Delaney’s been through a LOT in her second month of life. We traveled home to Maryland for 2.5 weeks for the holidays and down to Florida for Meemaw’s 80th Birthday. The travel was much scarier in theory than it actually was. She did GREAT!

Stats at 2 month appointment: 11.2 lbs and 23.5 inches

Things I want to remember:

• We took our first T ride with Delaney to the airport on December 23rd using a rain cover over her car seat
• She flew for the first time on the same day and did great! We were delayed more than an hour so we walked her around the terminal for a while as she looked at all the lights and somehow stayed awake
• She ate and slept the entire flight – wahoo!
• She met most of our cousins, grandparents, and close by friends while we were home
• We celebrated Xmas at my parents and both grandparent homes. Delaney dressed for the occasion in the sweetest little dress.
• Jordan and I left Delaney for the first time for the Winter Classic while my parents watched her. She slept most of the day and the Caps won – it was just about as good as could have gotten.
• We traveled to Florida with 22 cousins/aunts/uncles and it was the best. Jordan came to Boston to work so met us down there.

Delaney Quirks

• Still snorts when she eats
• Getting great at taking her Nystatin medicine that she had to be on for 4 weeks while I battled the BULLET PROOF infection
• Can be propped up a little on pillows
• Makes great eye contact
• Rolls over from front to back at 5 weeks!
• She will smile and wiggle when we go to get her from her crib in the morning
• Loves having her hands clapped for her or any arm movements
• Started to sleep “through the night” with fairly consistent stretches of 5 hours (this did not last so…there’s that…)
• Got her two month shots and cried both times but slept and didn’t react badly with a fever or anything
• Went to Stephentown with our friends and spent a day in lodge, passed between me and Jordan

It was a great month! These updates will likely get shorter because it’s probably boring and from now on, I’ll try to post more interesting things about our lives!
