2 Months Old


At two months old Isla:

-Still loves relaxing on her tummy.  Especially if she is fussy or upset.
-Wakes up once a night.  I wake her to feed her between 10-11 before I go to bed, and then she wakes up once to eat before waking for the day around 8:00.  
-Is doing really well at taking naps in her cribs.  Right around five weeks she started doing this.  She will sometimes be fussy, or making little sounds before falling asleep.  Other times, she is louder and needs us to put her binky in a few times.  And other times she will just lie awake quietly for up to an hour.  I remember Asher doing this same thing.
-She is so pleasant and loves smiling back at you.  Asher still just loves getting her to smile.
-Prefers to nap in her crib, but will still fall asleep in other people's arms.  She rarely will fall asleep in mom's arms though.
-Will take a bottle with no problem, and has been taking about one a day with pumped breastmilk.  She has taken formula once and had no problem with it.
-She still wears size 1 diapers and is in 0-3 month clothes, although some are getting too short for her.  She is a long, skinny little thing.

Two month stats:
Weight: 10 lbs 14 oz (50 percentile)
Height: 24 inches (95 percentile)
Head Circumference: 14.8 inches (20 percentile)

She hated her shots so badly.  She cried and cried until finally falling asleep in the car.  She was pretty miserable and sad for a good day after getting them.  Poor little thing.  Asher was so sweet and nearly in tears when they gave them to her.  He kept telling me he wished they didn't have to do that. 


Time usually goes by so quickly, but I feel like I can't remember a time when you weren't a part of our family.  We love you so much and have loved these past two months so much.

Halloween

What a fun Halloween we had this year! From the very beginning Asher was dead set on being a ninja turtle. It seemed so random to me considering he has never seen a show or had any of the toys, but he definitely knew what he wanted. He also wanted to be the blue one. At first I gave him other options and tried to come up with a family themed costume but realized that's what he really wanted so we went with it. 

Halloween night was so amazing for Asher. We met up with his two cute buddies, Kylee and Madsen and we trick or treated together for hours. I couldn't believe how long they lasted. Poor Asher couldn't even walk the next morning his feet hurt so bad. 
Christine took these cute pictures of the three of them together. 
The day before we got to trick or treat with Ryan and Theo at T's work. 
We got Isla all dressed up and then she got super sleepy. 
Wednesday night was a trunk or treat at the church. I dressed Isla up but she slept away in her car seat. Asher thought it was tons of fun and couldn't believe how easy it was to get so much candy. I thought he would be more scared because he's been quite timid lately and talks about how scary things are. He really only got scared once though and I can't say that I blame him-it was at a super spooky Halloween house where a goblin creature of some kind jumped out at everyone. 
Twinsies! 
Happy halloween!
