2 months old



Now that Kate is almost 3 months old I figure I should get around to posting a 2 month update. 
At 2 months Kate weighs in at a whopping 7lbs1oz. She is in newborn diapers still and newborn clothes. She can smile and can make some coo sounds but doesnt do it a lot. She tracks very well with her eyes and is constantly following me or the kids around the room. She still sleeps in our bed with us and gets up 2-3 times a night to eat. She is a tougher baby and is most content when she is held closely by mommy. She hates her car seat. She loves to be swaddled tightly and gets her best sleep that way. She is nursing about every 2 hours and I dont try to hold her off as I am wanting her to gain a lot of weight. Kinsey and Logan seem to be able to illicit the most smiles out of her. She definitely prefers me over Josh. (this is new because both of the other kids preferred him). She seems cognitively to be on track. Physically, her head control is behind. She can old it upright but not for long. She hates tummy time. While flat on her tummy she can turn her head from one side to the other but it is a real struggle for her. She cannot lift it upright while flat on her tummy. We have been seeing a physical therapist who has recommended some exercises for her. Hopefully with time that will help. She is still on the antiviral medication and doing well with it. 
She is such a blessing to us and we cant imagine life without her.!
