Little Miss Elin is quickly growing and changing. She is a pretty content baby and loves snuggling more than anything. She is exploring the world around herself so much more this month. The past few days when we are out and about she will look around for a little bit before she falls back asleep.
She likes to lay and look up at her mobile and bat her arms and legs. She really enjoys any diaper free kick around time she gets. She loves to talk to all of us and she flashes us big gummy smiles. She loves being bounced on the ball or held close in the Moby wrap. Loves being snuggled and kissed. Her other current favorites are bath time, watching Thomas and laying on her changing table talking to her toys.
She is somewhat interested in taking a pacifier. You have to hold it in her mouth or be holding it in against your body for her to continue to suck. She will take it most of the time in the Moby or in her car seat. She has also started to suck on her hands when she is playing, hungry or upset.
Elin has started to work out a pretty consistent schedule. After waking up and eating she will be awake for 45 minutes to an hour before wanting to go back to sleep. Her naps are about 1.5 to 2 hours and she sleeps better if being held (in arms or Moby) or in her swing. Bedtime for her is between 6:30-7:30 and then she sleeps until the next morning waking up to eat a couple times a night. I think she is doing some longer stretches of sleep between 4-6 hours but haven’t wanted to see if it is for real or me dreaming!
We are thinking Elin is going to have red hair and blue eyes. We will see as her hair gets longer, but so far her eyebrows and the hair she has has a distinct reddish tint. At her 2 month appointment all was well. She weights 11 lbs and 9 oz and was 24 inches long. She is growing so quickly!
