Dear Charlotte,
Oh how I enjoyed your second month. I tried to soak up every minute, knowing I'd have to go back to work soon. It was definitely a month of ups and downs though! Everything I read said that around 6 weeks or so breastfeeding gets easier. Like clockwork (literally the DAY you were 6 weeks) it's like everything clicked. Nursing has been a breeze ever since. You try to pick your head up a lot, and love tummy time. You are actually pretty strong for how little you are! You were still in newborn clothes and diapers though. Still a tiny little thing!
You went to your first A&M tailgate - for the LSU football game in College Station. You did so great, you're such a chill baby. You don't mind having several different people hold you - loud noises still don't even phase you. You're definitely more aware of what's going on around you though. We took a few family walks - you really enjoy moving. Whether it's while you're being held, in the car seat, stroller, car, whatever. As long as you're moving around you're a happy camper. I guess we should have been prepared for that, given you've been squirmy as long as I've known you.
You're still very gassy. Nothing I do seems to really help, so we're just hoping it gets better.. You love to eat, whether it's nursing or taking a bottle you are so enthusiastic! It's really the only time you fuss is when you're hungry. You went through your 6 week growth spurt, those were a fun 2 days. You didn't sleep much at all and you were hungry about every 1.5 - 2 hours! Then things went back to business as usual. You naturally fell into a pretty good routine - so I just follow your cues and go with the flow.
We finally found you a day care too! It's pretty close to our house, which is nice for dropping you off. Everyone seems really nice, and they have 2 different infant rooms. Overall the school is smaller, so hopefully you'll still get lots of love and attention. I have a lot of anxiety over having to leave you, I want to be able to stay with you all day every day! But, I also want to work too - so hopefully I'll adjust after a few weeks. I know you'll be just fine. You just love everyone you meet - and everyone comments on what a great baby you are - so I think they'll love you! Let's just hope you wait until you're a few months older to get sick....
I was a little behind on taking your "official" 2 month pictures - and I haven't uploaded them yet. I'll get that done soon!
Love,
Mommy
