Mackenzie: 2 month Update

Another month has gone by! Mackenzie is 2 months old now and has already changed so much. The first month was pretty rough, and she was SO fussy. I was worried she might have reflux, but she didn't have any of the symptoms besides LOTS of crying. Things have gotten a lot better as she's gotten older and we have a happier baby now. 

We've been able to catch a lot of smiles, especially when she wakes up in the morning. Unfortunately, me pulling out my phone is always too big a distraction, and the smile disappears. Mackenzie is also finding her voice and its funny to hear her squawking as she plays on the floor. 

I feel like she's getting so big! At least bigger faster than her sister did at this age. We've already outgrown a lot of clothes, and she's in size 1 diapers now. 
She had her 2 month check up today and weighs 11 pounds, 6 oz. She's 22.75 inches long. She basically doubled her weight and grew 2.25 inches, so I think I was right about that!

Here's how other things are going...

We're settling into a nice routine now, and I'm feeling a lot less overwhelmed. She usually does 2 short naps a day, with a long one in between. Kenzie is drinking 5 oz bottles about every 4 hours, and takes FOREVER but that's ok.

Our beloved swing died a few weeks ago, which forced us to get Kenzie sleeping in her crib 100% of the time. The first few days were rough, but now she's sleeping in there, no problem. She's even gives us about 6 hours consistently each night from about 9-3 am. Right now she's in our room, and probably will be for awhile. At least until she's consistently sleeping through the night. Marley doesn't ever get bothered by Kenzie's crying, but I don't want to risk having a toddler awake at 3 am too. 

Overall, we're doing well. Kenzie has fit quite nicely into our family and the next few months should be even more fun as she's smiling and showing her little personality.
