Adele - 2 months old!

Adele is 2 months old now and had her 2 month checkup and shots on Wednesday. It's kind of strange for your baby to have her 2 month appointment almost a week before she was due to be born! Adele is doing really well. She's 6lbs 15oz now, so she gained about 14oz in the last two and a half weeks which is great! She's still in the 0 percentile for a 2 month old, but we're going to start comparing her to a newborn now in terms of growth and development, so in that she's clearly well ahead of the curve ;-)


She's getting better at eating but still has a tendency to choke and turn blue. Between this and setting off her monitor alarm a few times when she had the cold the doctor in the apnea program would like to keep her on the monitor for a few more weeks.

She had her follow up eye exam today and everything looks great! Preemies are at risk for vision problems, and she might need glasses in the future (partly because I wear them) but her nerves are all there now and grew in properly after she was born (which is something that usually happens before birth).

Fiona has been enjoying spending time with her. The other day we all lay (laid? lied?) down on the floor together and she thought it was really funny to scoot up close to her and look at her. She loves to point out Adele's nose and hair, and I thought she was telling me about her elbow, but after she poked her in the face I realized she was saying "eyeball". Adele has started to like to look around too...


We're enjoying the little sleep we manage to get, and are loving spending time all together. Life is fun with two little girls!

I can't believe she's already 2 months old! Wow! I didn't really believe it at first. Anyway, it's not so bad to have to wear glasses. Have fun you all. Love, Tanya

She is adorable and growing well. So glad to hear that her eye exam results were good and that she is not having any issues in that department due to her early arrival.

Adele is officially the cutest baby in the world - it was Fiona but she is now the cutest toddler in the world and Adele has taken over the title of cutest baby! So good to hear how well she is doing x

So tiny! I can't believe it, Our little guy was born 4 days ago and he is 9lb 3oz what a huge difference. She is so beautiful can't wait to get the kids together again

Seriously, weren't you just pregnant? Time flies by even faster when it's someone else's baby... It's wonderful to watch Adele grow, and you & Fiona change!
