Michaela Update

I CANNOT believe that Michaela Marie is already two months old!! She has been the most perfect baby...if I was guaranteed they would all be this easy I would for sure have a dozen! :) She has the sweetest and most easy going personality. She is smiling a lot now and really gives the big grins to her sister Angelica who loves to sing and talk to her. Her little face looks more and more like her papa to me and especially has his pointy eyebrows! She still has a lot of hair, although has been losing some here lately....however, it has already lightened up in color and appears to have some red highlights, so we shall see. She is my first baby to sleep on her back and because of that has a bit of a flat head on the back. More tummy time for her! She is starting to coo and make noises and loves to gurgle back at us. She LOVES her swing and for the first time we finally feel like we are getting our money's worth out of it!! She has a bit of baby acne and cradle cap going on but nothing major like her sisters had. I am so blessed because she sleeps so well. We have yet to ever "walk the halls" with her or have a crying spree. She sleeps 6 hours straight at night and looks like a little mummy. She likes to feel secure still....so to sleep she is swaddled in the miracle blanket (it is AWESOME, love it more than my swaddle me wraps), then put in her boppy in the bassinet and she is ready for a long snooze. I still have to get a picture of it, so funny! Michaela has NEVER cried during her baths, she loves them and we joke that she likes blow outs just because she gets to have a bath. She is a very strong little girl, with a tight hand grip and already holding her head high. We love her so very very much and it is amazing to see our little family growing and the relationships between the girls get stronger and stronger.

So.....yesterday Michaela had her 2 month check up and here are her stats:
-22.75 inches long (50% - same as Angel was, Emma was 23.25)
-Head 39 cm (50% - same as Angel was, Emma was 41)
-13 lbs 5 ozs!!!! (97%!! - yikes, likes her mama's milk....I was shocked...Angel was 10.11 and Emma was 11.8)

So we have a very solid baby on our hands!! Or she takes after her mama, short with some reserves!! Very healthy little girl!! We don't do any vaccinations at this point, so we got her vitamin drops and were good to go!! Here are some pics of her over this past month and some cute smiling videos (other already a bit outdated!) Enjoy.


(gotta love Emma pulling her hair)
