Lily smiles!


And it's just amazing to watch her! my heart just melts! She also makes "ahh", "eee", and something like 'booo" sounds and loves when i answer back. She just turned 2 months a week ago and much has changed already:
-First of all she now weighs 5.15 kilos so 11lbs so she's doing really well as her big round cheeks show;)
-She can stay awake in her bed without crying non stop so i can be in another room (what a relief!)
-She eats every 3 to 4 hours so 6 to 7 times a day. The time when i was breastfeeding as often as 12 times a day seem long gone, thank god!
-She poops only 1 or 2 times and we haven't had an explosion in a while!
-I can give her a full massage without her crying
-Last but not least she sleeps about 5 to 6 hours at night which is a major relief and we've transitioned her to her own bed. I was very anxious about that step but we had decided we'd try it when she'd turn 2 months old so we did. The first night went really well but of course that was a fluke and it didn't happen the next night but overall it's not too bad. Of course there are nights when she just wouldn't fall asleep and cries and cries until she finally crashes around 1:30am. And other nights when she wakes up several hours in a row because her pacifier has fallen off but there are the good nights and we're thankfull for those!

She still gives us her daily concert starting around 8:30pm and on and off until we go to bed at 11pm! that's when she cries and fusses uncontrollably. Last night was particularly bad -- she finally passed out in my arms but boy do i hate those moments when she cries non stop! it's so painful for me to watch. I hope this phenomenon is going to go away soon. I hear it's suppsed to stop between 2 and 3 months so i'm praying it's in our near future!
