The Haertling Family: 8 weeks old!!!!! 2 months old!!!! (a little behind)

Wow, I am definitely a little behind, but a lot has been going on! Unfortunately, Tyler lost her Great Grandpa early Saturday morning. :-( My grandpa Kania passed away and things have just seemed to be a whirlwind. Tyler, your Great Grandpa Kania loved seeing you when I would bring you over to their house. I know he would have loved to watch you grow, but I am so thankful that he was able to meet you and visit with you several times. He was a wonderful man who loved to tell jokes. He was quite the character. He loved life and lived it to the fullest! I have many wonderful memories of him to share with you some day!

Great Grandpa Kania and Tyler

On Friday, March 25th Tyler was 8 weeks old! She is just gaining more and more of a personality each and every day. I love seeing her smile! It just melts my heart! You were 2 months old on Monday, March 28th. You are still sleeping through the night! Yea!!! You sleep from about 10:30 until 7:00 each night. You still eat every 3 hours, however the past few days you have wanted to eat every 2-2 1/2 hrs. I am wondering if you're going through a growth spurt. We went to the doctor yesterday for your 2 month check up and you are a growing girl!!! You weigh 11 pounds 7 ounces and are 24 inches long!!! At that rate you will be a tall girl! I guess right in between mommy and daddy's height. You are in the 75th percentile for weight and 98th percentile for height!!! The doctor said to keep feeding you 4 1/2 to 5 ounces each feeding, and you have no problem doing that! You love to eat! You had your shots at your check up yesterday, you did not like them! I held your hands and got you settled down right away though. You were kind of fussy the rest of the day, but you still slept the entire night. You like to be talked to and entertained. You seem to know when no one is right there with you. You love to be walked around and held. Always wanting to be jiggled. You know when you are sitting and not walking around. You will lay on the floor if someone is talking to you, and will sit in your swing for short periods. Today, you let me read you 2 books while you were laying on your rug in your room...you just smiled the whole time! I hope you love reading for a long time! Tomorrow is the first day of April, I am getting so sad that my time home with you is quickly coming to an end. April is the month I go back to school. :-( I am not looking forward to that day at all. I would stay at home with you every single day if I could!!!
