Adriana seems to have mellowed out in the drama department quite a bit, but she can still give some good screams. She has now developed her pitiful cry for when she isn't really upset, just bored or sleepy or hungry. She is starting to coo quite a bit and gives big toothless grins, especially in the morning. She is super smiley in the morning and I love it.
She has no schedule really during the day yet, she sleeps when she wants and some days she will nap for only 30-45 minutes at a time, some days she will sleep 3 hrs at a time. Nighttime is a little more predictable, she usually goes down between 9-10 and will usually give me a 4-5 hour chunk and then after that it is two, two hour chunks. Not too bad for a two month old. Although usually twice a week I only get a three hour chunk and the a few two hour chunks. She sleeps soooo much better than Connor did at this age. The biggest difference between the two of them in terms of their sleeping habits is Connor HAD to be swaddled in order to sleep, and he could only be swaddled after he fell asleep. He was so difficult to put down to sleep, lots of rocking, making sure he was completely passed out before trying to lay him down or else you had to start all over. Adriana HATES to be swaddled, which was really weird for us to get used to! She is so so easy to put down to sleep in the middle of the night, she nurses and then I can pretty much just lay her down in her bassinet and she is fine. She self soothes herself pretty well if she kind of wakes up.
She is giving the biggest smiles now, and when she smiles she open her mouth wide open. So cute! It is hard for me to get the smile on camera because it distracts her! And I think she is starting to try and laugh or giggle, it comes out as a sort of squeal/cough, it cracks me up!
We do have one problem, this little girl is already so addicted to her binky. She just loves it. She doesn't sleep with it at night, just uses it to help fall asleep for naps and when she is fussy in the evenings. Oh, another big difference between the two of them: Adriana does not like to nurse to sleep, it is super rare for her to nurse to sleep. It is the strangest thing! I HAD to nurse Connor sleep, otherwise I would be rocking him forever. If she is sleepy and I try to nurse her to help her fall asleep, she screams! It is so odd, and again, something I am still getting used to.
Two months baby girl. Can't believe how fast it is going.
