8 Weeks Update

Wow, time really does go by really quickly. She's already 8 weeks old! Went in for her 2 month well baby checkup and vaccinations today. She weighed 12.65 pounds and measured 23 inches. That's up from 9.75 pounds and 21.5 inches at 4 weeks. Pediatrician told us that she is at the 90th percentile for weight, height and head circumference. So she's on track and thriving!!

Only thing that worries me lately is that she still does not sleep for very long stretches at night. Our record was 4 1/2 hours. I can't wait until she sleeps a little better. Now I'm not asking for 8 hours, just 5-6 hours would be great!

She is definitely more alert and active now, especially during tummy time. She's able to hold her head up and turn from side to side! I am still amazed every day with her growth and development. Just 8 more weeks until I have to go back to work. I don't really know how I feel about that. I don't want to miss out on her every day...
