We went to the Outer Banks with a lot of extended family and had a great trip. We woke up early and headed down there and EK did relatively great in the car. Obviously we still stopped 3 times to feed her but basically she was content when fed and just went on back to sleep. The week itself at the beach probably wasn't much of a change for her... eating, napping, looking at fans ;) She seemed to like being outside and feeling that ocean breeze! The trip back was a bit of a different story... we left on a Friday evening and for whatever reason both girls decided to keep each other up for the first 4-5 hours of our trip. We don't love driving through the night but when babies are sleeping through the night it sure is so much easier.
She was baptized this month at St. James on Father's Day and slept like a champ through the entire thing! She got to meet a lot of extended family that day as well as celebrate her awesome dad!!
She has gotten so much bigger and and interactive this month which has been fun to watch. She is very smiley... most often in the morning soon after waking up. She loves watching big sis and gives her plenty of smiles! Of course she still loves fans and sometimes when I'm getting ready or need to get a few things done I will plop her down under to fan and use that as my babysitter. She has the sweetest little voice and will often talk and coo to us, especially in the car. I think it's her telling Harper to quit holding her hand so tightly ;) Harper loooves to hold her hand and is always on the lookout to let me know if EK is crying or if she has woken up from a nap. Just within the past few days Harper has started telling Emma Kate that she loves her... unsolicited from me. It is the sweetest thing.
She's a relatively good sleeper most nights. Usually she goes to bed about 9 or 930 and then wakes up about 4:20 to eat. Then back to sleep until about 7. It's funny how her little clock works... she wakes up for that feed at almost the exact same time everyday... 4:18, 4:20, 4:23. Randomly we will have a bad night that involves a couple wake ups but for the most part she's doing well. She sleeps swaddled and loves it. I don't know what I'm going to do when she gets too big to be swaddled!!
I think one of her most favorite things is her nighttime bath with Harper. Harper loves taking bubble baths in our big tub and she loves having EK join her. No matter how hungry or tired Emma Kate is she becomes as chill as a cucumber the second we put her in the tub. I weighed her yesterday before the tub and I think she's about 13.2 lbs now!! Big girl! We met one of her second cousins, Charlie, a couple days ago and while he's a month younger he seemed sooo much smaller. EK is about to be upgraded to her 3-6 month clothes very soon!! She's still got blue eyes so maybe that is there to stay? Also has light brownish, blondish hair that is slowly starting to grow a bit more on top. She had a pitiful looking rash on her head for a couple weeks that is pretty much resolved. It never seemed to bother her fortunately!
Well I lost my camera cord which is why pictures have been scarce but another one is on its way from amazon sooo hopefully pictures to come soon!!
Happy 2 months!
