Today is Annika's 2 month birthday! Grandma Lona took a few pictures that I'll upload in a couple days. She's a huge baby! She seems so long now but I think that's because she's uncurled herself. Her doctor appointment is Tuesday so we'll see how long she is then. New things in Annika's world:
- She's had 3 bottles now. The second one was last Tuesday. That one didn't go so well. I think she was tired, plus the bottle wasn't the right temperature so she was just crabby and unhappy and didn't drink very much at all. She had her third either Thursday or Friday. That one went much better. We weren't sure what temperature it should be at so I pumped and Kris fed her that milk. That way we knew the milk was the correct temperature for her. I also completely left the room as well as didn't talk. We also used the 1 month + nipple instead of the newborn nipple. This third feeding went much better. She drank about 2 ounces before deciding she was done. I was happy with this since she'd eaten only about an hour before. I didn't want to wait to try the bottle when she was hungry because then she'd just be angry anyway. We'll try the bottle again tomorrow night and every couple days from here on out. I go back to work two weeks from Wednesday.
- Annika has a new friend! A big congratulations to Are and Jessie who had a baby girl today. She was 8 pounds and 52 cm (whatever that converts too in inches). We're still waiting on learning the name and getting some pictures. Annika won't be able to meet her friend until probably next summer though since Are and Jessie live in Denmark.
