2 months

Sammy turned two months old on July 15th!

I am trying to dress her in the same outfits that Grace wore for her monthly pictures, but I don't know how long that will last because Sammy is not as tiny as Grace was! It's fun to compare them with photos from the same age. They don't look too similar. We think Sammy looks more like John. 

We took her in for her 2 month checkup today. She got some shots and proved to us that she actually can cry! 

Her current stats:

12 lbs 2 oz- 68th percentile

24"- 96th percentile

She is currently wearing size 3 month clothing (3-6 months depending on the brand) and size 1 diapers. I think she is ready for size 2 diapers, but I am trying to use up the size 1's that we have before we move on. 

 She did great at the visit with Dr. Puterpaugh and was all smiles until her shots. 

Since she really doesn't cry that much we were curious how she would react to the shots. She definitely cried and was not pleased with the pricks. Once we were home she was definitely a bit more cranky than usual. We could tell her legs were sore so she did a long nap in her swing followed by some Tylenol and then she was fine. 

Eating: Sammy eats about 9-10 times a day. She has some longer stretches now in between feedings. She still only nurses on one side at a time and averages about 7 minutes per session. She takes bottles well if she stays with Jill of if Mommy goes out and she stays with Daddy.

Sleeping: Sammy is typically asleep for the night by 10 pm. Sometimes she will fall asleep earlier but 10:00 seems to be the sweet spot. She usually sleeps until about 3 or 4, wakes up to eat, then goes back to sleep for a few more hours. We are still swaddling her for her naps and at night, but with her arms out. Consequently, she has discovered her thumb. 

Likes: Sammy's likes musical toys that light up the most. She is starting to "play" when she is laying on her activity mat and she loves to look at her little animal friends that hang from the top. She likes to be in the swing for a little while too. 

Dislikes: Shots

Talents: Holding her head up on the Boppy

Firsts: First dip in the pool at the club
