I can't believe how fast time is flying by! Leah is now 10 weeks old and is full of sounds and expressions. She is so fun to interact with and I am going to miss spending my days with her as I have to go back to work in a week which seems unreal. We had her two month check up on Friday, August 23rd and she was a whopping 10 lbs 2 oz and 21 3/4 inches tall (13th and 11th percentiles).
Luke finally decided to join the world and it has been so nice spending the days with him and Carissa.
Luke Andrew Schmidt. Born August 1st at 11:39 am. 7 lbs 10 oz and 20.5 inches long.
Leah is much bigger than the last time she was in this hospital bed! She is 7 weeks old here and we snuck a weigh in on a scale in the hallway and she was 8 1/2 lbs.
Leah is still sleeping at least 6 hour stretches at night, usually between 6.5 and 8.5. Then she goes back down for another 3-4 hours afterwards so I have been very lucky! We try and feed her between 7:30 and 8:30 and then keep her up for as long as we can after that before feeding her again and putting her to bed. She has also been staying awake for longer stretches during the day and taking a very long (3 hour) nap in the afternoons. This is usually after not napping much in the morning though but it works! She is going 2.5-4 hours between eating during the day, depending on how much she sleeps in between and if I am trying to get her on some sort of schedule for the day. She can easily make it three hours though which seems to give me so much more time than every two hours!
Along with lots of smiles she now is 'talking and singing' constantly. Her little coos are adorable and I think she is getting close to laughing. She is also close to finding her hands, she has had them constantly in her mouth for the last week so its just a matter of time before she figures out what they are. She has great head control and seems to enjoy hanging out in her bumbo. She is also rolling over from her tummy to her back about half the time we do tummy time.
