Harper Two Months Old

         

Age: Two Months

Weight: 11 lbs 4.5 oz, currently in the 63 percentile 

Length: 22 3/4 inches long, currently in the 64 percentile

Size: All 3 months clothes and pajamas. Size 1 diapers

Hair: Her hair has lightened up to a medium brown and looks like she has lost some in the front. When her hair is wet at bath time it had some waves to it so I think she just might get some curly hair. Her head is currently in the 65 percentile. 

Eyes: Blue gray, I’m guessing she’s going to have blue eyes like her brother.

Health: This month she has been fighting off the beginning signs of a cold. She's developed a slight cough that has gotten a bit worse the past week or so and slightly stuffed up at night but the doctor said everything sounds good and clear. This girl has some major huge boogers that come out of her nose, I'm amazed she can even breathe and isn't more congested than she is. Aside from that she has been all good. 

Teeth: N/A

Sleeping: Naps really stink right now, she prefers to catnap throughout the day. Every once in a while she will get one really good nap in during the day that lasts longer than an hour but typically they are 20-40 minutes long. Her witching hour seems to be slowing decreasing! We are seeing more and more days of her giving into sleep earlier in the night and staying asleep. Some days I've been able to put her to bed around 9:00pm!! Some days it's still not until 11:00pm but it's progress. She has gone a solid 6 hours sleeping at night quite a few times and typically sleeps for at least 4 hours regularly at night before waking to eat and goes right back to sleep for another 3-4 hours. She typically wakes up around 8-9:00pm, girlfriend prefers to sleep in which is great however her brother does not.

Eating: Currently Harper eats anywhere from every 2-4 hours during the day depending on her naps and every 4 or more hours so at night.

Movement: Lifting her head up and rolling to her side

Milestones: Smiling a ton. Starting to "talk" to her "friends" on the bouncy seat and people. Kicking her legs in excitement when interacting with someone or her "friends". Can roll onto her side but not at night when swaddles yet thankfully. Has started putting a little pressure on her legs when you stand her up but only for a second or two. Staying awake for longer periods.

Favorite Toys/Activities: Eating, sleeping, pooping, being held, and her bouncer.  

Dislikes: Being alone, she really prefers to have people close by and paying attention to her. Naps, she loves fighting naps and catnapping throughout the day.  

Words: N/A

Sounds: Squawks, cries (and has added a lip quiver with it), cooing and starting to "talk"
