I know, I know.. 2 month post for someone who is not 2 months!

So... I know what your thinking. I.AM.A.HORRIBLE.BLOGGER. This quite possibly may be true, BUT it's only because I am working really hard at being a GREAT MOM! BOOM! Now What!?!?!?!?!

I promise I haven't skipped C turning 2 months. I took the obligatory pictures and ensured that I jotted down her stats and all the fun things of that month, I just never got around to translating that here. So not a total fail but a fail nonetheless. Charlotte turning two months was VERY bittersweet. I could feel the days slipping away that I had with her and I knew with the two month milestone meant my time with her at home was ending. She handled the two month shots much better than I did, she gained weight like a champion (holla) and the doctor was pleased that we were still BF and C is as healthy as can be.

Two months was a great month for us, smiles were really starting to come out for BOTH mom and dad and we made the first out of town trip with her during this time as well. I feel like I need an entire separate post on traveling with a two month old while still exclusively breastfeeding as that had some major challenges but the weekend was so much fun. All my besties from out of town got to meet C and all of us celebrated Alissa getting hitched! C was not taking a bottle at all at this point so it was from the tap only which proved quite challenging for this bridesmaid! We made it through though with some secret breastfeeding spots all over pittsburgh and she did great. Hubby gets a shout out too on the blog for this weekend as he dealt with all the meltdowns from a hungry C while I tried to balance my time between her and wedding activities. This weekend was challenging for him but we both felt that it ended with him and C having a great bond and her knowing that she can be soothed and comforted by someone other than mommy (mommy also learned this too).

Stats:
  - You are no longer in NB diapers, you have moved to Size 1's.
  - You can still wear newborn clothes but I find that I am putting you in 3 month clothing for the most part as some of the NB stuff is certainly getting tight!

Memorable Moments:
 - You are still sleeping in mom and dad's room and mom loves that!
 - You are still a great night sleeper but fight naps during the day like no other.  We are working on getting you settled prior to you loosing it because you are so tired!
 - SMILES, SMILES, and more SMILES! No giggles yet but tons of smiles!
 - You are also very much working on your hand eye coordination and focusing on things in front of you.
- Still no pacifier or bottles. I am not pushing the pacifier but the bottle we have no choice so this is a daily struggle with us and I have spent a small fortune on nipples.
- You prefer quiet time at some point during the day, I do not have the house loud and I love that you and I just chat away at each other. You chat, I chat and this goes on and on... It's heaven!

You are gaining such a personality as each week passes and we are really starting to see a lot of dad in you! Most days I would say that you look most like Dad. Your hair is still light brown in some areas and darker in the back with your usual patches. I steel kisses all day long and you love chatting with Dad when he comes home from work! xoxoxo
