Terrific 2

Things I want to remember about Caroline’s 2nd month of life:

blue eyed girl

•   She is wearing Pampers Swaddlers size 1.  These diapers have that little color changing wetness indicator that helps us out a ton.  My mom bought a box of diapers from Sams Club every month I was pregnant.  Most of them were size 1 {good thing} Caroline will be wearing this size for a while.
•   She is still wearing some newborn clothes but has transitioned nicely into 0-3 months.
• There is not really a set sleep schedule.  I think once she is in daycare this will change.  She gives us one long stretch at night {6-7 hours} and then is up every 3 hours to eat.  I have noticed she is prompt when it comes to eating.  During the day she will take 3 naps but it is anyone’s guess when she will take them.
• When I go into her room for her 2 night feedings she greets me with a huge smile.  It’s almost like she is saying “I’m so glad to see you!”  I love that toothless grin.
• Vacuums, hair dryers, dogs barking, talking, music or the television do not bother her when she is sleeping.  Last night we had a violent thunderstorm with thunder claps every minute.  I watched her in the video monitor and she didn’t wake up.
• The changing table & her play mat are her favorites. She gets excited and kicks her feet like she is dancing.
• Her hungry cry sounds like a horse {nah nah nah} really short and choppy & her tired cry is long and has giant tears associated with it.
• We moved her into her own room this last month.  The whole family (including Pip) sleeps better this way. She is a noisy little sleeper.
