Miss Stella is 2 months old!

Ok so I'm only about 3 or so weeks behind:)  But here's her two month update!!  Lots of things have been happening at the Davis house (more on that later) and Stella is growing so fast in the mix of all of our craziness ha!  Stella's 8 week birthday was marked by my returning to work boo:(

But on a happy note we made our first true road trip with Stella to Charleston, SC for our friends wedding weekend and celebrating Stella's big 2 MONTHS!!  Stella did fabulous in the car.  It took us a bit longer to get there, making extra long stops around her feeding times and only making ONE extra stop on the way there and on the way back for meltdowns!  I don't blame her for those..even I get a little cranky after being in the car for many hours:)  Stella experienced her first trip to the beach and her first dip in the pool.  She was not phased by either and was her usual content self!  She even spent some time with Granmoma and Grandaddy (my parents) on her bday as they babysat her while Adam and I attended the wedding.

My first pool experience:)

The second month of Stella's life has brought me more joy than ever!  Each day she amazes me more and more.  She's started to be less interested in eating in the early morning and more interested in smiling and cooing at me.  I should be a bit frustrated that it takes extra long for her to eat during this time, but I can't help but to soak in all the love she's sharing with me...it's the cutest thing ever!  She has started to show a bit more personality; although for the most part she continues to be quite serious and content.  She smiled for the first time on April 29th and took her first bottle of pumped breast milk on April 30th.  Adam started feeding her one bottle a day so that she gets used to bottles by time for daycare and for extra bonding:)  She's done exceptionally well transitioning!

2 MONTH STATS

• Height 22" (25th percentile)...she's petite!
• Weight 11 lbs 5.5 oz (25-50th percentile) 
• Head 15 3/4 cm  (90th percentile)...hope that means she's smart and a little thankful for c-section!
• Clothes: 0-3 months
• Diapers; Size 1  We are definitely a fan of Huggies-either little snugglers or pure & natural
• Eating: She eats about 3oz every 3 hours (still exclusively mommy's milk)
• Sleep: We get about a 4 hour stretch at night, she eats then goes back to sleep for another 3 hrs.  Still sleeping in PNP next to our bed.  Continues to be swaddled
• Nicknames: Wow do we have a lot of nicknames!!  My new favorite is Lil' Adam (bc she looks so much like her daddy).  Others include Precious, Sweet Pea, BabyCakes, Pip Squeak, StellaBug, Little Missy, Chunky Monkey



So hard to get a non blurry pic with a squirmer!



Oh how she loves that tongue!!
