sienna june-- 2 months

two months








My girl is 2 months old! She has changed so much this month and I love how she is becoming more alert. She is still in size 1 diapers and wearing 0-3 month clothes. Her newborn clothes are officially too small.

Weight: 10lbs 12oz
Height: 23.5 inches
We had to follow up with an orthopedic pediatrician because Sienna's hip ultrasound came back with abnormalities on the right side. Turns out she had mild hip dysplasia in both hips caused from being breech. Her hips are underdeveloped and shallow. She is in hip braces for 7 weeks, 23 hours a day. She doesn't seem phased by them at all! We follow up in May to hopefully see great results.

LOVES
moving!!! family walks, her wubanub binky even if not in her mouth she likes it by her face, being swaddled, sleeping with her sound machine, smiling at mommy and daddy, her new swing. 

HATES
being overstimulated, she has cried a few times and we couldn't figure out why until we laid her down and she passed out. She likes to nap in her bassinet and needs that time apparently!


EAT
I am still exclusively pumping and she is bottle fed with breast milk. She takes 3-4 ounces depending on how long she slept before the feeding.  She needs a few burps each feeding. She gets gassy and needs gripe water every now and then. It soothes her right away.  She wants instant gratification and has a quick temper if the bottle isn't warmed up as fast as she likes it. 

SLEEP
Sienna is such a good little sleeper. This month she has gone 7 hours a few times and two 8 hour spans after being held all day! She typically eats every 3 to 4 hours, or even longer stretches at night. She is awake for a little bit and then back to bed. During the day she has about 30 minutes to an hour awake time after each bottle and then back to sleep. She is still sleeping in her rock and play bassinet with the snuggle nest inside it. She sleeps swaddled and with her sound machine on.
  She loves to be walked before bed and we lay her in her bassinet awake and she falls asleep. 

PLAY
She likes tummy time, but only for short amounts of time. She likes to sit in her bouncy chair and swing and is starting to look at that animals hanging from it. 

Sienna June
I have absolutely adored this month with you. The awake time, the smiles, sweet giggles, and alert eyes are making my days with you so much fun. I love seeing you grow and change, yet I want you to stay little forever. It broke my heart seeing you in your leg braces, but you handled it like a little stud. I am so proud of you already and know you're going to be a tough little girl. Seeing you smile when you see me and hear my voice melts my whole world, I am so lucky to be your mommy. I love you forever and always, no matter what.
