The Brunkers: Brooklyn 2 Months!!

Month 2: 12/26/11-1/26/12

Rolled over from tummy to back (1/2/12) I think this was a fluke as she has not done it again
Slept 8 hours straight through the night 9pm-5am (1/2/12)
Celebrated her first New Years Eve!
We finally went to the doctor on 1/12/12 for acid reflux-started on baby Zantac and it has been amazing! She sleeps better and does not make the gurgling, groaning, clearing the throat noises! She is very dependent of the medicine-if for some reason we forget to give it to her before her last feeding at night, it is a rough night of loud noises!
I hold her upright for 30 minutes after every feeding-this makes the bedtime routine very long
We have started a bedtime routine that we do every night-bath (even though she isn't dirty to need a bath every night we still give her one, music, lights dimmed, feed, rock and bed. It has worked so we keep doing it.
Brooklyn still sneezes all the time-they are cute sneezes!
She gets the hiccups all the time too-Mommy's Bliss Grip Water is amazing-anytime she get the hiccups we give her some of that and they are gone instantly! Amazing!
She will sleep for 7-8 hours at night, wake up to feed then back to sleep for another 2-3 hours!
Naps during the day are short, cat naps. Seems to be 40 minutes on the dot and she is awake!
She is the happiest in the mornings-all smiles from ear to ear-melts my heart
Brooklyn has found her hands! She loves putting them in her mouth-it is nice when her paci falls out her hands replace her paci (most of the time)
She is sleeping in her bassinet now, no more rock n play
Brooklyn still loves laying on her changing table
She is starting to talk and coo-sweetest sounds ever!
Brooklyn attended her first birthday party-Stella turned 2. She had fun! She had a blowout in the first 15 minutes we were there, glad mommy remembered to pack an extra outfit!
When we took Brooklyn to doctor for her reflux at 6 1/2 weeks-we were told to cut back on feedings, so yes, our baby girl is on a diet! At 6 1/2 weeks she weighed 12 pounds 11 ounces!
Brooklyn loves:

to eat
bath time
her mommy
being held and carried around the house
loud noises
her hands in her mouth

Brooklyn hates:

tummy time
being alone
quiet rooms

Her umbilical hernia is getting smaller every day! So excited! Some days it is all the way in when she is laying down and it looks like a real belly button!
Very predictable-when she wakes up she will only be up for an hour before she is tired again and goes back to sleep
Very alert and starting to interact so much more
She is very aware of her surroundings
Started losing her hair on top of her head
We still don't know what color her hair is going to bed. Some days it looks reddish/auburn in certain light, some days it looks blonde and other days it looks brown
Her eyes are changing-the doctor says he thinks they are going to be light blue-I still think they are going to be green. Ben and I both have green eyes and both of our moms have blue eyes.
She is changing so much each day. She is so fun to be around and I know each day will just keep getting better and better and more fun!!

Sleeping in her bassinet (I put bassinet in her room for nap time to see if the darker room would help her sleep longer than 40 min, but that didn't work)
