#14- Two Months!

On November 2nd, wee Rosalie turned 2 months old. At this age, every week brings different changes and 'milestones' it seems, so 2 months is a pretty big deal! 
Rosie has gotten her nights and days figured out for the most part now. She has started going to bed earlier than midnight (what a relief!) and will wake up to eat every 3 hours or so, but sometimes will still go for a 4-5 hour stretch. She is quite the noisy little sleeper though, so she might be making a trip to her own crib sooner than Isaac did at 4 months.
She's starting to figure out her own sleep schedule during the day, often takes cat naps but will generally have 'sleepy time' in the morning, a big long one in the afternoon, and then one in the evening before going to bed between 8:30 and 9:30.
I don't remember all the tricks and techniques of helping her with a routine that I used with Isaac...so it's trial and error once again! Plus she is definitely her own person and not too much like Isaac was when he was a babe. 
Rosie is awake more and more now for longer stretches and loves watching us about our day. She always keeps a close eye on Isaac, whether because she finds him interesting to watch or she still has memories of the early days of her life and is taking precautions...:)
The two of them are getting along better and better now though and I am excited to see them growing up together and learning to get along and play. Boy, does Isaac need a playmate!
Rosie loves singing and watching hands moving and has recently discovered her own which she loves to suck on. She is a chatty little thing and quite vocal, though saves crying for darn good reasons, and even when she is crying it sometimes sounds like she's talking:) and of course she is smiling, but it's tricky to get her to!


She's a delightful gal and we are quite smitten with her:) She is now discharged from the midwives and at that last appointment was 11 lb.8oz and I can't remember the measurement right now, but doing great! Long like her brother!  I've added a few pictures that I just took in the last week or so below. 



2 months!


lots of kisses from Isaac:)
