Maddie Kate is 2 Months Old!

Okay, technically she's 10.5 weeks...but we've been a smidgen busy around here...and you know what they say about the second kid, right?  Yep, it's true.  Sorry MK.

Miss MK had her 2 month checkup on Tuesday.  She's doing great!!  She's developing right on schedule and already growing up so fast!  Here are her stats:

11 pounds 11 ounces (62%)
23 1/4 inches long (73%)
15cm head circumference (22%)
0-3 month clothes - but is starting to get a little long for some of these!
Size 1 diaper




Maddie is such a sweet baby.  She rarely fusses - but if she's hungry and you're not quick enough with the bottle LOOK OUT!  She's starting to show us a little bit of what we suspect will be a red headed temper.  When the girl is hungry she wants to eat...now!  She eats 3-4 ounces of formula with 2 tablespoons of cereal about every 3-4 hours during the day.  The longest she's slept at night is around 6 hours.  We are still getting up between 1-3am each night to feed her.  We aren't on a really strict daily schedule...we just kick of the feeding schedule when she wakes up in the morning.  She sleeps a lot during the day but is really starting to stay awake for longer stretches.  She's a talker...as if she had a choice, right?  She coos and gurgles and smiles and laughs and its warms my soul.  She is so strong and really seems to like tummy time!  She can also sit in her bumbo for short period of times.  Our girl is such a blessing and we love her so much!!  Even her big brother seems to like her okay for now...we'll see how that changes when she becomes mobile, has an opinion and wants to play with his toys.
