She is generally very content and some days go by that she just doesn't cry at all. (Or maybe it's that the other two are so chaotic at times that I just don't hear it???) I told Andy that I literally look back in my car multiple times per day to make sure she's in there. In the car if she ever makes a peep both EK and H immediately start yelling, 'baby caroline is crying mama, she needs milk'. haha. She loves being held and is super snuggly. Thankfully she likes the carseat and spends a lot of her awake time on her playmat.
Over the last few weeks she has started sharing her little smiles, always such a fun milestone :) For my records, I think the first official intentional smile was 4/23 :) She loves being talked to and will usually flash a smile if she's not too tired. I wish I could say she was smiling more at her sisters but I feel like she actually flinches when they come near.. haha.
She still naps all the time - the longest she's awake is usually 1.5 hrs or so. Harper and EK have never been the best sleepers for me so it's possible my expectations are super low but I'm pretty happy with how Caroline is sleeping. At most she is up 2x/night - usually around 2 and 5. Fortunately she has also started going to sleep at a much more reasonable hour and is usually in bed at least by 830 or 9. A couple nights ago she actually slept for 9 hrs straight - the night of her doctor's appt which was filled with shots.
We've had a lot of celebrations this month and try to get random pictures of Caroline (usually in the carrier or the carseat) so she knows she was there too :) We celebrated Caroline and Olivia's baptisms, Andy's bday, both mine and EK's as well as mother's day. Caroline helped celebrate the way she knows best - sleeping! We've also had lots of fun playdates which the big girls have loved of course :)
At her 2 month WCC she was up to 11 lbs 7.8oz, 22.5 inches long. Both around the 50th percentile. She's mostly out of her newborn outfits and into 0-3 months. She certainly has filled out a ton and has some fluffy little cheeks :) A lot of her hair has fallen out but I think it's starting to come back - dark hair and dark eyes I believe…. she looks a lot like Harper to me.
