Bye Bye Bassinet

After Christmas we decided it was time for Taryn to make the transition from her bassinet in our room to her big girl crib in her own room. I have to say that she had the CUTEST bassinet I've ever seen. Cookie, my sister-in-law's mom, got it recovered and let us borrow it. I'm not sure how many babies have used this bassinet but I know Tiffani slept in it as a baby (I'll let you guess how many year's ago that was). Now it's time to return it because the next baby is about to be here who will get to enjoy it! But Taryn's room and her big girl crib are quite cute as well! So far the transition has gone great and I think Taryn really likes her sassy green and black room!

2 Month Check-up

Today Taryn had her 2 month check-up with Dr. Robert. I was really curious to see how much she'd grown since our last visit when she was only 2 weeks old. She's gained nearly 2lbs, grew 2 inches longer and her head got 1 cm bigger! Everyone keeps commenting on how little she looks but the doctor said her growth rate is just fine and it's okay to be a little one when you start out small. She had to get a shot today which she didn't like but before the nurse was ready to leave the room Taryn had already stopped crying and was ready to take a nap in the car!

Here's a breakdown of her stats:

Weight: 9lbs, 3oz (20%)

Height: 22 inches (45%)
Head: 15 1/4 cm (55%)

We call Taryn "The Boss" because she's not shy at all about letting us know when she's not happy and we usually conform to her! She's developed a little bit of a pacifier addiction...okay, so it's more than a little addiction and more like an obsession. As a result we keep that thing clipped to her like it's a fashionable accessory (thank goodness for cute pacifier clips). I go back and forth in my mind whether it's better to have a thumb sucker or a pacifier baby. You can't take the thumb away but it's much easier for a 2 month old to find their thumb than a pacifier when it falls out. I guess you can't win either way. So I make many trips into her room when she's trying to sleep to give it to her when it slips out of her mouth. Let's just say I've been a little tired lately so now I'm accepting tips on how to help keep it in her mouth all night long!!
