Becca Update

 I can't believe I haven't posted in months.  Becca has been growing and getting easier and easier to take care of.  Here she is at one month.  She was still waking up at 3 am and not going right back to sleep at this time.  Brian would take her down stairs and hold her until they both fell asleep.  (love him!)  She is also sporting some great baby acne.

 She wouldn't hold still and stop screaming, so this is as good as the two month old picture got.  She started going back to sleep at night after waking up to eat at about 7 weeks.  Yea!  She still sleeps in her car seat, because she likes it and I am too afraid to try anything else.  She also starts to develop cradle cap.  I scrubbed her head with baby oil and it came right off although it left her hair greasy for a few days.  Why didn't I try that with my other babies?

She also started smiling about this time - too cute!

When we went to her two month check up she had grown 2 inches and gained two pounds.  I can't find the paper they wrote the exact numbers on so let's just say that she weighted about 11lbs 5oz, ok?  She had dropped from 90th to 75th percentile, which is normal for our kids.  I make big babies and then the Gardunia genes kick it and they drop down to a petite 25-50th percentile by the time they are 6 months old. She got her shots too.  The girls were horrified that we were hurting her and she did cry out in real tortured anguish.  Her poor little legs were sore for a few days.  None of my other kids have really had a problem with shots, but I could sure tell when Becca's Tylenol was wearing off for a few days there.

We are trying to have Becca sleep in her little bed by ours and it it going pretty well except when I am so tired after feeding her that I forget to put her back in.  She is smiling and holding herself up pretty well now.  She still doesn't have a nap schedule, but she is working on learning how to grab things and loves her sisters and puts up with them man handling her.  We love our cute Becca Babe!
