You're Two Months Old

Baby Girl,

I am in shock that two months have gone by!! You are growing up way too fast.  You have changed so much in just one month.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures of you from this month....

You still LOVE to get a bath.  Your daddy and I love to put you in the bath tub and watch you kick and play.  We now leave you in the bath tub past just washing you so you can enjoy it!  You love to have your head scrubbed at the end of your bath.

You have really started to smile at us this month.  It isn't just a gas smile any more.  We will stick our tongue out at you, blow at you, or do other things that make us look utterly ridiculous and you will just give the biggest grin.  You are so close to laughing, but haven't really laughed at us just yet.  Either your not quite there yet or you don't think we are funny at all!!

You are still a HUGE cuddle bug!!  Every morning Mommy gets you out of your Nap Nanny and puts you in the bed next to me.  You will stay asleep for another 2-3 hours cuddled up to me.  Your daddy had you lounging on MiMi's table one Sunday night at dinner.

You had a lot of firsts this month.  You went to church for the first time.  You went on your first vacation to the beach.  You had your first medicine (for some tummy problems).  

Here are some other things about you this month....

* You weigh 10 lbs. 8 oz.

* You are 22 3/4 inches.

* You smiled at us for the first time this month.

* You love your paci still.

* You sleep through the night.

* You take 4 oz. and 6 oz. bottles throughout the day.  

* You love your play mat that Nanny and PaPaw bought you for Christmas.  It has a piano at the foot and you kick and kick at it.  Your daddy and I are convinced you are going to tear it up before long.

* You still like to lay on our chest through out the day.

* You love to get in your carseat and go places.

* You have started to get good at holding your head up by yourself.

* If I put you on my lap and hold you by your hands you are starting to straighten your legs and stand on my legs.

* You are now wearing 0 - 3 month clothes.  Honestly, you still wear some newborn as long as it doesn't have feet in it.

* You are wearing a size 1 in diapers.

* Your daddy jokes that you will never know your name because I call you so many different things (Shug-a-boog, Doodlebug, Lovebug, etc.)

* You still love to take a bath.  You now kick and splash every time we put you in your tub.  You are still taking your bath in your little tub in the sink.

* You still sleep in your Nap Nanny between Mommy and Daddy (I am afraid next post I will have to say you have moved into your pack-n-play :( ).

You are truly such a joy.  You are the happiest baby.  Your daddy and I don't know how we got so lucky with you.  You are an answer to so many midnight prayers and we couldn't love you more.  You are absolutely spoiled rotten, but we wouldn't do anything different!  

Love,

Mommy
