Carmen is 8 weeks old!

I took Carmen on August 17th to her two month appointment. She is growing so fast!! She was 8 weeks exactly on the day. Here are her stats:
Weight: 12 lbs 9 oz (75%)
Height: 23-3/4" (75%)
Head: 15-3/4" (75%)

She is starting to go a little big longer between her night feedings. I typically feed her anywhere between 9 and 10pm and she sleeps until around 2-3:30 am. After this feeding, she usually goes until 7-8am. She then eats about every 2-1/2 hours during the day. I try to feed her more during the day to keep her sleeping longer at night!

Carmen is smiling a lot! She giggled last night for the first time! She loves to look around at lights and objects. Her favorite past time is watching big brother!!

Carmen is still nursing wonderfully! I'm so grateful! The only problem is that she does not like a bottle! We try to get daddy to feed her pumped milk in a bottle every once in a while so mommy can get away sometimes.

We love you so much sweet girl! You have fit so perfectly into our little family! I simply can not imagine life without you.
Love,
mommy and daddy

I got to take both kids to the pediatrician since Matt was flying. It worked great because we luckily got in the room with the elephant painting! Roman plopped a chair right in front of the elephant and just stared and talked about the elephant. He was in heaven! We're really into animals right now!


I just love these kiddos!!! I feel blessed!
