Two Months!

Where has the time gone?!  I'm sure I'll be saying this for the next 18 years, but wow. I can't believe how quickly it has gone by!

Two months... wow.  First off.. the stats:

At six weeks you weighed in at 10 lbs 15 oz! Growing, growing, growing!  At your two month check up you weighed in at.... 12 lbs!  You also grew taller and are exaclty 24 inches long.  Let me just say, this is probably the only time in your life that people will cheer and congratulate you on putting on the pounds, so enjoy it sister!

We went to your appointment on Halloween (exactly 2 months) and your pediatrician was dressed up as Captain America!  I should have taken a picture, it was pretty fun.  You are in the 95th percentile for both height and weight and checked out great!  We also gave you your first round of shots and immunizations - everyone warned me that you'd probably cry your eyes out and be a really fuss, but, because you're such a Rockstar, you were upset for a total of...maybe 20 seconds, then you cozied up and fell asleep.

You are happily sleeping in your own room now in your crib, and sleeping through the night!  That started right about 7 weeks and you love looking at the color of your room when you're awake.  You wake up with big smiles every morning and it's my favorite part of the day!

You are also starting to sit up (with the help of your Bumbo chair) and love being able to look around.   You and your dad like to spend Sundays on the couch watching football, or napping, or both and you have been a busy busy baby helping me with your dad's campaign.  We've enjoyed the beautiful fall weather we've had and doorbelled on the sunny days - and made phone calls on the rainy days.  I will say, you're not too excited about it all, you end up taking your afternoon nap when I'm working (but that's okay!)

Let's see...what else?  Oh!  You went to the Pumpkin Patch for the first time (slept through that too) and had your first Halloween!  We dressed you us as a chicken, or a duck, not quite sure... but you were adorable!  You were nice and cozy in your costume!

You make us laugh and smile everyday!  You have so much character and your expressions are priceless.  You still have that concerned, focused look - but then you'll break out a HUGE smile and squirm all over.  You've started drooling, ALOT, but you're not teething yet, thankfully!  You also rip ones...all...the...time.  Oh my goodness kid, you stink!  But you're so cute we think it's hilarious (as we pull our shirts over our noses...)

It's facisnating watching you look around and discover new things everyday.  We are so thankful and blessed to have you in our lives and you continue to amaze me - we love you so much kiddo!

Happy Two Months!
