Big girl

Congratulations Gracie, you turned 2 months old! And to celebrate your first 2 months of life, mom is going to take you to a cold doctor's office, take off your adorable clothes, make you lay on a cold metal scale with a thin piece of paper covering it, and then make you drink something weird and let a strange lady stick 3 sharp needles into your legs. Do you believe me now that I love you?


Stats: 9 lbs 1 oz - 24th percentile
19 inches - 50th percentile


P.S. Gracie, I want you to know that the shots were for your own good, to prevent you from getting horrible illness that will make you cry much longer than the few minutes you screamed about the sharp needles. You were so brave after the initial shock of pain. And, by the way, you liked the weird drink thing. Then later that night, you got baby tylenol, and you loved it so much you smiled after a long sad day.
You're our precious angel.

poop

Gracie didn't poop for over 12 hours. That's a first for her.
I pride myself in having a baby who has a healthy digestive system, so no poop all night and all morning got me a little worried. Then she regulated around hour 16 and I was very happy to see that sticky yellow mustard poop coat her clothe diaper, and then again and again every 2 hours afterward. Maybe I should give it 24 hours before I bother worrying the next time.

For daddy!

Skylar, Gracie misses you so she wanted to make a few videos for you, but then she got camera shy and forgot what she wanted to say.

But, she told me beforehand, and she just wants you to know she loves you.

Accomplishments!

Gracie slept all night! It was lovely.
Of course, on normal nights she's not bad, she sleeps 4-5 hours, I change her diaper, feed her, and she goes back to sleep. So I usually only wake up once anyway. But it was really nice to sleep the whole night.
Also, I didn't even have to put her to sleep, I just laid her in her bed after she ate and she quietly babbled herself to sleep. I love my little girl. She's so awesome.

Also, Gracie peed in the potty! haha
I bought a little potty for Gracie yesterday, because, why not? She pees or poops on me probably 50% of the time that I change her, so I decided that I'm going to start putting her on her potty every time I change her diaper so that she'll get used to it and the idea is that when she is ready to be potty trained she'll already be used to it.

I love my Gracie girl.
