15 inches head circumference---35th percentile
Hollis is a great night sleeper! She sleeps from about 10-10:30 PM to 5:00 AM (with me waking her up for feeding). I would let her sleep longer, but the pediatrician said not to let her go past 6 hours between feedings at this age.
She still loves cuddling on Mommy's chest. When she's able, I think she will be a belly sleeper!
We started a new routine of Daddy giving baths at night. It's a special time for them and I love watching!
We also started reading nightly to Hollis before bed while we get those last cuddles in for the night.
Hollis is holding her head up like a champ! She is still learning to love tummy time but does great for about 10 minutes before she's had enough.
In the evenings while I cook, I put Hollis in her Snug-A-Bunny bouncer so she can watch me around the kitchen. I turn on some music and will dance and sing to keep her entertained. She loves when I get close and sing to her.
Her "witching hour" is around 7:30-8:00. She usually looses her cool and takes a while to calm down. That cry will break your heart...she just hits a point of exhaustion and hasn't figured out that all she has to do is just close those eyes! ha!
We had our first playdates this month with Ella and Noah, and then with Cousins Bella, Farrah and Julianne.
Hollis found her hands and loves chewing on them.
Naps during the day are getting better. I've figured out that after about a hour and a half of feeding/awake time she is ready to go down for a nap. At that time, I bring her upstairs, swaddle her, and then read and rock her until she is drowsy. Once she gets that drowsy look, I lay her down in her swing. She naps best in her swing and will sleep anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half.
Due to my low supply of breast milk, she is only getting about half an ounce to a full ounce from me. So, Hollis is still nursing with Mommy and then taking 3 oz of formula.
Hollis' hair has started falling out but she has some beautiful blonde hair coming in!
Her sister-kitty, Maggie is becoming more curious of Hollis. Maggie will lay down beside her activity mat and also hop up on the couch to sniff her sisters head.
Hollis LOVES laying on her activity mat. She will talk and kick her legs the entire time she is on there. I love watching her get excited!
Hollis had her 2 month vaccines today. She had 2 shots in her legs and an oral medicine. She loved the taste of the oral medicine. The nurse said it was very sweet but that most babies do not like it...Hollis couldn't get enough! I guess she has a sweet tooth like her Mama! It was pitiful watching her get the shots in her legs! The nurse had me hold her hands and it broke my heart watching that sweet face bust out in tears. She cried for about 5 minutes and then calmed down when we snuggled her. We LOVE Hollis' pediatrician, Dr. Steele!
Dr. Steele said that Hollis' right side of her head is a little flat. She said it isn't anything to worry about at this point, but that we need to work on her laying/resting on her right side. Dr. Steel said to move her position in the crib at night so that what she looks at usually is on her right side. Hollis's low percentile in her head circumference was nothing to show concern of either, Dr. Steele said that head growth comes in spurts.
