Alexa had her 2 month well baby visit. She weighed in at 10lbs 10oz, 22.25inches with a 15.5in head circumference. The pediatrician said everything looked great. She measured her strawberry & said if it grows in the next 2 months then she will refer her to a dermatologist. Hopefully this wont be the case, but only time will tell. Alexa seemed to really be effected by her vaccines. It broke my heart to hear her screaming in pain over the course of the 2 days that followed. She also seemed very sleepy & not interested in her usual toys. I know the importance of the vaccines & that helped me get through those days.
On Tuesday the three of us packed up & started making our way to Chicago. Alexa slept the entire 4 hours in the car. Once we arrived at our hotel, Alexa decided it was time to stay awake. We had a really hard time trying to get her to sleep. I ended up putting her in the bed with me & spent most of the night soothing her.
Wednesday Alexa met her Great- Grandpa & Grandma McKinney. This was one of those moments that I was really looking forward to. This was also the day Justin & I decided we were going to start transitioning Alexa to a flexible schedule. We started reading the "Baby Wise" book and decided to take a few tips from there. We decided we would start with simple changes. 1st being full feedings. Megan said this was the best advice she was given. It took about 1/2 a day to get this going. 2nd we were going to get her on the sleep, eat, play rotation. This has been a little harder, but we are working on it. As she masters these two things we will then work on a bed time routine & night feedings.
