Happy Two Month Birthday

Note to future self: do not let your small child take a nap at 7pm. Another note to self: do not wake your small child up at 8:30pm to have a bottle. She will immediately fall asleep and wake up for the day 4am. By 6am, she will be a hot mess because she is tired.

Aside from that, the peanut is growing like a weed (yes, I know, another cliche) and developing quite the personality! Unfortunately, she has her mother's temper.

I am stretching out her feeding times from 2 hours to 2.5 or 3 hours. Neither of us is happy about this but I'm trying my best to put her on a schedule. A happy baby equals a happy house. And not that she isn't happy most of the time, but at least her fussy times will be more predictable when she eats at regular times and naps at regular times.

Next week is my last week at home and while I'm excited to go back to work, I'm nervous for her to go to daycare for the first time. She is starting to recognize where she is and who around her...or more so, who is NOT around her, ie mom.

We took her to the State Fair on Monday and of course she fell asleep in the stroller. When she woke up, it was LOUD and there were so many new sights and she couldn't exactly see us through the mosquito netting and she freaked out. I'm worried this is going to happen. But, I remind myself, plenty of kids go to daycare and adjust.

Happy Two Month Birthday A!
