Addison's 2 Month Well Check

*I am behind with A's birth story and first month.  I will get to it this week, its my goal:)

At two months Addison is weighing in at 10lbs 11.7oz.  She is 21 inches long and perfect head to toe:)  Of course she had her immunizations which made me very sad, however thanks to Logan and Austin I was distracted by the normal fight over the I-Pad.  Ever taken 3 kids under 4 to the pediatrician for a well visit - its not for the weak that is for sure and people wonder how I lost all my baby weight in two months (all except 5 lbs, but if I ever weigh 105 again I will be shocked).  All Brian could say was "I don't know how you do it."  He actually does it better than me at times.  He is a great dad our kids are very lucky to have him.
2 Months went by quickly and Addison's personality is starting to shine.  She is smiling all the time, giggles, coos, makes razz sounds, and gets her tongue going like she wants to say something.  Addison is mesmerized by ceiling fans and for some reason the rod iron piece we have hanging on the wall.  She sleeps through the night and has been since she was 3 weeks old.  She loves her bouncy seat and LOVES her swing.  Addison is not a fan of getting dressed or getting out of the bath tub.  She loves her baths but hates getting out.  Addison loves bottles so much so that she rarely wants to nurse, but she wants breast milk.  So mommy is pumping, trying nipple shields, letting her nurse when she wants (usually at night).  I had saved up 75 bags of breast milk because in the beginning I had some nipple issues (bleeding) so I had to pump and I was pumping more than she needed.  So I have a lot milk saved but we are also introducing her to formula. She doesn't care as long as she gets fed when she is hungry and that is usually the only time she cries. Addison drinks 4-5 oz of milk every 2 1/2 to 3 hours during the day.  Her last feeding is 9 or 10 and then she will sleep 7 or 8 hours.
Addison, your brothers are in love with you.  I thought the newness of a baby in the house would wear off - oh no!  Austin wakes up in the morning wanting to know where his baby is.  They both kiss her, hug her, hold her, try and play with her, give her toys, etc. 
She goes everywhere with me.  I did leave all three kids home with Brian to go to Publix and felt sad until I was home again.  She's our baby girl and we love her to pieces.  Oh and dressing her and all the bows and accessories NEVER gets old.  I love getting her dressed every day.  I bought her baby nail polish (had no clue there was specific nail polish for babies) so we can paint her toes - pink of course! 
 We brought the play mat out at 2 months:)

 The evening of immunizations...sad girl


 Baths make everything better
 Loves her swing just like her brothers did
 Se reminds me of Logan here
 Happy 2 months beautiful girl
