2 months old!

Yesterday Abigail turned 2 months old! I can't believe how fast these last 2 months have gone, and especially the last one since she's been home! I thought I'd update you all on her goings on.

She learned how to roll over from her tummy to her back. As I'm writing this I can't remember if I wrote about it in the last post or not, but I'm going to include the video as proof! I thought that she had lost the ability (because of her ever increasing chubbiness) or had forgotten how, but she did it again yesterday.


She's also started Army crawl-scooting. It's the best way I can describe it. It's not exactly like an Army crawl, but she's getting around. Here's here before and after pictures, and I swear I did not move her!

Before: the way I set her down

After: the way she ended up

We went to the Dr.'s on Wednesday and had her 2 month check-up. She'd been off the oxygen for a week, and when they checked her again, she was perfect! No more oxygen!!! I'll be glad to get all the tanks out of the house. She's growing well and is in the 3rd %ile for weight, the 5th %ile for height, and the 0 %ile for head circumference. I had to laugh when I saw these because it's the charts for a 2 month old born at ~40 weeks. On the charts for preemie's she's doing great and is in the 50-75th %ile in all categories. She's now above 8 pounds and gaining it all in her thighs and cheeks, and she's 21 inches long.

The doctor gave me the go ahead to start letting her sleep longer during the night, and I love it! The first couple nights she did great and slept about 6 hours, but she's also learning how to wake up better and so it's looking like the longer sleeping might not be long lasting, at least for a while. We also got a prescription for her acid reflux, and she is doing soooo much better. Less fussy, sleeps better, and eating better. After the first day of having her medicine, she started eating almost an ounce more than she was before, which leads me to believe the acid reflux was keeping her from eating as much as she could/should have.

She also got her shots, which made for a fuuuussy baby. I know I have it easy when it comes to her, she's usually pretty calm, easy to console, and doesn't cry much, but that day she cried and cried and no amount of consoling helped. Needless to say, we do not like shots.

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving at Sean's parents and Abby got to meet her uncle Owen and friend uncle Steven. She also got to wear her cute Turkey onesie that Brenna made.

I like this one because it's so cute when she yawns! Also one of the turkey's pupils fell off. I tried to fix it with super glue, but all the glue ended up on my fingers and none on the eye. Hence, the one pupiled turkey.

The cute tail feathers!!

Anddd she's awake!
