Kaelia has also been much more alert and awake this month. She likes to be around her family and just watch us interact with her and with each other. She had her first smile this month as I talked to her and asked her to give a big smile for mommy. It is a beautiful, big grin! And she started making cooing sounds this past which she usually does along with a smile. Kaelia also has some stare downs with her sister; they are both quite curious about each other. Kaelia is nursing every 3-4 hours now with one longer stretch at night. She will sleep about 7 hours at night before her first feeding (sometimes more, sometimes less), and then sleeps another 3 hours before she is hungry again and awake for the morning.
I just took Kaelia to her first doctor’s appointment in South Africa for her 2 month checkup. She now weighs 11.7 lbs, is 22.8 inches long, and has a head circumference of 15 inches.
