Makenzie at Two Months

It's official.  Newborn status has worn off and now Makenzie carries the title of "grown-up baby."  Whatever her title, she is my little doll. (Thanks Aunt Charisse for the bow!)

 

What Makenzie is up to these days:

• First and foremost, she slept through the night this month.  In fact, she usually sleeps 6-7 hour stretches every night now.  It is glorious!
• She burps a lot better, which means less spit-up.
• She smiles every day, especially when you play with her.
• She loves her binkie and it always calms her down.
• Sleep comes best when she's swaddled in her special swaddle blanket.
• She's got a great "one eyebrow up, one eyebrow down" face.
• She is getting quite roly poly.
• She's discovered her hands and fingers, and likes to suck on them.

Did you notice an extra little person in those pictures?  Every time I pull out the camera, Raquel thinks we're having a family photo shoot.

What Makenzie has been like this month:

• Sleeps most of the time, especially in human arms
• Eats a little too well - she eats so fast, she gets too much and then spits it all up
• Not a "burpie" baby
• Loves bathtime and rarely cries
• She likes the vibrator setting on her swing
• Has begun to smile at Daddy
• Wakes 2-3 times a night
