Having a baby threw my world upside down and I had to figure out how my new life functions. At 2 months postpartum I finally feel like my life has started to make sense again.
It is such a joy to stay home and watch Emmeline grow and learn new things everyday. I used to think that would be boring, but far from it, it is in fact both exciting and bittersweet. It's fascinating watching her learn new things. I get so excited about every new advancement, no matter how small. But at the same time it makes me so sad that she's growing up, part of me wants her to stay little forever--a feeling that every mother feels I'm sure.
Oh, and her 2 month checkup--was as predicted: awful! Soo many shots on a baby is a sad, sad thing. Eric and I both got a little teary eyed about it. Her screams were just so awful, but thankfully she seemed to recover fairly quickly. In fact she even had a little play date with Great Grandma right afterwards while I cleaned the new house before moving day.
Her 2 month stats:
Weight: 9 lbs. 6 oz. 17%
Height: 22.5 in. 59%
Head circ: 14.5 in. 9%

| Picture of the day we went for her checkup. |
Her new accomplishments:
- She smiles a lot now, and will even smile at strangers.
- She has started cooing and squeaking, it is the most adorable thing ever.
- She loves her hands. She likes to suck on them. In fact she loves them so much that shoves BOTH of her hands in her mouth at the same time.

| She's probably closely to 3 months in this picture, but it's the best picture of her eating her hands. |
- Two nights before we moved to our new house Emmeline feel asleep in her own crib and mommy and daddy got their bed back to themselves. And what was even more miraculous, she slept the whole night long. In fact, I woke up on my own and there was silence. I leaped out of bed to see if she was okay, because I hadn't woken to silence since before she was born. And there she was in her crib, awake, just looking around. Hallelujah, finally!
- We still struggle with naps, but after that first night, she sleeps well in her crib at night. and will generally sleep 6-7 hours at night!
