New babies and their funny faces are so much fun to observe. It is so funny because they don't have control and their eyes, mouth and hands just do whatever, whenever. We have our cameras out capturing as much as we can, so enjoy the close ups!
And it's always fun to have a mini photo shoot when she's looking so darling.
All of these outfits are newborn size and I had to squeeze her into them so she could wear them at least once! When they're so new and so tiny it seems like they will fit into that size forever and then all they sudden their clothes are bursting at the seams! We have already packed all her newborn clothes away and are working our way through 3-6 month sizes!
You would think by all the pictures I have of her sleeping that she was doing a lot of it, but that is not necessarily the case. I think I snap the sleeping pics because it is kind of rare.
Both of these carriers have been life savers when I just NEED to get something done and she does not want to sleep. As you can see, it's magic.
So she's not particularly great at day or night sleeping. I am a Baby Wise believer because it worked miracles with Wes, but he was older and every baby is different. When she isn't following the "schedule" I can get a little antsy about it. I try to tell myself that she is doing great and it's ok, but when I can't walk away from her and she won't nap well in her crib, I can get frustrated about it. I have had to tell myself A LOT that this doesn't last forever...and you know what?! It doesn't! She has only been on earth for TWO MONTHS! She is still learning how to just be alive! Thad slept through the night at six weeks just because (probably because Heavenly Father knew I might not have any more kids) and Wes slept a lot more in the day, so the night wasn't as big of an issue, but she has definitely given me a run for my money because some days are good, some are bad and some are in between. She is still waking up once or twice a night, but we are working hard to get her to sleep until 7am after her middle of the night feeding. It's not going great, but she will get there!
Things this two month old loves:
-Her Brothers
-Her Daddy
This girl's eyes light up when her daddy talks to her, and his do the same! They are two peas in a pod and it makes my heart melt.
-Tummy Time

...If I remember to do it! I am pretty freaky about her getting a flat head, so I carry her around a lot, but this is for sure the best thing to avoid that. She is liking it a little less the older she gets, but she will give me a good ten minutes like this and that is pretty impressive compared to my boys!
-The Bath
She would stay in a warm bath all morning if I would let her!
(Getting dressed and lotion on is a totally different story!)
-Being Swaddled
-Just Being Plain Cute
Baby smiles make the world go 'round!
And this profile!! Can you even take it?! I love that perfect little nose so much--those lashes, that double chin. It is all so yummy!
Stats:
11 lbs 14 oz - 60th Percentile
23 inches - 69th Percentile
15.25 inches head circumference - 60th Percentile
I honestly thought she would weigh more when we went to her appointment because this girl loves to eat, but weighing in at almost 12 lbs is pretty much perfect...just because she's my baby girl.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Newborns are hard.
But they are definitely not hard to love. We love every inch of this girl and are so grateful for these two months we have had with her. I'm so happy we get many more!

She's a doll, shell. Before sierra was born a lot of people told me that newborns are hard but I couldn't see why. After having one, hard is an understatement. Every day sierra gets easier and I find myself being so glad that she's not a newborn anymore haha! Thankfully they're tiny and cute and precious to make up for the hard factor. Currently up at 4 am feeding sierra- "this too shall pass"... Right??? I sure hope so :)
