Two Months Old.

Happy two months, Mirei! Here are some pictures that we took of you this morning — you’ve grown so much!

(I’ll be taking photos of Mirei sitting in my white desk chair and wearing her monthly onesie every month until she’s one year old.)

The Rundown at Two Months…

Stats: You are definitely gaining weight these days, as you’ve gotten noticeably heavier! We haven’t had a chance to weigh you precisely, but according to our scale at home, you weight almost 15 lbs now… close to double your birth weight! Everyone comments on how much chubbier you’ve gotten, especially in the face — we love those chubby cheeks!

Things You’re Doing Now: You’ve started to make more eye contact with us, which shows that you’re starting to be able to see a little more clearly. In the past week, you’ve started to occasionally flash us a quick smile here and there while you look at us, but they are always fleeting. I haven’t had you do a lot of tummy time yet, but you already have so much neck strength and are always lifting your head up and craning your neck this way and that over my shoulder when I am holding you upright. You tend to be very sleepy and quiet during the daytime, but are most awake and often irritable in the evenings, after your big sister has gone to bed. This before-bedtime fussiness can be stressful for us, but since around six weeks old, you’ve been sleeping 5-7 hours most nights, which is pretty amazing — we feel more rested now that you’re sleeping through the night so early in life! You seem to be more calm during your baths now, especially when Daddy bathes you. You love being held and cuddled more than anything, so we try to oblige as much as possible! 🙂
