Delaney Loryn is 2 months old. I cannot believe it. I've been living in this time warp since she was born. It feels like her birth was FOREVER ago and just last week all at the same time. I think it's the lack of sleep!
The last month has been one of the hardest I remember since we've been a family. Laney's been sick and sad and no one's been able to sleep. We've been frustrated, man, sad, sleepy, and lost a LOT this month. We've had lots of sickness, lots of guesses, and no real answers. We've had a sad little girl that has broken our hearts because we don't know how to help her feel any better : /
Then 2 days ago we got her new Silent Reflux meds. She's been an angel baby! This is that same happy/content/super sweet baby that I had for a few weeks before all this started!! I also went off dairy again. I think the two together have really helped. I'm just hoping this is it and it's over and there's no more guessing or pain or sadness! :(
That being said, Delaney is the other half to the love of our lives!! She and Landon have just so filled our hearts with love and joy! She is beautiful and patient and sweet and funny. Here are some fun things about our sweet Laneybug!
* She eats every 3-3.5 hrs during the day. Growth spurts generally a little more often. But because of the reflux she's not big on pigging out closely together unless it's bedtime :)
* Sleep - When she's feeling well she takes 2 hr naps throughout the day after she's been up for an hr. She'll do that 3 times and then take a catnap in the evenings for 45 min or so. When she's feeling well she will generally wake twice in a 12 hr period to eat. But last night she only woke once after her dreamfeed! It was awesome!! I think that her meds must be really helping already!
*Disposition - she's still an angel baby. She is so calm and precious!!
*Growth - She is such a cute big girl!! She has rolls on her thighs and fatty cheeks. We just love the chunk! She was born and has stood steadily at the 50th% until her last reflux visit when she jumped to the 60th!! I can't believe that I got my chunky baby!! Her 0-3 clothes are already tight and often difficult to close or pull up when she has a cloth diaper on :) Again - I just cannot get over how big she is compared to Landon!!!
* Growing up - She's been rolling over like a champ for the past 2 weeks now. She's super fast at it because she absolutely hates being on her belly! She holds her head up really well and coos a ton. We can tell she's going to be very social and verbal. Such a girl!
*Other things - She's really enjoying her baths lately and seems to like going on evening walks with the family and loves to just take it all in. We adore her and so hope that she's on her way to being better for good now!
