she's 2 months old today

Where's the time gone?? In memory of the last 2 months, thought I'd share some random Myelle-isms.

While waiting for Eddie to come home yesterday, I flopped her on her belly for some tummy time. She usually lifts her head up so that her face is perpendicular to the surface she's on. Her back was to me so I was wondering what was going on. She fell asleep on her tummy!

Totally getting too big to fit in between the nursing pillow. She weighed 13lbs 2oz on July 29.

Her swaddle blanket that we got just 3 weeks ago and it's already really snug. I could barely pull the little velcro flap over in the front. This is what we put her in (the straight jacket) when she's extra fussy at night cause it helps settle her and she sleeps longer.

This is how we usually find her in the morning LOL!

She got congested the last few weeks so we bought this incline wedge for her to sleep on so she can breathe a bit better. Her head's supposed to be at the top of the wedge. This is how we usually find her in the morning.

Or like this when we try to pick her up (gotta do her neck stretches).

And for the last two times we used the wedge, THIS is how I found her. Our little drunken sailor. At least we got 2.5 weeks use out of it for 25 bucks.

Look forward to recording more isms in the upcoming months.

PS thank you for your kind comments, words of encouragement and for sharing your experiences re bf with me:). I look forward to the 3 and 6 month marks but will enjoy her tiny-ness in the meanwhile.

Owlie is her other name

Eddie gave her this name when she consistently got into her fussy mode around 9pm to 1amish when I try to sneak an hour's nap in and he would have to entertain her. So stinkin' cute and I'm so happy that Rae caught it on camera.

Here's one where no one is making any funny faces LOL.
