Two Months

On Sunday, July 25th our precious little Leah turned 2 months old. She's growing so fast, it's incredible! She's developing a cute little personality. She is still a really content baby and is often really happy. She smiles a lot and is getting really good at cooing. I love to just sit and talk to her since she's getting so good at interacting. She still doesn't cry much (which is wonderful). So if she does really cry, I know that something is wrong (i.e., she's in pain or discomfort).

She kicks her legs and moves her arms around a lot. She can hold up her head pretty well. And she's good at focusing in on things, especially our faces. She's awake a lot more often, but still sleeps quite a bit. We're still working on getting her sleeping better at night, but she is getting better. Although she still likes to be awake in the evening. (If she would sleep better in the early morning hours I wouldn't mind her being awake so much at night.)

On Monday she went to the doctor for her two month check up. She weighed in at 10 lbs 5 oz and 22 1/2 inches long. She's around the 50th percentile - so right about average. The doctor said she is developing well. She also got her 2 month vaccinations at this appointment - 3 shots and 1 liquid. This was the hardest part. She was so happy all through the appointment, but when they poked her with the first shot she instantly cried so hard. Her beautiful little eyes were full of tears. I know that in the long run she will be healthier for having had the shots but seeing my little girl cry so hard made me tear up too. Fortunately she was able to calm down fairly quickly and was fine by the time we left the doctor's office.

Ross and I love being Leah's parents. We couldn't ask for a better baby. We love her SO MUCH!
