Hope 2nd and 3rd month

By the end of the second month, Hope was sleeping through the night at 7 to 8 weeks old. She slept from about 10pm to 7am most night. We would walk or rock Hope to sleep. We use the swaddler every night and she was really developing at pattern. Eating about 7 times a day. Taking a 4 oz bottle and napping about 4 times a day. She loves watching her feet and reaching out for things. Still loving the blue-ear dog on her play mat! :) We got the side to side swing when we went to AL in March
 from Aunt Carey and Hope loves that! It is wonderful to have this at home now!  She also likes the swings at church! In the 2nd month Hope starts being content to just lay flat and we talked to and played with or to sit in the boppy and face Mom and Dad.  She started liking rattles and enjoying watching and listening to them.

At 2 month check up, Hope weighed 10lbs 7.8 oz. Height was 22 inches. Hope also started making all kinds of cute coos and googling sounds by the end of the 2nd month!!

The end of the 2nd month brought on some relief. Hope was now starting to have content wake times, starting sleeping and starting lighting up with her little smile! :)

By 3 months old, Hope was about 12 to 13 lbs. Was sleeping 9 to 11 hours at night. Naps about 4 x a day. Nurse and bottle 6-7 times a day.  Hope starting laughing and smiling like crazy. Now really smiles at her big sister, Grace! At this time, Hope now likes to sit facing out and watching T.V. or her surroundings. She is started to explore her surrounding. More aware and watching every thing that is going on around her and don't want to miss a thing!! :)  Hope also likes her toy singing steering wheel. At this age, she held her head up well. She even said "Mum, Mumma" which Momma just loved!! :) Daddy says she even said something that sounding like "I uv oo" hahahaha!  Still loves the side to side swing.  In her 3rd Month on April 21st, 2014 we moved her over to Kid's Day Out at Crossgate, because there is not near as many babies there and the convenience for Adam has just been great!

I was going to include some video but they all want to freeze up...
