Layla is 9 weeks old! She had her 2 month appointment this week and did great. She weighs 11 lbs 14 oz and is 22 3/4 inches long. She is right on target for her 50-75%. She screamed like a champion when she got her shots and then hiccupped for the next hour - poor baby. Her reflux issues made this whole experience worse for her since she spits more when she is upset, but we made it through with lots of cuddling and rocking. 
Starting this week - Layla has been drinking out of bottles. She (like Hannah) decided that milk only comes from Mom and bottles were unacceptable. We tried one bottle a day for a week and it was excrutiating for everyone. She screamed and cried and bucked the whole time. It took over an hour sometimes to get her to drink 3oz. Since I am returning to work soon, we knew this was unacceptable so we moved to bottles. This was a rough transition for both of us, but we are getting on ok now. Layla will drink about 4 oz without much of a fuss unless she needs to burp. After some encouragement, I have continued to pump and maintain my milk so I can still nurse her at night and in the morning. I will hold out as long as I can with this schedule, but it sure is busy! The longer I can keep her in breastmilk the better though since she is finally starting to feel better. She is still uncomfortable throughout the day and spits up a ton, but she is in less pain than a week ago, so we are trending towards better. Now would be a terrible time to introduce formula to her belly.
Layla saw her chiropractor again this week. She will see him one more time and then we should be done. She will also see the GI specialist again in 2 weeks and unless she reverts or gets worse, we should be done with her also. I imagine Layla will be on the Nexuim for a few months before we can wean her off of it. She will most likely continue the Axid until she is over a year.
We are expecting a visit from aunt Shelly this weekend and lots of swimming since it will be over 100! Layla may get her first swim in even if it is short. She has a tiny suit that we just have to put on her before she can't fit it anymore. It will be snug as it is!
I didn't get very many pictures this week since we were so busy, but did attach the ones I did get.
Have a great weekend!

Is there grandparents? I am sure they have great ones. I never see pictures of them.
