Two months Old

Little Care bear is 2 months today. My how time flies.

She weighs 11 lbs and .5 oz (75 percentile) and she is 23 inches long (90 percentile).

She coos and smiles. She sleeps from about 11 to 4, eats, then sleeps more (on most nights).

She is sweet. Oh so sweet. She cries, but usually for a reason. Her teachers at daycare have all commented on how sweet she is. There is something special about this girl.

She has a lot of hair still and gray eyes. I think she'll loose some hair like Eliza did. A mohawk may be on the way.

She is wearing size one diapers and some 0-3 some 3-6 month clothes.

Her smile makes me melt, but I can't seem to catch it on camera. The camera puzzles her and her smile disappears.

She loves her big sister. She was grinning at her today and Eliza had the biggest smile. My heart was filled with joy seeing my babies smile at each other.

She started daycare on Tuesday. It seems harder this time. I don't know if it is because I know how fast she will grow or if it is because she is such a sweet baby. It is extra hard to leave her. It isn't just leaving her that is hard. I am having a really hard time adjusting. I know it's only been two days, and I know it will get better. I was so happy while off from work and work has been very stressful. So it is going to be a hard adjustment. Plus I am tired and I don't function well on little sleep. I am finding it very difficult to be happy. But I know I have to work and I know I want to be happy regardless of what is going on so I will figure it out. But it is very rough right now. Kase has been very supportive and loving to me and I am thankful for that.

Caroline is learning what it is like to be a little sister. I can tell she is going to look up to Eliza so much. But she is also going to have to be a strong little one. Last night, I told Eliza that we were going to take baby sister to the doctor today and she would have to get shots. I laid Caroline on the couch so I could put some laundry in. I heard her crying so I poked my head out the door. Eliza was giving Caroline her pacifier and all was well. Then I heard her crying again. I looked out the door and I thought Eliza was giving her the pacifier again, but when I came out I found Eliza with her play doctor kit giving Caroline a shot. She wasn't hurt but I felt bad. Eliza is such a good big sister though. She is very sweet and helpful.

It was hard to get good pictures of her today. She was very sleepy all day. Especially after her shots. But these are what I got:

We are so glad to have Caroline in our family. She has made a very sweet addition. We love her.
