.:Harper - Two Months:.

Um, can someone explain to me how Miss Harper can be two months already?

This beautiful girl is such a sweet addition to our family. She had her two month appointment last week, and her stats came in at:

Weight: 9 lbs 2 oz (11th percentile)

Length: 23 inches (75th percentile)

So, still our little string bean!

She handled her shots like a champ. The initial pain made her wail, but as soon as I picked her up, she calmed down.

Harper had her first smile when she was around 6 weeks old, but it was only last week that she started really smiling consistently. It might be one of the cutest things I've ever seen! She has a little dimple that is so adorable. It's like she has to work up to her smile; she does a little Elvis-esque sneer before she launches into a full blown smile. I haven't been able to snag a good picture of her smiling yet, but hopefully soon! Harper is also starting to coo and talk a little bit. I'm hoping that really picks up soon. I love little baby conversations!

Harper is still not a fan of baths. I think there has been one bath so far where she didn't cry at all during it, but otherwise, she isn't too impressed. Hopefully that will start to change a little bit soon.

We don't have any sort of schedule established yet for Harper. I think that I'm starting to get lazy with this third baby! She's pretty easy going when we are out and about, which we are a lot. I'm really lucky that she doesn't hate her car seat and sleeps pretty well in it most of the time. Makes it much easier to run errands, and keep the girls having playdates.

Her nites are still really inconsistent. We've had some recently where she's up every hour and half, and then others where she only wakes up once. This past week she seems to be getting into a decent schedule of eating at 11 when I go to bed, getting up once somewhere between 2-4, and then again around 5-6. I usually pull her up into bed with me for that last feeding, and then leave her to sleep in our bed while I go work out. Hopefully we can get that going better soon! Her doctor said we could - and should - start a little bit of sleep training with her to get her falling asleep on her own. We'll see how it goes. I'm not sure I'm ready to venture into that quite yet!

We started Harper on Zantac for her reflux a couple of weeks ago. It seems to be helping some. She does really well taking the nasty medicine, so maybe she understands that it helps her some, too! We also had to do some eye drops for a little bit because she had an eye infection.

Harper has been really alert since she was born. Now that she can see and is focusing better, it is fun to watch her look around and try to make sense of her world. She seems so curious; it's so cute to watch her looking around!

She's just a beautiful, sweet little baby, and I'm so excited to see what the next month has in store for us!

At two months, Harper likes:

- being held

- her binky (mostly)

- car seat

- laying on the changing table

- smiling!

- looking around

- being swaddled (kind of, she is able to bust out frequently, but it calms her down)

- eating

At two months, Harper does not like:

- baths

- being put down for too long

- being left alone for too long

- getting dressed

Love this beautiful gal!
