2 Months

Nora is two months old today! She has officially doubled her body weight and was up to 7 lbs. 6 oz. at her last appointment. She is starting to focus her eyes on things around her and grab on to things, and she likes listening to music. 

This month, we noticed that she has developed acid reflux, though it's mostly manageable by medicine and a slower, preemie-flow bottle nipple.

Like most babies, Nora is most happy when she is being held. She also loves to ride in the car (it can cure most ills except hunger!).

As you can see in the picture, Nora's hemangioma is growing quite rapidly. We have plans to get it checked out more thoroughly in July. The more research I've done, I've learned that less than 10% of babies are born with them, though the likelihood increases in babies who are Caucasian, female or premature. Well, Nora is all three, so I guess she had it coming! Despite this temporary spot, she is a pretty baby and we love her very much!
