so i did take these pictures when pepper was 2 months old (on the 9th), but i'm JUST getting around to writing about her sooooooo that's dumb. so our sweet little pepper is almost 3 months as of right now but i'll try to just talk about the things she was at 2 months!
eating: she is still kind of the worst nurser. not the WORST nurser...but the worst nurser of my three children by FAR. i've probably already said this but it's just a constant latch, unlatch, latch, unlatch....etc... and i have a pretty fast flow so you can imagine there is just milk EVERYWHERE after we are done. we are both soaked. so. that's been fun. but i'm still very grateful to be nursing and she's still the cutest so, i forgive her. she's been eating every 3 ish hours lately.
sleeping: sleep has been good!!! when she was 2 months old she had been sleeping through the night for about a week, maybe a little more! (and she still is... i have all the hallelujah hands going on over here). what's perfect about it is, i didn't even have to try for it! she just started doing it on her own. so that's awesome. she doesn't nap super great in the day though... the longest in the day is maybe an hour... she cat naps in the day and then sleeps hard at night. i'll take it.
milestones: she started smiling regularly! i love it when they start to smile. she is a good mix of brecken and grant... brecken smiled at EVERYONE and grant scowled at EVERYONE...she scowls and smiles so, good balance there. :) she hasn't rolled over yet, but that's probably my bad cause we don't do a lot of tummy time. she has great head and neck control and kind of always has! so i am really bad at making her chill on her tummy just to roll over. and if i'm being honest...i'm savoring this time where she's still completely immobile.
things i want to remember:
she loooooooves her mama. like....loooooves. probably more than any of my other kiddos did at this age. i don't know if it's cause right after she was born everyone in our family got sick so for like a week solid i was the only one who could hold her??? but she doesn't just like me for nursing (like my other two.....*eye roll emoji*) ...she wants me just to hold her. comfort her. it's sweet.
she haaaates going to sleep at night. screams...just screams until she finally falls asleep and then sleeps all night so...that's funny and weird and kinda cute. hopefully that's not a foreshadow of what we have to look forward to in the future.
still won't take a binki...i give up!
we haven't tried a bottle yet....she probably won't take that either....whatevs.
so she had her 2 month appointment and i had the sheet with all her percentiles on it and such and i LOST IT! that's what happens when you're living kind of in a mess in your mothers house while you house hunt. ugh. but i do remember she was 12 lbs and in the 70th percentiles for height and weight! so she's coming down a little bit from the 90th percentile.
(if i ever find that paper i'll come back and update this for my own sake)
anyway! that's miss pepper at 2 months and basically 3 months, too. :)
(i found her sheet!!! stats below...)
weight: 12 lbs percentile: 73rd
length: 22.5 inches percentile: 57tt
head circumference: 15.3 inches percentile: 75th
Oh she is just the sweetest!
