8 weeks

Hayden is already 8 weeks old! We took her for her 2 month checkup today. She had 4 shots plus an oral vaccine. She was a real trooper. We were unlucky with the nurse who took her sweet time administering each shot individually and painstakingly slowly. But, Hayden was a real trooper and got over it pretty quickly. No sign of a fever yet, she is snoozing it off. Hopefully this does not disrupt her routine too much. As for her stats, she measured 21 3/4 inches which is a 1 3/4 inch growth. She weighed in at 9 pounds 10 ounces. She is still in the 25th percentile for height and weight which is consistent with where she has been. Her birthmarks look good and the rest of her looks great as well.

In other news, Hayden has been smiling as you can see from the picture below. She is beginning to coo a bit as well. She also makes a face as if she is laughing but so far no sound. All in all, Hayden is a pretty laid back kid who does not fuss too much. She pretty much cries only when she is bored or hungry. Usually around 7:30 she becomes inconsolable with her crying which means she wants to be swaddled. She is often awake until around 10 pm and then goes down. She is waking up once per night which is great because Lauren will go back to work in 4 more weeks and we are hoping to get enough sleep.
We also had a 'Sip and See' 2 weeks ago to welcome Hayden. Thank you to everyone who helped organize and who attended. We are glad you were able to meet her and look forward to having her out more soon. That is about all for now, check back soon!
