Eliana {Two} Months

Weight: We weighed her and got about 13 lbs.. but apparently that wasn't accurate.

Length: ???

Likes: Piano Toy, Being Swaddled, Black and White Pictures, Trice's Voice, Having her butt patted, Being naked,  Ceiling fans, Mirrors (chatting with the cute baby she sees), Zerberts

Dislikes: Car Seat, Any time the car stops moving, 9pm, Daddy trying to put her to sleep

Exciting Events: Met lots of relatives, Dedication at church, First trip to the zoo, First trip to Corning

Milestones: Smiling, bats at objects, coos and squeals, trying very hard to roll over, gripping objects

Eating Patterns: Eats every 2 hours during the day

Sleeping: Sleeps like a champ - can't be our child. Sleeps 9-4:30 or 10-5 and then back to sleep until around 7:30. Takes a  morning nap, long afternoon nap, and quick evening nap.

Trice's Thoughts: He LOVES Eliana. He's very protective -- always worried we are going to leave her somewhere. He nurses his baby doll and takes care of it and imitates everything I do with Eliana. He's still jealous when mommy pays attention to her, but he's starting to enjoy "playing" with her, too.

Oh sweet girl - you bring so much joy to this mama's heart.

I packed much differently this time than last time .. it helped to know what we used last time and what we didn't. I also went off the recommendations from our Bradley instructor.
