Caroline {2 Months}


Sweet Caroline– You are 2 months old!  You have changed so much this month...you are no longer a squishy little newborn.  She are sweet as pie and make us light up each time we see you..  There is nothing better than when you snuggle on our chest and sleep.
 


Weight: You weigh 12lbs 6 oz….this is up almost 5 pounds from your birth weight of 7lbs 10oz.! You are 23 inches long and starting to get little rolls on your arms and legs.  You are wearing 0-3month clothes and size 1 diapers.



Sleeping: You are still an amazing sleeper! Most nights, you only wake up once to eat & sleep from 9PM to 6AM.  Your “rough” nights are few & far between.  You are still sleeping in our room. During the day, you don’t like to nap from 7AM to 10AM.  You usually take a couple small naps & a big nap in the afternoon & are ready for bed by 8PM.



Eating: You are on a great schedule of eating every 3 hours.  No matter if you get off track, you still make sure to get 8 feedings a day.  Breastfeeding is going well and you have only had formula about 3 times total.  We have started to give you at least 1 bottle of breast milk a day to give mom a break from feeding you.  We started you on medicine for reflux and it has been life changing for you! You are so much happier after you eat and no longer in pain.
 


Milestones: Lifting your head, looking around, little smiles, rolling over (3 times this month!), noticing lights and fans. You love bath time, getting your diaper changed, being outside and being held. In the Moby wrap. 



Special Moments: We celebrated your 1st Christmas! We took our first over night trip to Katy and then Dallas later in the month.  We celebrated Tegan’s birthday, New Years Eve and went to Dallas for Meme’s funeral service.  You met Nana Konesheck for the first time.  You were given the middle name Charlene after Nana.

Joyful Announcements

We recently created Caroline's birth announcement and our Christmas cards on Shutterfly. I couldn't be more happy with how they turned out! I love receiving cards from other people and love getting to share about our growing family. 





Thanksgiving 2015



Our first Thanksgiving as a family of 4!


For the past 10 years, we have celebrated Thanksgiving at Michael and Heather's house. Our group is made up of my family, Eric's family and Heather's family. We have grown over the years to over 25 people. We are so thankful to be able to come together and celebrate with our big group. Thinking back over the years, we have added spouses, new babies, new houses and tons of memories!



This year, we opted out of our big Thanksgiving since Caroline was only 2 weeks old. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house. We took the day slow, watching the Macy's parade in the morning, then going to my parents house for dinner.  We had a great time with our family and yummy food.

Our baby turkey! It is so fun to see Caroline wearing the same outfits Madison wore.

Caroline's Newborn Pictures {November 2015}

Caroline Charlene Konesheck
{November 9, 2015}




When Caroline was 1 week old, we took family and newborn pictures.  I am so happy with how the pictures turned out!  The cards were stacked against us...humidity, foggy morning, a 1 week old baby, a 2 year old and having pictures at 8am...but the pictures are wonderful!  We are thankful for a patient photographer who understands what it is like to work with small kiddos.
