Aviela is 2 Months Old!

Avi is a 2 months old!  In her short two months she has been on three flights already (6 legs) and has slept in a hotel 12 days.  Every where we went people were commenting on it being her first flight and how she was so young and so they were surprised when I said her first flight was when she was a month old.  She has been a great traveler and of course it is much easier than a toddler traveling!

We had her two month appointment yesterday and her measurements were:
9lbs 14oz 15%
22.5 inches tall 53%
Her head was in the 26% (can't remember the measurement)

She has grown and gained really well.  She is up 3 lbs from her birth weight and grown 2.25 inches.  I don't want to jinx it but she has been such a great baby.  She usually cries when she is hungry or tired.  She does like to be entertained or have someone around her while she is awake but besides that she has been great.

I have been feeding her before bed around 10pm and she usually wakes up around 5:30am for a snack and then 8:30ish for the morning.  Our days have been starting later and going to bed later with the summer and the sun being out for so long.

She doesn't love to be out in the sun.  I call her my vampire baby.  Zuri was born in the winter so the sun wasn't very strong.  Avi squints and squirms as soon as we are in the sun so I quickly take her to shaded areas.

Zuri has adjusted well to her.  She likes to give her love and "huggies".  Our transition will really begin when we move into our new house next week and I have a lot of alone time with both kids.

Here is how Zuri "hold baby sista"

Avi likes to take baths and lately I have managed both at the same time.  Zuri likes Avi to take a bath in her "boat."  She also likes to "wash" baby sister.

Avi doesn't like to be swaddled but I find she sleeps much better when she is swaddled.  She takes one bottle a night around 8pm and she use to dislike it but she has now adjusted to taking this once a night.  She started smiling around 5 weeks and likes to smile and laugh a little.  She also likes cooing when you talk to her or when she is in a happy mood.  I have been laying her down for naps in her cradle unless Pedro is sleeping. If he is sleeping I lay her in the swing and she seems to like the swing pretty well.



All in all things have been going pretty well.

It was cold in one of the gyms where we played!

Avi doesn't understand the playing on the playmat so Zuri was trying to teach her!
