!
