2 months old

Baby Helene is 2 months old today and I am officially back to work after my maternity leave. I had actually given her to be looked after by the babysitter 2 weeks earlier, just for a few hours, so that she could familiarize herself with the new environment. So far, so good and the babysitter has managed to get her into a good routine.

At her 2 month checkup last Friday, she weighed 5.5kg, which the doctor said was perfect for her age. We do however find the rolls of fat on her arms and thighs super adorable (at this stage lol). She is fully on breastmilk, so I direct feed her during the night and weekends, and she has my pumped milk at the babysitter's.

She is a very smiley baby, just like Heidi, but most people say that her features are more like Hannah's. Her smiles are quite hard to get on camera though. She will smile plenty when we are not ready with the camera, and by the time we get out our phones/camera, the smiles will be gone. I did however manage to get a really nice one yesterday morning (mornings are the times when she is in the best mood).

Here are some more of her smiley expressions:

We also notice that she has funny habits when she is sleeping or about to sleep, particularly the way she puts her hand to her face.

Don't grow up too quickly, ok? Mummy and Daddy want to enjoy your babyhood :)
