I can't believe Lily is two months old already! She's growing like a weed and I love going through this experience with just one, well sort of. I don't really have just one, I have three. We had her two month check up Friday and she's doing great. Looks very healthy and is doing all the baby things she should be doing at this age. She's still all over the board at night, but the doc said just follow her cues for feeding at night right now. She'll have night where she sleeps 9 hours and then nights (like last night) where she's up every 2 hours. The twins just seamed a little more "regular" with their night time feedings. But then again, they were such schedule babies.
She weighs just over 12 pounds and is 23 inches long, so technically she's at the weight where she could sleep through the night if she does it on her own. She just may tonight after her shots. I remember the twins slept for 24 hours (we did wake them for feedings) after their shots. She's slept ever since we've been home, just waking for feedings. She doesn't feel good I can tell as she just cries when she's awake, totally not like her at all!
She's smiling a lot now and the doc told us to officially start tummy time. He wants her on her tummy 4 to 5 times a day, right now we're just doing once a day so we'll have to up that a bit. That's her big "homework" for the next two months. Our goal is to have her pushing up on her arms by 4 months. We'll see. She's also discovered her fingers and hands this week and has been chewing/sucking on them a lot. It's amazing how much of the little baby things I've forgotten about. She's also started talking a bit only saying a few things right now, but I'm hoping the cooing will really start to take off within a month or so.
Lily is already more than half the size of Jake! He weighed in at 22 lbs and 33 inches at his two year check up.
