Month 2

Baby Stella,

I can't believe that within the week you will be 2 months old! Yay to you and Yay to Daddy and I for coming up with every trick and trade to get past your colic phase. It's been a long month with a lot of tears, from you and me. At least Daddy hasn't cried.

We found out that you have acid reflux this month. :( I have desperately searched for a way to make you better. With a new medicine and a few adjustments, things are looking up. Mama spent a ton of time on google this month, more time in the pharmacy aisle at Target, and a little more expensive time on Amazon ordering anything I could to make you feel better.

One day I purchased a wubbanub from the Funky Monkey and a Mamaroo from Amazon. I said this exact sentence to your Nana and she thought I was speaking a different language. But hey, you love your wubbanub and I think you are growing pretty fond of your Mamaroo as well. You've already taken 2 naps in it today. AMEN!

A little about you this month...

You fight sleep like nobody's business. I told Nana that you would stay awake all day if you could. You are stubborn like your Daddy for sure. You are holding your head up so well now. You are starting to think about rolling over when we lay you on your back. You are TEETHING! This one still shocks me, you are only 8 weeks old. Quit growing so fast. You HATE to burp. You scream anytime we take your bottle away and put you on our shoulder. We've learned to trick you a little by slipping your paci in. You went for your first ride in your big girl jogging stroller with Mommy the other day. You weren't super thrilled but I think it was because you were getting hungry. All that walking has given you quite the appetite.

Some of the things your Daddy and I have tried during your colic times have been quite humorous. We have taken you on walks at night, car rides, and put you in your carseat on the dryer. We have to have the vacuum running almost constantly. Thankfully, I purchased a white noise cd that allows my dyson to take a break every now and then. However, you are pretty smart and sometimes you notice the difference.

All of the crazy things Daddy and I do are completely worth it to see your sweet little smile. Month 2 wasn't a breeze but we made it!!!

 

Love, 

Momma
