The Brown House: Month 2

Presley is now two months old. Time keeps flying by and she continues to grow and learn new skills daily. Month two has been very different then month one to say the least. I was warned between growth spurts and personalty development we could hit some hard spots and good golly did we!! Weeks 5-7 were literally wheels off at our house. We did our best to keep her on her normal routine, but many days she wanted to eat every hour and then she wanted to be up all night. On top of that she was BEYOND fussy, and developed baby acne with eczema that looked just down right awful. Poor girl! Now at eight weeks the storm has seem to have passed (I'm sure temporally), and we are back on track to our happy household again. We love this little girl like crazy!

Presley Stats
Weight: 9 pounds
Length: 21 inches
Skills: She will look at you for hours watching every move you make. She's now starting to smile on her own (a little) and is starting to sit up pretty well when you hold her. She's now sleeping more consistently 4-5 hours at a time at night. Oh how I love when she sleeps most of the night!!!
Fun things we've done: Big A, Neenie, and her cousin SP can to visit. Presley had a great time with SP. She helped me bath her, feed her and even change her. Two weeks later we got in the car and drove to Mimi's to visit her, Aunt Tricia, Braxton and Auston. We still go on walks every other day with daddy and Maverick when daddy gets home.
Products that have changed our life!: Aveno Eczema lotion and oatmeal bath. This made a world of a difference for her poor skin. Baby probiotics. She was crazy fussy because...well...she couldn't go. This stuff is fantastic.

While she's growing and learning Adam and I are getting ready to go house hunting in NC. We are currently working with a realtor who has been sending us pictures of homes and neighborhoods we might like. I'm are very excited to find a home and get settled for a while. For the past year we have been living in boxes with a majority of our things in storage. For over a year my walls have been blank and all my loving pictures have been boxed. Those of you who know me know how much I love to decorate my home. If I could afford to change it seasonally I would! I'm pretty sure when we do move into our house I'm going to go decorating happy because it's been bottled for so long. Adam on the other hand could really care less. So for now the date is set to leave, one way tickets have been purchased and we are trying to spend as much time as we can with family.
