Mary's 2-Month Update

Mary had her 2-month wellness visit about a week and a half early on October 28th.  I got a few recommendations for pediatricians from my new MOPS group, and I just picked the one closest to our house.  When we showed up I was a little bit thrown off by the office, because it was very small town looking :).  It was just an office made out of an old house.  

You can see what wonderful 'helpers' I had at the doctor visit…haha.  Due to the chaos Jack and Owen created in the appointment I didn't get a picture of Mary during her visit, but the picture above is her right before we left the house.

2-Month Stats:

Weight- 10 lbs., 3 oz. (45th percentile)

Height- 22 inches (50th percentile)

I don't think she was feeling very well after her shots, because she spent most of the afternoon crying.  This is how I got a few things done and dinner made that night:

Here is her picture on her actual 2-month birthday (November 5th) coincidentally wearing the same onesie as from her doctor appointment:

It was hard to narrow down recent pictures of her, because she's just so adorable!  Girl clothes are definitely really fun, so I included pictures in some of her cute little outfits.

As of 2-months:

• Mary usually goes to bed for the night at 10 pm.  Her first wake-up is usually between 3:45 and 6 am. I would say she most often wakes up between 4-5am.  After that initial streak, she'll sleep another 4-5 hours.
• She still sleeps the majority of the day, but a more predictable pattern is starting to develop.
• She's a great eater, and she follows a very predictable and manageable nursing schedule during the day.
• She holds her head up pretty well for short periods of time when you hold her over your shoulder.
• She doesn't get very much time on her play mat since her brothers cannot leave her alone on it.  They always lay next to her, swat at the toys, and are kind of dangerous jumping around her.
• She smiles at Jack sometimes when he tries to entertain her, and she clenches her fists and always looks a little nervous when Owen gets close since he's not the greatest at being gentle.  His intentions are good, but he's just a bit rough still.
• She's started being much more interested in watching what Jack and Owen are doing during the times she is awake.
• When she's awake during the day she pretty much demands being held on your lap facing you while you talk to her.  She loves the undivided attention during the boys' naps and after they go to bed.

Finally, the boys got colds about a week ago, and Mary has had a touch of it as well.  Hers has been much less severe than theirs, but she looked a little miserable with a runny nose the other day:

She was just one of the cutest sick people I'd ever seen :).
