Taelyn is now two months old, and it's amazing how much she has changed from the first month. The obvious changes are physical - her face has developed much more, and her body has filled out quite a bit. After her 2-month check-up, Taelyn now weighs 11.75 lbs. and is 22 inches long. Her length is average for her age, but her weight is nearing the 75th percentile. What has caught me by surprise most, however, is her recent emotional needs. She no longer sleeps 21 hours a day while only crying when she is hungry. Now she is awake much more, and we have had to work hard to make sure that happens mostly during the day time. There have been a few rough nights where Taelyn just doesn't want to go back to sleep at 3am while she has also made it six whole hours of deep sleep during the night!
During the day, Taelyn is also pretty active. After sleeping and eating, it's play time where we sing songs, dance, read books (especially the gorilla book with daddy), play with colorful toy bugs, go to the playground, and jump in the sand. She is quite busy these days, and she certainly enjoys telling people all about it. So far, she mostly speaks vowel sounds, but there are a few times where she will try out the occasional consonant. Just the other day, it sounded like she said "okay."
Babies change so quickly, and I can only imagine how different she will be in a month from now. I will be sure to capture those new moments as they come!
