Like a Champ

"She's gaining weight like a champ" the Pediatrician said at Leyna's 2 month appointment - at 11lbs 2 oz, she is indeed! She's outgrown her newborn outfits (I admit I need to stop trying to fit her in my favorite newborn shirts since they just barely cover her belly!)..and she's just about skipping over the 0-3 month ones. Yes, I tried putting her into a 0-3 month sized onesie but nope, the snaps at the bottom barely meet since she's pretty tall. She's grown 2.5 inches since her 2 week appointment, making her 22.5 inches now. No kidding, babies do grow so fast!
Leyna also received her first series of shots as you can see by all the band aids. Not fun, I hate shots too. Of course our champ cried a whole minute or so, and once I held her, she was back to normal, resting her chubby cheek on my arm and ready to go back to sleep. We're lucky she's not much of a crier. The most fussing we hear is when we're driving in the car and I'm unable to feed her until we get home. Even then, she only cries for 5-10 minutes or so, graciously gives us a break of silence, and starts up again once realizing we're still not yet home and she's still hungry.

What's also great is she's beginning to sleep longer blocks at night (once she even reached a whole 8 hrs!)...as well as longer blocks of being awake during the day. It's nice to see her explore everything, and it's more time to enjoy her cooing conversations and smiles!
