On February 28th, Hollis turned two months old! She had alot of big things happen this month. She has continued to be a champion sleeper and is still sleeping through the night. She is still sleeping beside our bed in her rock and play. We put her down around 9:30-10 and she wakes up around 7:30 the next morning. But let me tell you, the two hours before her bedtime are ROUGH. She has a intense "witching hour" and is just plain mad. She isn't hungry and doesn't have a dirty diaper, but she will scream her head off for two hours each night. It is super stressful for everyone. Her pediatrician said she will outgrow it (and hopefully soon).

She also celebrated her first holiday which was Valentine's day! She made her daddy an arts and craft and got lots of extra love and snuggles on this day. We also started venturing out to eat and doing other things. After she passed her one month mark, her doctor told us we could start taking her out more. She got to meet her cousin, Blair and got to attend the RV show (which she slept through the entire time--can't say I blame her!).

She is still eating like a champ and is never one to turn down a bottle. I am still pumping what seems like non-stop and am hoping to make it until her two month shots before I transition her to formula.
Also this month, she found her smile. She has the cutest little coos and smiles and it is so much fun watching her get excited. However, she is camera shy. It is SOOO hard to catch a smile on camera. When you get your phone out to take her picture, she goes stone faced. HA!
And probably the most difficult part of this past month is that I had to return to work. Hollis' school isn't open yet, so daddy, DeDe, and Lolli and Pop took turns watching her. There were definitely some tears shed, and it is so hard to walk out of the door every morning knowing I am missing so much of her day. Also, while DeDe was in town, Casey and I went on a date night. It was a great night with just the two of us and delicious steak at Eddie V's.
At her 2 month appointment, Hollis weighed 10 pounds 15 ounces and was 22.25 inches long! Getting so big!!
