I'm a tad late posting this seeing as Emma Claire is two and a half months old now! The past two months have been amazing, better than I ever thought they would be.
Month two was challenging yet incredibly rewarding. This month we discovered that Emma Claire has a dairy protein sensitivity...aka no more ice cream for this Mama ;-) She is literally like a different baby. Before I cut out dairy she was fussy and cried a LOT but now she's smiley ALL the time and rarely cries. Her little poops have also changed from lime green back to yellow-ish. Gross I know...but you didn't have to change the diapers! ha!
Breastfeeding also became natural and easy this month, FINALLY! I literally almost gave up, in fact I had decided that I was going to stop and exclusively bottle-fed for one day. The following morning she was so upset and I realized that I WANTED to BF...which had not been the case for the past 6 weeks or so. Finally wanting to breastfeed and not feeling like I HAD to was refreshing. It was then that it just seemed to click and I was so much happier.
She had her two month well baby check and is doing wonderful! She took the shots like a pro. Her "shots cry" was no worse than when she gets really upset with me. Which means one of two things...sometimes she is so angry with me it's like she's getting poked with a needle, OR the shots weren't that bad ;-) haha I'd like to think it's the latter of the two.
She's growing SO quickly, I just can't believe it!
My little lady is TEN pounds already!!!
Our pediatrician couldn't believe how big she had gotten. The last time we went she was out of the office so she hadn't seen her in a while and she was shocked! I'm just having so much fun with her! I love that I am able to stay home with her. I can't wait to see what next month will bring!

wow! glad the change worked for you. that's great. Her mood before the switch sounds the same as G's before we switched her from Similac Sensitve and breast milk to only Similac Sensitive (formula for lactose sensitivity). It kills me to think she may have been in pain that whole time and I had no clue...you're smart!
Happy 2 months Emma Claire!
She has gotten so big. Glad the change has made her a happy girl. She is adorable
She is precious! I love her little onesie!
It is such a blessing that you get to spend your days with her soaking up every minute of her precious little face! Happy two month, Emma Claire!
