Two Months Old


Baby girl is already two months old!  We went for her checkup yesterday and she got a great report.  She passed her 2 month milestones with flying colors and has already reached one of the 4 month milestones - rolling from front to back.  From the beginning we'd put her on her tummy and since she is not a fan of tummy time there is a bunch of squirming and nearly always she manages to end up back on her back.  I just kind of figured it was a fluke, but apparently if the kiddo does anything more than once you can check it off the list.

Ella is still eating and sleeping like a champ and she is growing like a weed.  Yesterday she weighed 10 lbs 9.6 oz and measured 23 1/4 inches long.  She was in the 80th percentile for height and head circumference and in the 48th for weight.  Unfortunately she got had to get some shots, but other than a beet red face and screaming while the nurse was administering the shots she did great.  I've been giving her Tylenol to help with any pain and she seems to be fine (or actually HEB brand b/c they still aren't making Tylenol since the big recall!)    We get to go back to the doctor in 2 months.  I had forgotten how frequently you get to visit the doctor the first year!

Definitely lots more smiles.  I think that I get the most smiles right after I change her diaper!  She still loves to stand up and enjoys bat her hanging toys around.  Her bouncer has an attachment that she seems to enjoy, there are bubbles and the fish moving around.  There is always lots of kicking and arm swinging when she is in her bouncer these days.  Unless she is asleep that is!  She has also mastered the art of grabbing my hair.  Oh, and lots of "talking" - love the cooing and baby babble.
