ElsieBaby At Two Months

My sweet baby girl is growing far to quickly. Last week we went to her two months appointment and I was blown away. She is already off the charts for height and weight. She is weighing in at just shy of 15 pounds and she is 24 inches long. She is happy and smiley all the time. She is sleeping better and better every night. Since she was a month old she would do about a five hour stretch, that has just increased until last night she slept from 9:00 pm until 6:00 am. I woke up startled and worried of course but she was fine. She is generous with smiles and of course gives most of them up to her daddy. Andy tickles like her crazy and she is already starting to giggle, it is mostly just grunting but it is obvious that she is cracking up when Andy goes after her. Just like Boston her feet are attached to her smile and her whole body responds when she smiles. She is cooing and gurgling and making all the sweet noises that melt my heart. She is starting to bat at toys which, stupidly, brings me to tears. Boston loves her and is always worried I'm going to forget her and leave her in the car or something, he gets so upset when she does cry and runs to give her a binky. She is so special and has filled a missing part of our family. It is weird to me that I can miss someone I haven't even met, but I have been missing my baby girl for a long long time and I am so glad she is finally here. My family feels more complete than before and I am grateful for the feeling of peace she has brought to our home. I would be lost with out her.

Her are a few of the 400 pictures I have taken over the last month. Enjoy.

She is seriously sooooo cute! Beautiful smile! Oh, and thanks for the advice you left on my kid talking me to death - having her sing/talk to Mya is working like a charm - you rock the hizzouse!

I bet she LOVES having you as her mommy! What a cute girl! Makes me want a girl. . . in like 3+ years. (I've got to make sure I can handle 2 boys first!)

If you have ANY more advice on handling 2 children DO tell me:)

You definitely know a secret that I don't about gettting babies to sleep...

I wish I could help you with potty training Boston but I am not an expert at that either. I started Alyssa at 18 months and it took forever so I waited until Alex was 3 and then I just told him diapers didn't fit him anymore and he was instantly potty trained, no accidents at night even.

She really is so cute, and you know I wouldn't say that if I didn't mean it. I can't believe it's already been two months. Weren't you just here about ready to pop a week or two ago?
