two months!

Camilla is two months old today!

This just in: all the people that warned me that time would fly by were correct. I am officially ready for her to pause and stop getting older. She knows how to smile, now we can live forever at this blissful age.

She's not nearly as impressed by her adorableness as I am!

 Name: Camilla Ann SAME LAST NAME AS US!!!!! And this will be the last time I have a category for name. It's not going to be changing.

Aliases: Millie, Mills, Millsie, Nugs, Snugs. I feel like we've really cut down on the number of nicknames this month and are zeroing in on the ones that really count. Or something.

You beckoned?

 Stats: No idea. At her 9/8 appointment she weighed 10 lb. 12.5 oz. Based on how heavy she feels now (we haven't been around a scale lately) (thank God) and how enthusiastically she eats, I'm guessing...13 pounds?? And she seems a lot longer...maybe 23 in? We'll find out 10/14! Update: Her appointment ended up getting moved to 10/20 and apparently I'm an amazing guesser because her weight at that appointment was 13 lb 9 oz (90%ile), length 23 in (55%ile).

She has a few Newborn sized things that still fit, but wears mostly 0-3 and 3-6 months. She graduated to a size 2 in disposable diapers. I pretty much cried a river when I came to that sad realization. She may as well have just moved away to college.

This is how I felt when I had to put a Size 2 on her.

 Habits: 
-drinks 28-30 oz. a day; 4.5-5.5 oz. bottles every 3-4 hours during the day
-sleeps a 6-7 hour stretch at night (with occasional shorter (5 hr) or longer (8+!!!! hr) sessions)
-bathes every other night

Plotting her world domination?

Likes: Food! Snuggling! Laying on our bed and staring out the window! Being outside! Her swaddles! Most music! The monkey that hangs over her changing table! Hanging out in the Ergo! 'Talking' to Mommy! Baths! Being dried off with the hair dryer (on low, of course)! Trying to drink water in the bathtub! Her pink paci!

(Sorry for the exclamation points...but she gets really excited about these things, so it seemed appropriate. And yet annoying.)

I love most things about life! YES!

Dislikes: The carseat. Getting out of the bath. Having clothes pulled over her head/arms. Un-passed gas and un-burped burps. Tummy time on the floor. Country music (please pray for her).

Undecided About: NPR- she likes when they play classical music, does NOT like when they just talk. Her activity mat- sometimes fun, sometimes torture? Her blue/green paci- sometimes it is exactly what she needs and totally hits the spot. Sometimes it highly offends her.

Special Skills: Being a Happy Baby, making dolphin sounds, immediately spitting up on any outfits Mommy was super excited about, making Mom and Dad work really hard for a big smile.

They are putty in my hands if they think I will show them this smile...

Does eyelash growth count as a skill? Because they grow like an inch every night. Soon she won't be able to hold her eyes open under their weight!

It was an incredible month. She is such a delightful baby- I spend every hour of the day with her and it isn't enough. Her life is an indescribable gift to us and her happy disposition and easygoing personality are just lovely icing on the cake. I feel infinitely grateful to call myself her mommy.
