So we have made it two months as parents, and I think that we are doing a pretty good job.. Philippe is off work now until September and it is great having him home.. He is very helpful with the housework, Brielle and everything else.. He is a great Papa..
I can`t believe that Brielle is 2 months.. I still feel like I am in my own little world.. She is perfect in every way.. I can`t compain.. She does have some fussy times but what Baby doesn`t..
She is probably about 10.5 pounds now ( we weighed her on the bathroom scale).. She is now wearing 3 month clothing.. We just had to go buy her some little hosue outfits.. I feel bad that all she has to wear is sleepers to have a lazy day.. She few little outfits, but like any person, who likes to get dressed up all the time.. So we got some oneies and little leggings to wear around the house..
She has learned to smile and laugh.. It is the cutest thing ever.. She especially likes to laugh at her Papa.. She is trying more and more everyday to make talking sounds..
She has gone from a baby that hates to have her diaper chaged.. The kind of baby that would scream to a baby that laughs and smiles..
She loves to have a bath... She just doesn`t like to get out.. She hates leaving the water and getting dried off..
She loves to hang out in her swing.. When she is fussy it is one of the only things that will help her settle..
I in a way feel that we have gone backwards in one area.. When Brielle came home from the hospital she went directly into her own room in her crib.. Now that Philippe is not working when she is cranky we allow her to seelp in our bed.. Never thought that I could be a co-sleeper, but it works.. Sometimes it is just for the first half of the night and sometimes it is all night.. But it worls and she still goes in her crib so I think we will be ok.. I just fear that she will not want to sleep in her crib if we allow her to sleep with us to much..
That is all for now!!
I have a poopy bum to change.. Since Philippe has yet to attack that challange :)
Glad to see you revived the blog. I can understand why it's hard to keep up but I enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteLove it that your little family is doing well, hope to visit again soon.
Eli slept in our bed on and off for the first couple months, but I kept a bassinet right by our bed until he was four months old. That way when he woke up I could just grab him, flop back down and nurse, then either put him back or fall asleep with him. I think as long as you get them into a crib by 3 or 4 months they won't be too set in their ways. And hey, maybe you WILL be one of those co-sleepers! It's not for me, but it works for a lot of people!
ReplyDeleteI dont want to a co sleeper though :(
