Live Laugh Love...with The Souza's: 2 months

I can’t believe our little Maggie girl is already 2 months old as of November 23rd.

We officially do NOT have a newborn anymore…total sad face! That went by way to fast! Maggie is officially in 3 month clothes and I’m finding it very difficult to pack away all the newborn stuff. I have it all in a rubbermaid…waiting…not sure for what but its there. I know I just need to give it away to someone who needs girl newborn clothes but I’m having a hard time letting it go just yet!

On Maggie’s 2 month birthday we had a busy day…we had to make sure we got her pictures at home taken AND she had her 2 month well baby check-up! These are her monthly pics. People say the last baby usually doesn’t have a baby book, doesn’t have lots of pictures of them, etc. i think its the other way around in this house. Poor Owen is the one that has the least amount of cool cute shit. Thank God he’s a boy and won’t probably give a hoot when he grows up. BUT his Baby Book is done…like start to finish its complete. ((Patting myself on the back!))

Our little lady has already grown SO much!! Will I last taking these monthly pics?? Who knows. But I DO know that month 3 we are in Ireland so we won’t be taking any of these exact ones since I won’t have my “props”. Oh well. Our monthly pictures at home are getting easier and easier. I know what I need and don’t waste time doing it. haha Lighting is important and making sure baby is fed and happy too!! Fussy babies don’t do well with all these little pictures! When I go back to work in January it will be a bit harder to get these pictures of my girl since I’m not home during the time of the of day with the best light. Eh..well work something out.

Kaiser scheduled her 2 month check up for exactly her 2 month birthday. I sat in the waiting room, just Maggie and I, (Owen at school and Ella with Nana) and watched some newborn parents bringing their fresh little ones in for their 5 day check. They fussed about the car seat and their stroller wheels were hardly dirty. I got kind of sad thinking that those days are over…BUT then some crazy ass kids started running around the waiting room, my anxiety went through the roof and I was happy and laughing that some day I’ll miss this. And when I say crazy ass kids, I mean like the kind you see on movies. The kind that you don’t think are real! Their dad was getting flusters and embarrassed because he had ZERO control over the 2 little animals. It was horrible. Thankfully I didn’t have to wait long…I wouldn’t have been able to sit and watch them destroy the waiting area.

Our little chunker now weighs 11lbs 1.3oz which puts her in the 44th percentile.
and she is 22.5 inches long keeping her in the 52nd percentile.

She’s a healthy and happy little lady. And took her vaccinations like a champ. Yes she cried but she was tough!!

Of course I started wondering how Maggie measured up against my other two kiddos…so I went back into the baby books to see what their stats were at 2 months.

Owen

June 2009 - When Owen was 6 weeks old he was projectile vomiting and we found out that he had a “common” issue called pyloric stenosis. I guess 1 out of 400 first born males have this issue…and to think we had NEVER heard of it before.
At 6 weeks 6 days Owen weighed 11lbs 2oz.
Kinda funny because he was the biggest I had at that time even with his vomiting issue. I can’t imagine how big he would have been if he was keeping all his bottles in his belly!

At Owens 2 month check up he weighed 12lbs 11oz. in the 64th percentile. and 24 inches in the 75th percentile.

This pic is the day he had his first set of shots at his 2 month well baby check-up. I didn’t take any in the doc office…see 1st baby totally didn’t get all the same pics!
