Two Months Old (& giveaway alert!)

My little one is already two months! She is doing well! We have our good days and our bad days but I think overall we're beginning to have more good days. She is learning to do so much. She smiles a lot more at me, she watches her toys and moves her arms and legs fast in excitement at them, and she seems recognize voices.

Two Month Stats:

10lbs 4oz, 21 3/3 inches
50% weight, 10% in height

She still loves the bath, so much she will sleep in there...


And still has those pretty blues...

For comparison, here was her one month photo...

Colic Baby.

My child. Colic. Who would have thought? It's one of those "oh that won't happen to me or my baby" thoughts.  I remember thinking that yeaarrss ago while watching A Baby Story on TLC. But life is full of unexpected surprises. And we have to manage it. 

We spend a lot of time doing this...

Standing by the sink with the water running. Yeah, it's not very environmentally friendly but it works. Any hey,  it's for a good cause.

This works sometimes too...

and helps me get things done! Like dinner. 

She also has silent acid reflux. Between the two it's not very often we get sweet smiles like this...

and this...

So they're all the more rewarding when they do happen. I love those times.

We've tried and are still trying almost everything. She has started on Zantac and we've gone through 6 different formulas I believe. My last stop is Enfamil Nutramigen. We'll see if it works!

Because of the colic and reflux she's not a great eater, she nibbles a lot, doesn't sleep well, and constantly grunts and wiggles around trying to relieve her tummy. Needless to say we get worn out. And most mornings we look like this...

It's tough. The hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Sometimes I think I just can't do it anymore, but I know that one day it will get better. It won't be like this forever. 

And she's so worth it all. 

Any advice for colic & reflux babies? I think I've read just about everything but it can't hurt to seek more advice!
