Our
Jayney Joy is TWO MONTHS old! Actually two months was on
Saturday, but I have been waiting to post this until we had the newest stats
from her doctor’s visit today. Jayney is growing like a weed right now, and I
can’t believe how much she changes every day! Here are her new numbers: JJ is
11 pounds 1.5 ounces, putting her in the 50th percentile for weight.
That is down a little from the 75th for weight at her one month but
it is quite possible that she had been putting a lot of her energy into growing
taller as she is now 23 and ¾ inches. That lands her in the 95th percentile
for height and means she has grown almost 4 inches longer than when she was
born! Wow, can you say long and lean?

As far as sleep goes, we continue to be impossibly blessed!
At 5 weeks JJ started giving us at least six straight hours of rest at night.
After the first few nights of sleeping six plus hours I thought we were just
getting lucky and was afraid it wouldn’t last, but it has continued to get
better with each night! I am thrilled to say that now at 9 weeks and a few days
old Jayney regularly sleeps between 7.5 and 9 hours at night! I am so thankful
to have a baby that loves her sleep as much as I do!

All that sleep at night means lots of energy during the day.
I am excited to have her awake, alert and playful more every day. She is
getting to be quite proficient at holding up her head on her own! She clearly
prefers practicing this in her Bumbo seat or Boppy, over her play mat. She is
doing okay with her tummy time but not a huge fan of it unless she is face to
face on someone’s chest. Jayney loves the toys above her play mat when she is
on her back though and likes to bat at them wildly.

In the last month Jayney has learned another new trick thanks to her dad. Dusty taught her how to stick out her tongue! It is pretty cute to watch her see Dusty make a face, think about it really hard, then out comes the tongue. It pops out slow at first but as soon as she realizes she has done it it pops in and out faster. JJ will repeat this little trick over and over with less of a pause in between each time. Usually we end up giggling hysterically and Jayney just starts grinning from ear to ear. We are seeing more of her funny little personality every day!

| Say cheese! |
I know a baby holding
up her head or sticking her tongue out may not sound that fantastic but I still
think it is amazing to watch her learn a new skill, even if it is a silly one! It
is so amusing to sit with her and listen to her new little coos, while watching
her make adorable faces! I could just sit and stare at her all day. Although the
hour and a half milk comas she has each morning and late afternoon are rather helpful
in letting me get caught up with things around the house.

In between her feeding
induced sleep, Jayney is a very smiley girl! She is nursing every four-ish
hours but is just as happy taking a bottle if we are out and about. Whenever we
put JJ in the car, she is snoring within a few minutes of hitting the road. It
makes traveling super trouble-free! It still seems like she doesn’t cry that
much. When the rare occasion does arise to make her upset, she is quick to calm
down. She has some very consistent “tells” that simply let us know what she
wants.
