At 2 months, Presley is getting more interactive. She is smiling and cooing at us and is starting to laugh...it's kind of a happy grunt/half giggle right now. She's getting stronger neck muscles and is hating tummy time a little bit less than before. She loves to sit or stand on our laps and face out, taking in the sights.
Her favorite activities are napping in her swing, going for drives, being snuggled and having warm baths. She really seems to enjoy new places as she almost instantly wakes up and demands out of her car seat. No matter how tired she is, she doesn't fuss at all...she just wants to be part of the action! She also loves starring at our faces and mimicking us.
Presley eats every 3 hours pretty much like clockwork. Since she's breastfed, I'm not positive how much she's eating but the 1 bottle of breastmilk she gets once a week (to make sure she'll take a bottle) is usually 4 ounces at the moment.
Sleep...what everyone wants to know! Even perfect strangers have no qualms in inquiring about this. Well, generally, it's great. She is able to put herself to sleep (usually) with no intervention from us and sleeps the nights in her crib. Naps are still in her swing but I hope to change that in the next couple of weeks. She is sleeping about 11 hours a night with 1 wakeup to eat after 6-8 hours. She is napping fairly well too although being in her swing in the midst of the daily action is proving to be pretty distracting (hence why I'm going to move her to the crib). She usually has several shorter naps a day and 1 really decent 3 hour nap when Samara naps.
At Presley's 2 month vaccinations, she measured 22 inches (50th percentile) and weighed around 11 pounds (50th percentile). I say around 11 pounds because the nurse didn't bother having me undress her before weighing her...duuhhh...so she weighed 11lbs 5oz with all her clothes and a wet diaper on. She's got some good chubby cheeks but is pretty lean everywhere else. She wears mostly 0-3 month clothing with a few items still newborn sized. She is still in size 1 diapers.
Things I never want to forget:
- how happy she is when I go and get her in the morning. Best feeling to see someone SO excited to see you!
- how she gazes up at me for her entire bath...completely mesmerized (both of us!).

Happy 2 months Presley.I was amazed a month ago how you slept through the action.
Happy 2 months, Baby P, you are just too cute!
I forgot to do a "1 month" picture with Hadley. I took a picture of her on the day but didn't post the sign beside her.. I will make sure I do that from now on because I think it's a great idea.
I can't believe how fast they're growing. Good luck at her shots tomorrow, let me know how it goes.. H's are on Thursday and I'm already stressing - I made my mom take the day off to accompany me and wipe MY tears. LOL
What a happy sounding little lady! I love your daughter's names, by the way.
Aww, Happy 2 Months little P!
Oh, and (of course) P is such a great sleeper (no help going to bed on her own and sleeping 6-8 hours is amazing for her age) and than we had the worst night with AJ ever! I'm hoping it was a growth spurt not Murphy's Law!! I'm never going to act like the expert again!!
Good luck with the shots! We just had the four month shots today. Hopefully your clinic will have two nurses so they can tag-team. That's how they've done with Nyana... all needles at the same time, to ease up on the torture. Good luck!
LOVE this! It's amazing to see how quickly she is growing! What a beautiful little girl. :o)
WOW!! 6-8 hours at night!!! I hope my little one does this when she comes along at that age.
I can't believe it has already been 2 months it seems like yesturday when I read about your birth story. WOW
