Dottie Rae: 2 Months

Seriously still trying to figure out how my little newborn turned 2 months overnight.... Dottie is the sweetest little thing. Very go-with-the-flow, mellow, although she is starting to get a little more fussy, just an all around sweet little thing. I often say I couldn't have dreamed up a better baby. Which with our spicy toddler we need it ;) She is so smiley and loves to be talked to and looked at. Over loved by big sis-- Goldie is always so concerned about dottie's well-being, and often says "oh no! Dottie tie!" or "Hi Dottie dot!" (the nickname Goldie gave her that has stuck) Getting her shots was so sad! Dottie doesn't ever scream cry, its usually more of a whimper, but man those shots made her scream!! Which of course breaks my heart!

Weight: 10 lbs (16%)
Height:
Head:

Clothes: Size 1 diapers, 0-3 tops and bottoms, bottoms are still a little big, but with her long body the tops won't last too much longer, We got her ears pierced!!

Eating: I am nursing and she eats great!

Sleeping: Thankfully... she is sleeping great! She usually sleeps from about 10-6 every night! Which is awesome.. the past couple nights she has been waking up around 4, but really I can't complain about that either.

 She is already getting so strong and can stand up with her little bird legs, and pulls herself up to sit, it's so cute but so sad! I want her to stay my newborn forever!!

Dottie Rae: 1 month

It is so crazy how one month has already passed... technically it was last week... So I mean time is flying! It makes me sad how fast babies grow. I forget how the newborn stage only lasts a little. 

Dottie has been a little dream baby. She is so mellow, her big sisters opposite ;) She is starting to wake more, and is flashing us the sweetest smiles. She loves to stretch out and she looks so long when she does. Already likes to hold her head up. She sleeps pretty good during the night- just wakes every 3-3 1/2 hours to eat. Just like Goldie, doesn't like being swaddled, but likes a soft blankie by her face. She actually likes her binki! That has been a lifesaver! She only gets fussy when she's hungry, gassy, or around 8 pm. 

She is petite with petite little features. Dot's got cheeks for days, one of my favorite features. She's got Balding on top, but has hair on the back, it looks a little darker than Goldie was. Her eyes are blue, but sometimes they look like they might turn hazel, or brown. She has Monson long, skinny, legs, and arms (the trait all my siblings have, but me). She makes faces that look like Scott a lot, but still has her own look. Sometimes her face seems familiar from either mine or Goldie's baby pictures. She is seriously just perfect!

 At her two week appointment the doctor told us she has a heart murmur, but he assured us it was common for babies, and should go away with time, but they will keep a close eye on it. She also has an umbilical hernia, which should also fix itself once her abdomen develops more. 

We love our two sweet girls with all of our hearts. Goldie has been the best big sister. When she wakes up the first thing she wants to do is "hold you" (hold dottie), and always gives soft kisses, and says "Hey sis!" or "Hi Dottie". Just enough to make my mama heart melt. 

Could you die over that little smile!?
