Two Months

Maizelyn has changed so much in the last two months. She is getting more into a routine and we are getting to have a little more face time with her. The first month consisted of a lot of crying and us not knowing what she was in need of. Was it food? Was it a dirty diaper? Or was it sleep? We couldn't figure it out and the doctor informed us that she has colic and that we just need to be patient for three months. Well we've been as patient as we can be and I think it's starting to pay off even before the third month has arrived. After her first road trip to Chicago we learned better eating habits and have seen a much happier girl. I was still struggling with getting up every two to three hours to feed her but just before her two month birthday we started having her sleep in her own room. The first night she slept for five hours!! Needless to say we didn't get that much sleep because we were checking to make sure she was still breathing. What can I say, we're new parents. At night she sleeps for five hours, maybe even six but it's made us a lot happier. Our days consist of kicking her legs like crazy. She loves to sit in the bouncer chair and reach for the toys that hang down. I got so excited when I first saw her reaching and recognizing the toys. She loves to smile and coo. This can go on for about an hour and a half and then she is tired. We have really enjoyed watching her grow.
Can't believe our daughter is already two months. Time flys!
She loves movement so it makes sense for her to fall asleep in her swing.
We thought she was so cute in her blue dress and bow and her adorable socks that Aunt Drexa got her.
Considering she does have colic we like to keep her more upright. She enjoys falling asleep on our shoulder like this.
