2 amazing months!!

Autumn is officially two months old today!! It's hard to believe two months have passed already...time certainly does fly when you're having fun!! Autumn is such a blessing and it's such a joy to watch her grow and learn new things every day. Like just now...I'm sitting outside her room after putting her down in her crib for her first nap in the "big girl bed"...up until now she's been sleeping and napping in the bassinet in our room. I've been considering moving her up to her crib for awhile, but kept putting it off because I just love having her down close to us (we have a 1 and 1/2 story house...so our room is on the first floor and her nursery is on the second. But as she is quickly out growing the bassinet it is time to start transitioning her to her crib. And so far so good. Maybe we'll start putting her to bed up here too...she's been sleeping about 8-9 hours a night so coming up here to do her 4:30 or 5 AM feeding would be an easy switch. I'll just miss having her right next to me as we sleep :o( Since I've last updated you she's grown 2 pounds and was 11 pounds 9 ounces at her two month appointment!! She's great at lifting her head and looking around and can even support her own weight on her legs when we pull her up!! Jacob is convinced she's going to be walking way early...we will have to wait and see though.


Her eyes have started to turn a lighter shade of blue that look gorgeous with her long eye lashes. I'm really hoping this means that she's going to have her dad's pretty blue eyes!!



Autumn is such a happy baby...give her a pacifier and a pair of arms to cuddle in to and she is just as happy as can be! I don't think we could have asked for an easier little girl to help ease us into the role of parenting!! We are so very lucky! She's learned to laugh and coo and even sing along with mommy occasionally...there's nothing like it in the world!! It definitely makes everything we went through to get here so worthwhile!!




The feeding issue never really improved...she never was quite able to latch properly so we've basically decided to just pump and bottle feed. It's not ideal, but thankfully we're doing well with it...and pumping so much extra we even invested in a deep freeze. My goal is to pump until atleast six months and hopefully have another three months frozen to give her.

We also had an issue with our daycare...they didn't hold a spot for Autumn and when I went back to register her they were full!! I was really upset, but it has worked out for the best. We found another day care close by that I actually think I like better...so God was looking out for us once again.

I'll try and keep the blog updated more frequently with how she's doing, but no promises. We're trying to get in to more of a routine, but she still pretty much drives our schedule everday so getting online for any amount of time becomes a bit of a challenge. I'll do my best though :o)
