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!

She's adorable!! Sometimes I wish for a break myself--it is hard!
look at those cheeks! i will squish them.
Oh, I just love those baby smiles, she's darling! I'm so glad things are looking up for you guys. We're getting there too. Day time is better, each day he gets happier. I wish he'd sleep like yours at night, I can only get 2-3 hrs at a time but lately it's only 1-2 hrs. I do know he'll grow out of this stage eventually!
She is so cute! I love her chubby cheeks! Definitely kissable! :)
Ohh I'm so so glad that Sierra is more herself now. That's how I view it, because colicky babies are so rough, I just have to chalk it up to not liking their new little bodies quite yet, and having to find their sweet selves again. And I hope that you're feeling more yourself too (it sends you for a loop, huh?) I so agree with the motherin' stuff comment. I think that it's a blessing to work at times. You're a great momma, Janna!
