2 Month Update
Mylee Jo (Smiley, Jo Jo, MJ, Pudge) was 2 months yesterday. I really can't believe how the time has flown. As the saying goes, "Time Flies When You Are Having Fun" and we sure have been having fun so I guess I can believe that Mylee is already 2 months. This girl is a sweet baby...a for sure KEEPER! She is so good to her momma. Since she was 5 weeks old she has been sleeping anywhere from 6-8 hours straight on her first stretch followed by another 3-4 hour stretch. She is so happy to see me in the middle of the night...it's adorable and makes getting woken up out of a dead sleep much less painful. She doesn't have to be rocked to sleep either. We give her a bath every night around 8:30-9 and then I feed her and put her down to sleep in her crib. She is usually still awake, but as long as you leave a dim light on for her so she can look around she will put herself to sleep. Its the same situation during the night. Usually I have to pump after she is done eating so by the time I do that and put the milk away downstairs she is asleep and I can turn off the light. What a sweety, hey?
Here is what Mylee likes at 2 months old:
* Nursing
* Cooing at herself in her swing mirror
* Rocking in her swing (either direction)
* Playing with her bouncy seat in the interactive mode
* Riding in the snugli
* Going for walks in the double jogging stroller
* Tummy time (she has actually rolled over a few times)
* Bath time
* Being carried over your shoulder
Dislikes:
* Bottles (this is quite a struggle right now)
* Cold Milk
* Tylenol
She is really a sweetheart who doesn't really cry much so its hard to know what she doesn't like. She definitely doesn't like being fed by the bottle. I'm a little nervous about this situation so we are going to really have to work on this the next few weeks before I go back to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Yesterday Mylee had her 2 month doctor's appointment. Before I left I decided to look up Maddy's stats at 2 months so that I could guess what I thought Mylee's would be. Maddy was 13 lb 7 oz and 24.5 in long. So I was guessing Mylee was probably around that since she grew out of the 0-3 month clothes a few weeks ago. Well I was in for a surprise...
Weight: 14 lb. 10 oz.
Height: 24.5 in.
Oh my gosh...over a pound bigger. I thought Maddy was big, well apparently Mylee wanted to show up her sister. She has gained over 5 lbs. in 6 weeks. Kinda disgusting hey!
She did pretty good with her shots. Actually, Maddy cried longer from watching then Mylee did getting them. I had to soothe Maddy so the nurse had to soothe Mylee. Ugh! She didn't take much of the Rotavirus vaccine though as it is given in an oral suspension. She wants nothing to do with anything in her mouth besides a boob so that didn't go so well. Hence, the tylenol didn't go so well either and I had a crying baby in pain for over an hour in the afternoon while the temp. was over 80 and we both were sweating our tails off. Oh, the joys of motherhood! Her our her 2 month photos...
She's telling you where she's carrying all her weight...
HER THIGHS!
Are you laughing at me???
"I don't care...big is beautiful!"

I love her chubbiness! Her rolls are sweet. I am kind of surprised at how much bigger she is then Maddy though, wow. I am glad she is such a good baby for you guys. Hopefully the bottle thing will kick in for her soon. I can't wait to see her again (and all you guys). Hopefully Mylee will get to meet her new friend here soon!
