Month two highlights…..
- Harper enjoyed her first Halloween as Olaf, the snowman from Frozen. (Chosen by her sister) Ava was Elsa and continues to be Elsa almost every day since Halloween.
 |
| Pumpkin Patch |
 |
| Halloween celebration at Mommy and Me. Can you find Olaf? |
 |
| Carving pumpkins with daddy. |
 |
| Halloween morning. Telling her sister everything she has to look forward to about the day. |
 |
| Harvest Festival at her preschool. |
 |
| Getting ready for trick or treating with Auntie Beth |
 |
| Most adorable Olaf I've ever seen. |
 |
| Auntie Beth and Harper (I mean Olaf) |
 |
| Our neighborhood's halloween party was more like a Frozen party. |
 |
| Elsa and Olaf were exhausted after trick-or-treating. |
- We got to spend a week with Auntie Beth and then another week with Mimi (We were really sad to see them go)
- Mommy went back to work (only one day a week, thankfully). Very thankful that I get the chance to be home with my girls for most of the week. On Fridays Grandma and Grandpa fight through the LA traffic to drive over an hour to us to watch the girls. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!!! The girls enjoy their time with you and mommy and daddy love knowing they are being watched by loving family. :)

- Harper has become quite social in her second month. She loves to look at faces, smile, coo, and wiggle around.
- She still dislikes her carseat. We've learned to try our best to tune it out and take very short car rides (as much as possible).
- She continues to have a very healthy appetite! The pediatrician agreed with my philosophy to nurse on demand, so we eat about every 2 hours (sometimes every hour in the evening). I tried the every 3 hours schedule and it was not successful. She doesn't eat much in one sitting, which is why we think she eats more often. Might be her tiny tummy or an immature digestive system that will mature with age. She spits up a ton (way more than Ava did), which is another indication of an immature digestive system.
- 2 month stats: 11.2 pounds - 50th percentile, 22 1/2 inches - 50th percentile.
- Rolls to her side and dislikes tummy time.
- Discovered her hands and chews on them as much as possible.
- Wakes up 2-3 times a night. (Mommy is a little tired these days, but knowing how short lived this stage is keeps me smiling throughout the sleepless nights).
We could not be more in love with our baby girl! She is already so personable at 2 months old and loves to just play. She is overall a happy baby and only gets upset when she needs food (which is often) or is over tired.

| Two month photo shoot was a lot more fun than the one month. |
 |
| Love this cute little grin |
 |
| Waving to the camera |
 |
| Making silly faces |
 |
| Harper about an hour after her 2 month shot. |
 |
| 2 hours after her shot. I have never heard her cry like this before. I just held her , nursed her, and tried to comfort the best I could. Luckily Auntie Beth was here to help out. |
 |
| FINALLY, the worst is over! About 5 hours after her shot she started to act like herself again. Not happy that we have to go through this again in a month. (Our doc splits up the shots so they don't get more than one at a time, so we end up going in every month until she is 6 months old.) |
 |
| Had to capture her preferred sleeping position in month 2. Although I love cuddle time with her, I am a happy she is starting to sleep in the swing and bassinet a little more since she hit the 2 month mark. |

Ava on the right at 2 months, Harper on the left. Both as adorable as can be, but I do not see a resemblance.
