Alyssa 2 months

Mommy isn't going to lie... she totally wrote this when you were almost 5 months old  :)  What can I say... we are busy around here!!  Nevertheless, I wanted to make sure you had a post for each and every month just like your brother did... at least until you're 1. 

Not much has changed from your first month till now.  You are holding your head up even more, and you are starting to be awake more and more during the day.... and at night.  Your jaundice has gone away completely!!  For some reason little missy, you think that it's party time from about 3-5 am each night.  Once 5 am hits, you are back down and like to sleep till 8 or 9 am.  This has been hard because your brother needs to go to school at 8:30 so I end up waking you up and feeding you in a rush so we can get out the door.  Plus, Mama is tired from being up with you so much!! 

You are 10 lbs and 14 oz. and 22.25 inches long. You are holding steady in the 50% for weight and height but still have a tiny little head... so unlike your brother :) You have also mastered rolling from your belly to your back... and you can hold this over your brother's head later in life... you rolled a few days before he did!  We shall see if the rest of the motor skills follow suit... we will be in trouble if they do!!

You were officially diagnosed with reflux this month.  I saw the signs several weeks after you were born, but was hoping that it wasn't true.  They put you on Zantac for a week, and that didn't seem to be doing it, so they added prevacid twice a day.  You seem to be doing much better with that and are more comfortable eating now... thank goodness!  We are very thankful you just spit up and aren't doing the projectile vomiting that your big brother used to do.  Our carpets and furniture thank you for that my dear!
