Aria is two months old today!!

I can't believe our little girl is two months old today! 



Baby stats

Sleep: unfortunately this hasn't changed much...She has had a few nights where she has slept longer but usually doesn't go much more than three hours at night.  Neil watches her 8-11/12 and from there she wakes up around 3am and 6 for feeds. She is starting to fall asleep a little bit earlier so I'm hoping her cycle will change soon!

Feed: still feeds every 2/3hours

Daily Routine: still don't have much of a set routine. She seems to have longer naps earlier in the day so I'll usually tidy up and run errands or play with Dax if he's at home. When she's awake she will kick on her playmat or we will do a photo shoot. Lunch time then put Dax down for a nap and sometimes she naps at same time. Wohoo! The afternoons are usually more challenging as we countdown until dad gets home at 5. This week we have started going for walks in the afternoon. Aria loves it! She is usually fussy after 7 until about 10 but it doesn't seem to be as.bad. We still don't have a great bedtime routine since Neil takes her while I nap. She is falling asleep earlier though so hopefully in the next month I'll be able to start a good routine for her. 

Weight: 10lb 14.5oz

Length: 22in - ish? Hard to measure her lol

Diaper size: size 1! I held onto the newborn diapers to use them up but finally caved as too many blow outs lol. Less diaper changes at night with size 1s as well. 

Clothing size: 0-3!! Yay! We switched her at six weeks. Most aren't that big on her so this might be a quick transition. We will see ;) her one month sleepers barely fit now.. She's getting longer!

Hair Color: medium brown (seems to be a bit lighter than when she was born)

Eye Color: looks like they will be dark brown 

Baby favs: play mat, music/nursery rhymes, her brother, looking around on walks, she likes baths now :) 

Baby not so favs: wiping her face, being hangry, soother falling out, car seat when car stops moving 

Challenges: left boob isn't as much of an issue these days! Yay! 
- my back has been terrible the past month :( she wants to be held/rocked but it kills my back. Hopefully this will get better soon 
- days with both her and Dax. They are getting better but by the end of the week we are all tired ;) 
- pumping at night - just annoying as I'm tired but once she starts sleeping longer I won't do as often as I'm mostly pumping for Neil's night feed 

Funniest moment: for me it was pumping without having the bottle connected lol 

Milestones:
- smiling more
- more cooing sounds 
- can almost hold her head up completely now 


Firsts:
- first smile on camera 

Events in the past month:
- Daxs birthday 
- Mother's Day 

Looking forward to:
- summer!! Although the weather feels like summer already we are looking forward to Neil being off work 

Jean day!
