Two Months Old!!!

November has been a busy month. I don't know what it is exactly that we are busy doing, but it seems like it's non-stop around here. Rylee May is now 2 months old!!! It seems like she has been in our lives for so much longer than that. We are all completely adjusted to one another, have our little system figured out and we are constantly amazed by the changes in our little girl. She has become a lot more active, she is all smiles, giggles and has started "talking" to us--it's just so stinkin cute!


One thing we have been super surprised about is the length of time Rylee sleeps at night. Most nights she will go 7 hour stretches. It's fab-ulous! Our bedtime routine consists of a bath, eat, rock and pass out. If all of this is done by 9/10 we consider ourselves oober lucky! Most nights Rylee will wake up sometime between 2 and 4am, she will eat and usually go right back to sleep and sleep until about 7 or 8. It has been so nice and consistent (hope it stays that way) I thing we got super lucky in the sleep department.

Little miss is growing like crazy! We have weighed and measured her at home and she's about 11+ pounds and 23 inches long. She has her 2-month check up this week so we will see what Dr. Saba confirms. She's eating a ton (4-5 oz at a time), sometimes it seems like literally all she does is eat and sleep all day long. Her daddy has a little workout routine that he does with her and her legs and neck are getting really strong. Her head control is awesome, and gets better every day; I need to go get her a Bumbo chair, I think she would really like it. We also have a jumper that we want to hang, but she's not quite ready for it...yet.

Rylee still LOVES bath time! Giving her a bath is one of the joys of my day. She is so happy when she's in the water. She is always so mad when we take her out (it might be because of the cold as well) I think if we let her she would stay in the water for hours. I have takes a couple baths with her is the big tub and she is in heaven in there. She completely relaxes and just floats there. I love it!

The other night I was giving her a bath; at the end we rinse her off in the "shower" (she loves the water running over her head) and she started licking the water--HILARIOUS!

Yesterday I realized that my 12 weeks of maternity leave are up. However, my amazing husband hasn't told me I have to go back to work yet :) Honestly though, there is NO way I could just drop my daughter off with some one else right now. I had a hard enough time going out to lunch and leaving her with her grandma! haha So we will see how long we can make things work. How do you working moms do it!?!

I love you more and more every day Rylee May! You continue to amaze me with your beautiful self!
