Dylan is 2 Months Old!

 

Dylan's 2 month pic!  She's such a happy girl in her pretty yellow outfit.  I love it!

Dylan turned 2 months old on Saturday! Sadly, I missed it because I was in New York for work.  I felt so bad not being there but let's be honest, she had no idea I was even gone or that her blog post is a few days late.  But now that I am back to work I am going to have a hard time blogging, but I owe it to her to do as much as I did for the boys.  I'll do my best to keep up in between mothering, wife-ing. cleaning, working and traveling.

So our little angel had her 2 month check up on Monday and she's doing amazing!  She's slowed down a bit on her weight and only gained just over 2 pounds this month bringing her to 12 pounds, 15 oz.   But instead of 90th percentile she's at 75th....which is still pretty big.  And she's continuing to get really long...she grew 2 inches this month bringing her to 23 and 3/4 inches.....still in the 90th percentile.  So overall she's still a big girl!  She's only 2 months and already wearing 6 month clothing....oye vey!  I grow 'em big for some reason!

Since I had to start traveling already I had to wean her off breastfeeding.  It was a little earlier than I wanted to but she has handled the transition really well.  And honestly, I am really glad to have closed that chapter in my life...it was never really my thing but I did it for the kids.  And our sweetie loves the bottle so everyone wins!

Dylan is smiling and talking so much these days.  She loves to lay on her back and talk to her little animal friends or talk to us.  Its nice to have a bit of break now that she lets us put her down.  But she still prefers to be held and can get pretty fussy when we don't pick her up right away.  We're hoping she calms down a bit more and doesn't need to be held all the time.  But on the plus side, Dylan is an awesome sleeper!  I still haven't put her on the best schedule during the day but at night she's a champ.  She sleeps for 7 or 8 hour stretches at a time which is heaven for me. I predict she'll be sleeping all night in the next 2 weeks....hopefully!

I actually caught her smiling on camera several times this past week so I have some great pictures to share.  She still looks so much like Jack but she's starting to look more like a girl which makes me very happy.  And she has the softest, squishiest skin ever...so much better than the boys did.  No eczema for her, thankfully!  I just love her to bits and can't get enough of her!  Having 3 kids is no joke, but she's so worth the trouble!!  Here's our adorable little butter ball in all her happiness...

 

A sweet moment with her big brother Jack.  She really responds to him...

The first time in her crib.  She lasted for about 5 minutes before she freaked out.  She's still in our room and I am just not ready to have her in her crib yet.  I can't explain it but I just want her to be with me at night right now...

I'm loving all of her smiling these days...

Bathing beauty...

 

Gav loves taking pics with the baby.  I'm just not so sure she loves taking them with him...

But with Jack she's all smiles...

He really adores his sissy...

Dylan's favorite place to sleep is in her carrier.  She'll sleep in there for 2 to 3 hours.  I love this picture because she's asleep but smiling and has one little foot sticking out...

Happy girl!
