So this is love!




See, she does smile! We are so happy to report that Sierra is being considerably happier! And so are her parents! She still has a few episodes sometimes, but she is doing really well at laying on the floor or the bed and just smiling and cooing and looking at the toys we rattle in front of her. It's wonderful. I feel like we are emerging out of the dark, and heading into euphoric days! She's a great snuggler! One of my favorite things about her. I can't wait for her to start giggling :)

Her two month check up was about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but here are her stats!
Weight: 12 lbs 5 oz (81st percentile)
Height: 23'' (67th percentile)
Head: 15;; (25th percentile) smallest baby head we've had, other two were off the charts ;)
She is not a fan of napping during the day. But like I mentioned before, she will at least lay happily on the floor while we play with her! She mostly likes to tease me that she is going to sleep. Her naps are usually 4-5, 30-45 minute naps a day. Once in a while I will get one 2-3 hour nap out of her a day, with a few cat naps too, of course. She is sure a sleeper at night though. She started out doing mostly 8-9 hours straight, and has now done 3, 11 hour sleeps, straight through the night. Too bad I can't always get to bed when she does. There's always so much to get done, or I'm at work. Started back on the 30th of August. I must admit, I was a little excited to have a break. This motherin' stuff is HARD! I love it though and wouldn't change a thing. I love my girls and hubby for all they do for me!
