It's hard to believe Samantha is over 2 months old! This month brought a lot of changes for Samantha! Around 6 weeks we started getting real smiles- the best thing EVER!!! Samantha also started taking medicine for acid reflux, which has made such a difference. After she would eat, she was never happy, and spit up a ton. But, since she started her medicine, she has been so much happier. Samantha is still not a fan of the stroller or carseat, and is most happy when she's being held facing out. She looks very curious and she takes everything in with her big eyes. Samantha still loves her sleep (thankfully!), she will occasionally wake up for a feeding at 4am, but usually sleeps straight from about 7pm-7am. It's not easy getting Samantha to sleep, but once she's alseep, it's all good.This girl also loves her naps, although it can be hard to nap for a long time when you have a two year old sister constantly grabbing at your toes or putting toys in your face. Samantha eats about every 3 hours, and still LOVES bathtime.
Here are Samantha's two month measurements:
Weight - 13.5 lbs.
Height - 22.5 inches
Head - 40 cm
Samantha met lots of family this month. Auntie Kara and Uncle Kevin came to visit. This month was also Samantha's first road trip! We went to Pennsylvania to my parent's house, and then took a quick day trip down to Virginia. She met her Auntie Jill, and her great grandmother!
When I originally wrote this post, my grandmother was still alive. She passed away on September 12, 2015. I am so glad that I took the girls down to see her when I did. Even though they won't remember, we will have the pictures forever. My grandmother loved seeing them and holding them, and Elizabeth still talks about "going to visit grandma".
Having two kids so close in age is exhausting, but so much fun! Elizabeth absolutely loves being a big sister and it's hard to imagine our life before Samantha!
