Sadie Mae: 2 Months

How is my baby already two months old? It’s going even faster this time around. And technically she’s already 2 and a half months….oops. #secondchild
Sadie is such a joy. She only cries if she is overly tired or hungry…or is DONE with being in her carseat. Girlfriend is on the go with me pretty much every day either running errands or keeping big brother entertained….and she handles it like a champ. But when she’s done, she’s DONE. 
She’s also a great sleeper. I didn’t want to tell anyone about it but for about two weeks now she’s been sleeping in 10 hour stretches. Proving that some kids are just better sleepers than others. I remember praying that Hudson would sleep a three hour stretch….so girlfriend is rocking it in the sleep department! But no matter what I do, I can’t get her down before 9pm. She just will not have anything to do with an early bedtime. And she’s not really in to napping either. You win some, you loose some. (of course, since I’m writing this 2 weeks late, Sadie’s sleep habits have changed….jinxed myself for sure.)
I haven’t weighed her, but my guess is that she is at least 12 pounds. Sadie loves milk! Still 100% breastmilk for this girl. At two months old she wears size 1 diapers and size 0-3 month pjs and clothes…but those pjs won’t last much longer!
I can’t help but love holding my sweet girl. If I didn’t have a toddler + a house to run + a job to do I would be holding her pretty much all day…and often do just that! She is the perfect addition to our family and she makes me want to have more just like her!

    Such a pretty little lady! Hopefully she will be back on her awesome sleep schedule soon. My boys slept great, but once in a while…maybe during growth spurts…they had some "off" nights.

    I can't believe she's 2 months already! She is so cute- and I love that last picture of her with your dog ๐Ÿ™‚

    The last pic is so sweet with the pup watching over. Has it been easier to be on the go since you had a VBAC and she is a good sleeper (and you know what to expect with a new baby) or is it just necessity? I had a CS with my first and hoping I'll feel more human and be able to do more if I get a VBAC this time…

    She's such a beauty! And that first picture is AH-MAZING. I love the little fist pump ๐Ÿ™‚ She's so sweet! You go Sadie for letting your mama sleep at night!

    She's a little sweetie! I love that she's been a good sleeper (hope that hasn't changed too much!), and it gives me hope for this baby!

    I hear ya on wanting to hold her all the time! If only we didn't have any other responsibilities. ๐Ÿ™‚ I am so glad she's a good sleeper!!! Louise is not into napping, either, but I can get a good 7-8 hours at night, so I'm not complaining! She's so beautiful…I can't wait to watch her grow more!! (PS Where are you getting a lot of her clothes? I noticed the GAP romper…we've been sporting that one, too!!)

    Happy 2 months, sweet Sadie! She is an absolute doll, Julie! Hoping her sleep habits are still going great for you. Viv is a good nighttime sleeper but not a great napper too – definitely win some lose some;)

    Happy two months! You posted a picture of her on instagram on her actual two month day which reminded me that it my little guy was two months old that day too. At least you remembered her special day, the day of! It sounds like she is an amazing sleeper! I hope she continues to be an amazing sleeper for you and that she figures out the whole napping thing.

    She is darling! And looks so much like big brother ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope you are having fun with all those super-cute ensembles! Yay for dressing a GIRL!!

    Aww that last picture is just my favorite! Finn sleeps 10-13 hour stretches too! However, Liam also did this and then hit that nasty 4 month sleep regression and has been a terrible sleeper ever since. Hopefully that happens to neither of our babes!

    Gah!! She is absolutely gorgeous!! And kudos on being a good sleeper and go on the go. Seriously, aren't second babies the best?!! ๐Ÿ™‚ That first photo kills me – girl power!!
