Havyn Quinn, I just really love saying your name. Your first name means "a place of safety or refuge". Yes, it's spelt differently but has the same meaning. There's just something about you that makes me feel just that. When you look up at me with your big beautiful eyes and smile, I feel refuge. It's like when I look at you I see Jesus. You have challenged me in more ways than your big sister ever did and you have taught me patience and serenity in your short 2 months of life. You are still a little firecracker and have the biggest personality already. You still cry quite a bit but it is SO much better.
Around 5 weeks old I finally broke down and took you to a chiropractor. You just cried so much and like you were in pain. You hated your car seat, you hated laying down, you hated your swing, and you hated not being held a certain way. My mama instinct was coming out full force and I just knew something else had to be going on. The chiropractic series is a whole other blog post but bottom line is that it has helped you SO much. You had started spitting up after every feeding, getting hiccups, and having gas pains all day. You were just so miserable. I am happy to say though that the spitting up has reduced some as well as the hiccups. You still get pretty intense tummy pains though and I'm hoping those start to fade soon.
You are eating every 2 and a half to four hours during the day depending on how well you sleep after your very first feeding of the day. You are a super great sleeper at night. You only wake twice throughout the night to eat and that's after giving mama at least a 6 hour stretch of rest. You love sleeping in your rock and play and love that it rocks you all night long. You are starting to like your car seat just a tad bit more but if the sun is in your face you can forget it haha.
We went for your 6 week check up and you weighed 11 lbs. 11 oz. and was 23 inches long. They said you were very healthy. You absolutely hated getting your shots though. You screamed so loud and it took you a bit to calm down afterwards.
You are becoming more and more social and LOVE to be talked to. As long as someone is in your face talking to you, you are the happiest baby. Your little grin is seriously the cutest. You coo and goo all the time and have semi-laughed out loud a few times. You start kicking your legs and moving your arms as soon as any of us start talking to you. You love seeing your sissy though. She can come over to you and you get so happy. You are tracking everything that passes you and you have noticed the bright colors on the tv and the ceiling fan.
You are wearing size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes. You still don't like having your clothes changed and hate it when I put a bow on you. You still love to take a bath and have the blow dryer going. You still have a head full of hair but have lost a little bit of it. It's still super straight and I can't give you a mohawk or make it curly. I think you're going to have hair more like mine. It looks dark brown but when the light hits it it's really light and has sort of a reddish tint. You can thank your sweet Nanny for that. Your eye color has gotten it's permanent color and they are brown with a little blueish tint to them.
Your mama is pretty high on your list and you always know when I am not around. It's like you look for me and get so sad when I don't come to you. You love to be covered up and have warm clothes on. You are our own little sister bird and we all love you so very much!
Love, Mama
