{Emma} Two Months

A little bit about you this month...

• You are a total snuggle-bug, and love to be held all day long.

• You started cooing and squealing.

• Huge grins for your sister! You love being called "Emi Tako."

• You caught your first cold.

• You absolutely love to stand.

• You don't spit up at all, but you explosively vomit - usually on Mom, then you smile and go to sleep on me so I can't shower!

• You are queen of the hiccups and get them multiple times a day. They really make you mad.

• You are tracking people and things, and seem to really enjoy your blue ball rattle.

• You cat nap during the day, usually for about 30 minutes - no more than an hour - and usually in the Ergo, but you often sleep one long stretch at night: 8-9pm until at least 2:30am!

• You giggle and smile in your sleep.

• You have a bit of an evening witching hour. We are gradually figuring it out, but you seem to want to snuggle or nurse on the move starting between 6 and 7pm until you finally vomit or fall asleep around  8-9pm. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later. You aren't in meltdown mode, but are very fussy unless we are walking, bouncing, or rocking while standing. It's Mom or nothing.

• You love bath time but hate getting out.

• You hate being hot in your carseat.

• You love, love, love being worn in any manner - Ergo, wrap or sling (thank goodness!)

• You love being part of the family at dinner and social times, and do not like being ignored.
