Mackenzie - 2 months

Wow can't believe we are past the two month mark already!! Time is going by so quickly. We went to the doc last Monday (she was 9 wks) for her 2 month check up and shots. We have some concerns that she may have a lazy eye - Tricia has one too but not this bad - but other than that she is doing great! 11 lbs 4 oz and 22 in long. I can't remember her head circumference but I think either last time or this time they measured wrong because that went almost straight up on the chart that he showed me! She got one oral shot and 3 shots in her little thighs, I cried a bit but she got over it quickly. She was really fussy the next few days though and slept a lot. Some things to remember:

- This past week or so you have started to smile a lot
- You like to be held a lot which is way different then your sister
- I am still doing some breast milk and some formula. This may be ending soon though because being back to work, caring for a toddler and newborn by myself most nights and on the weekends a lot, and everything else I'm quickly getting overwhelmed and finding time passes so quickly I don't get a chance to pump.
- You are still sleeping in your rock n play by our bed. May attempt to move you to your crib at 3 months though. I'm thinking you may end up being a stomach sleeper.
- Your sister adores you :) I know this may not always be the case
- You are eating 4-5 oz at a time between 3-4 hours between your feedings.
- You have a pretty bad bewitching time between 6-8 at night where if you aren't eating you aren't really happy but sometimes you don't want the bottle so you are just unhappy and crying.
- You love to lay on my chest and sleep and sometimes I just let you.
