Two Months Old


On April 27th Daphne turned two months old. In the past month Daphne has:
-Learned how to blow bubbles, suck on her fist, and play with her tongue. I often find her licking her hand like a cat would lick her paws.
-Is learning how to hold toys and LOVES listening to music.
-She still moves around constantly! She especially enjoys kicking her feet and flinging her hands when she is undressed on her changing table.
-Solved the Houdini issue slightly by no longer allowing her to wear gowns to bed (now she can only pull her sleepers off her shoulders slightly) and using the swaddle wrap things (they remind me of straight jackets!) instead of receiving blankets.
-Attended her Uncle's Wedding and proceeded to sleep 8 straight hours that night after the long day!
-Survived having her daddy go out of town for the week when she was 6 weeks old and slept through the night for the first time (12 hours between feedings and for the most part she has slept through the night since then!!!!)
-Is now eating between 4 to 5 ounces of formula each feeding.
-She still has acid reflux. The meds and formula switches helped slightly but we are starting her on new meds again, propping her bed, and trying another formula to see if we can help her feel a little better.
-Smiled for the first time for Rueben the Monday before his wedding but refused to smile at anything but the ceiling and the wall after that until almost two weeks later (7 weeks old) when she smiled at mommy and daddy for the first time.
-Met her Grandpa Crandall when he came up from St. George for a visit
-Met her Great Grandparents (Black & Musker) for the first time
-Went to City Creek shopping and slept the whole time. She must love shopping for staying so well behaved:)
-Went on her first vacation to St. George on her 2 month birthday to celebrate her Great Grandma's 90th birthday. She is the 35th great grandchild and currently the youngest person in the Crandall family (and Great Grandma Crandall is the oldest).
-Is still as wiggly as ever, which we love:)

At Daphne's two month appointment (a few days after she turned two months) her stats were as follows:

10 lbs 6 oz (50th percentile)
21.5 inches long (50th percentile)

She still fits into all her newborn clothes and is quite the petite little girl.
*I am taking pictures of her each month next to her owl to compare her growth. To see her two week and one month photos click here
