Weight: At her 2 month check up she was almost 14lbs and I think she is sitting at about 15lbs now. She seems to grow and change a little every day. She has got the cutest roly poly thighs and rolls on her rolls.
Food: Mommy's milk is where it's at : ) Of course she doesn't know anything else and I wouldn't have it any other way. I went back to work this month, so Aaron is offering her a bottle of breast milk at about 10am and then I come home for lunch to feed her. She took the bottle the first 2 days, but now she has just been chewing on the nipple and not drinking any. I think she is just waiting for the stuff from the tap. Aaron says she isn't cranky, so that's good.
Clothes: She can still fit into a few 3 month outfits, but not many. 6 months is fitting her really good with a little room to spare. I think cloth diapers definitely make a difference, so I don't think it's all her chub. All her summer clothes go up to 3 months and the winter clothes start at 6 months. We are down to just a few outfits that still fit and it has still been in the 90's. We are hoping for some cooler weather in the coming weeks, especially before she grows out of the winter clothes I already bought her!
Sleep: We have successfully transferred Hensley to her bassinet this month. She was getting a little too mobile and making it hard for Aaron and I to get a good nights sleep. She typically goes down in her bassinet at 11pm, and then wakes up at 3:30am and 6:30am to nurse. I have been bad and have not been putting her back in her bassinet when she gets up to feed, but we'll get there :) She has been mostly a cat napper during the day. I can usually get her down for a long nap from about 3ish to 6ish, but not always.
Movement: Speaking of mobile! She is starting to get around! She can roll in almost all directions except from back to tummy. If she is on her back though, she can kick and kick and usually end up moving several inches! She has also started trying to sit up. If she is reclining, she will strain and grunt until she is sitting upright, it is super funny! She also LOVES to stand. She'll stand on my lap and just smile and talk. Product: We are really liking her activity mat! She has started rolling from her tummy to her back and can also roll from her side to her back and from her side to her tummy. She can roll best when she isn't wearing a diaper and is usually pretty content to play on it for a good 15-20 minutes or so, especially if Taelyn is down there talking to her.
Highlight: There seems to have been a lot of things going on this month. She has started smiling ALL the time. You just look at her and she smiles a huge grin. She also started rolling over, which is bittersweet. She is cooing more and more, but she is still pretty quiet compared to Tae. When Hensley wakes up in the morning she will lay there and kick her legs and scream! Not cry, not upset, but just screaming. It is really funny!
Taelyn: Big sister is such a big help. There have been times I have been in another room and Hensley will start fussing, Tae is always right there and will put the pacifier in her mouth and calm her down before I can even get there. She also loves to talk to Hensley and (be still my heart) Hensley just absolutely adores her big sister. Her eyes will follow her around the room and when Tae is playing, Hensley will sit there with the biggest grin on her face just waiting for Tae to look at her.
Blessing: I am so thankful and blessed that we don't have to put our girls in day care. I love that our schedules are so easily adjustable that we can shuffle them between the two of us. I also feel blessed to have such a great husband that is so helpful with the girls. He has gotten the hang of the cloth diapers and is even taking Tae to her home school co-op once a week. I am truly blessed with these two healthy girls. Hensley has yet to be sick and Taelyn hasn't been sick since last winter (other than one quick moving cold). Yah, for good immune systems!
