Lilliana – 2 Month Update

Lilliana is already 2 months old! The start of this month was big for us because on her second month birthday was the last time I breastfed her. I cried so hard during the last session, but I already feel so much better. Breastfeeding and giving formula every 2-3 hours is a lot and it was really difficult to give the other kids any attention. I’m already feeling a lot less emotional and more like myself.

I am seriously obsessed with her. I’m not sure it’s because she MIGHT be our last baby, but all the things I did with Allie and Logan, like sleep training and have her nap without me I’m avoiding this time. She can sleep on my chest until she goes off to college. LOL

Likes:

• sleeping in the Tula and falls asleep on her own with the sound machine
• being bounced in the Tula
• looking at fans
• watching Allie and Logan
• always being held by mommy

Dislikes:

• when she’s hungry
• the paci. I still can’t believe it
• the end of the day is hard for her
• sitting in the car between Logan’s preschool pick up and Allie’s 4k drop off
• not a lot of dislikes. She’s a pretty happy baby

Schedule: She usually wakes us up around 7am. She stay up for 60-90 mins and then takes a nap. I’ll either shower or run on the treadmill during this time. Then she’ll be up for a little while before we pick up Logan from preschool. She mostly sleeps in the car during this time. She’ll be up for an hour when we get home and then back to sleep when it’s time to pick Allie up from 4k. 4-6pm she can be a little cranky and I’ll put her in the tula. Around 7-7:30 I get her ready for bed and she’s usually asleep by 8p when it’s time to put the big kids to bed. She wakes up at 2am and 5am to drink a bottle.

Eating: She’s a lot less fussy since I stopped breastfeeding and only giving her Enfamil gentle formula. She eats every 3 hours except the first stretch of nighttime sleep.

Sleep: She mostly sleeps in the bobby lounger next to me and takes 1 nap per day in the Tula and 1 in the car.

Lillie is 9 pounds 4 oz and the 4th percentile for everything.

She just started wearing size 1 diaper.

She’s wearing newborn or 0-3 month clothes.

She smiles a lot now. Mostly at mommy. 🙂

Her eyes are definitely blue and they are gorgeous!

Happy 2 months, Lilliana!
