The Sosbes: Rayna {2 months}

Happy 2 months Rayna Elyse! I cannot believe two whole months have already flown by. You are beginning to develop your own little personality and we just love the little person you are becoming.

Measurements: At your two month check up you measured 21.25 in long (6%) and weighed 10.14 lbs (35%)! You are wearing size 1 diapers (still) and 0-3 & just some 3 month clothes.

Sleeping: Since the end of your first month you have been sleeping (swaddled tightly) in your crib like a big girl! You prefer to sleep on your tummy. At night you have been able to sleep a lot longer which makes Mommy & Daddy very happy! You sleep anywhere between 7-10 hours at night. At 5 weeks old you slept from 8pm-4am (8 hours - your longest yet) then at 7 weeks you slept through the entire night (best present you could have given Daddy for Father's Day that morning)!! During the day you nap in your swing, in your crib, or in Mommy's arms. You usually take your long naps in the afternoon and sleep off/on in the morning for short periods of time.

Eating: You are eating about 5-6 times a day. Mommy nurses you still for each feeding but Daddy just started bottle feeding you this month (usually before bedtime and sometimes in the morning after you wake up)! During bottle feedings you started eating 3 oz. then moved up to 4 oz bottles. You get the hiccups after almost all of your feedings and when Mommy nurses you, you tend to have major blow outs during or afterwards!! Towards the end of month two you developed your two bottom teeth ALREADY! This makes it very painful for Mommy to nurse you so we have been bottle feeding you more often (breast milk).

New Tricks/Activities/Accomplishments: You are such a strong baby! You are able to lift your head and look around very well/follow us with your eyes, you have started pushing on us with your legs, you try to stand up all the time, you have a strong grasp, you are very alert to your surroundings (love people watching and playing on your play mat), you have started giving us a LOT more smiles (so sweet), you like to blow bubbles, you also just started cooing/'talking' to us, you even rolled over this month when you were 7 weeks old (I left you on your tummy to take a nap then came back and you were on your back!), and you already have your two bottom TEETH coming in which is why you have been drooling like crazy lately!! Your Daddy and I have a very good feeling you are going to be an advance baby and do everything early!! Slow down sweet girl...you are just two months old!

Likes: You love to be swaddled, spend time outside (napping or just hanging out), car rides (as long as the car is moving), your big sister (and she LOVES you), being held, bathtime, and you have become more interested in your mobile/staring at the ceiling fan/and toys hanging on your placemat.

Dislikes: You do NOT like when your pacifier falls out, being naked, being cold, getting into the car seat, when the car stops moving, or tummy time.

Random:

Made a few more trips to the pool with your sister and big cousins! You enjoy sleeping outside while they play in the water.
Celebrated Daddy on Father's Day with a crawfish boil and hanging out with your cousins
Took your first trip to the beach
Met your Granny & Tom Tom for the first time
Celebrated your first fourth of July at Granna & Pop's house! You were not a huge fan of the pool and you were able to sleep ALL night through the fireworks!

Rylee was so excited to feed you for the first time! She's the BEST big sis!
