Two Months Old!!

I can't believe my sweet baby girl is two months old already! It's gone by so quickly. This is my last week home with her and I'm so sad it's over! I spent the first six weeks of her life finishing my MBA, and was completely overwhelmed, trying to adjust to my girl while working 20 hours a week on my capstone project. I finished with a 499/500 on my final paper, so I was very proud, but by the time that was over, I had just four weeks home with her. I've tried to cram in as much quality time with her as I can, but she's had a rough road with her belly. After trying five different formulas, Callie is now on Similac Soy, which is what Mia ended up on. She has reflux so we thicken it with rice cereal. She will surely be a huge baby before long, but at least she feels better. It's been a tough ride for her and her belly, trying to get this all figured out. She still has pretty bad gas, but at least she isn't choking and throwing up. Callie is a sweet, beautiful baby, and her smile melts my heart. We are all absolutely in love with her! She started cooing and even giggled in her sleep the other night, so I try to get her to "talk" to me every chance I get. She loves her sister too, and Mia calls her "Little Baby Bunny" and sings to her all the time. She's not a consistent baby during the day. Some days she sleeps, others she's awake nearly all day. But she sleeps great at night! She's usually ready for bed by 7 or 8, we wake her for a "dream feed" at about 10, and she's out for the night. She wakes up once for an additional nighttime feeding, these days anywhere from 6 1/2 hours to 10 hours later. But she doesn't cry in the middle of the night otherwise. Mommy and Daddy sure do appreciate that! Callie had her first beach trip last week. We went to Destin with Dad, Sue, Emie and her friends, and the Farfsings. It was not much of a relaxing trip, since Callie was awake so much during the day, but it was fun regardless. We did so much with Mia, Cara and Ramsey. They did an obstacle course, bumper boats, miniature golf, ferris wheel, a pirate cruise, and of course played on the beach and at our pool. They were exhausted by the time they got in bed each night! Callie rode down with Mike and me, and I had to sit in the backseat with her almost the entire trip. She was just fussy. Mia rode with Dad and Sue and was great. She watched movies, so she was fine. I'm sure Callie was uncomfortable sitting that long, so I tried to get her out as often as I could. But it's hard to explain that to an 8 week old! We are heading to the doctor for her two month check-up here soon. I will update afterward.
