Miss Ridley officially turned two months old as of yesterday! It seems impossible that she can be growing so fast. She is doing new things every single day and continues to amaze us!
Ridley is still a little nugget weighing in at just 8 lb 1 oz and at 20 3/4 in long. She is still below the fifth percentile for height and weight but she is growing at a really good rate so we are happy. She is still wearing newborn size diapers and is now able to wear pretty much all her newborn size clothes. We just try to stick with outfits that get reviews of running small. ;) Her tiny little feet are still too small for size 0 shoes but I am anxiously awaiting the day she can fit into her little baby sandals!
She is taking 3 ounces of formula at each feeding. She actually takes a little bit less than that overnight so we are thinking it won't be long until she will want to sleep much longer stretches without waking up to eat. She actually does sleep pretty well and on most nights will sleep from 10:30 or 11:00 PM until 3:30 AM so I can't complain about that!
She actually got her first cold last week and we were really worried about her. She picked up a virus that her brother had gotten Easter weekend but she was barely eating and with her small feeding amounts we really can't have her eating any less. She was having a hard time breathing so we took her in for a visit with her pediatrician. We were on the verge of being admitted due to her becoming dehydrated and her oxygen levels below 100% but she decided that it would be best to support Ridley at home to keep her away from the germs in the hospital. I ended up staying up most of the nights with her to make sure that she was breathing fine and suctioning out her nose. Thankfully now she is back to normal and eating fine...I'm praying she doesn't get sick again anytime soon!
Over the last couples weeks Ridley has started smiling more especially when I talk to her. As soon as I whip out my phone to get a picture though she stops smiling which is a bummer! She also has amazing head control and can sit in her Bumbo seat for a long period of time now. This morning she was able to sit up while we read around 4-5 books. She also started cooing and making sweet little noises over the last couple days also which is the cutest thing I have ever heard! I forgot how sweet baby sounds are.
Recently her favorite things are the owl that plays music on her play seat and her brother, Lachlan. He always talks to her in this sweet little voice and she smiles the biggest at him. I love that they are so good together! So also still loves being held at all times and I am more than happy to snuggle with her.
I am so happy that I have been home with her each day to experience all the new things she does and just be able to be with her all day long. By the time she turns three months old, I will be back to work which is unimaginable to me right now. I can't wait to see what this next month holds and am excited that I still have a few weeks at home. I absolutely love my sweet girl and her awesome brother!
