Miss Willa bean, little Wills, Willa pops, Bubbe, Smooshieface, Booger bean, little peanut...whatever you call her, she's 2 months old today! The last two weeks have been very challenging, week 6 involved pretty significant doses of inconsolable crying but we've come out of it knowing new things about our girl and ourselves, which is always a bonus. Willa has headed right into a new developmental stage having taken up smiling, burbling, reaching for things, tracking with her eyes, and mouthing objects (specifically stuffed animals).

Things on the nursing front have improved since her tongue tie diagnosis and clip, so we are doggedly continuing!
Yesterday I met up with a few mamas from our prenatal class and attended an infant massage class (taught by the mother of one of my preschool friends - small city!), which was delightful! So much fun to be around babies of different ages and engage in such a calm and mindful way. Willa enjoyed it about 50% of the time, then got a little over-stimulated. I think we'll go back in a month or so.
Today was her 8 week check up and she's doing great! Almost 11 pounds and 24 inches. She's pretty long with a big ol' head, so I'm thinking she's taking after her dad :)
Tomorrow will be her first Hanukkah and we will celebrate with the Holt grandparents. We also got a Christmas tree and have decorated it in all of our spare time. Happy blended holiday household!
