Two months!

Officially two months old (two days ago) and she is already changing so much! Lily has been the smiley-est little girl lately. It's so fun to go get her when she wakes up in the morning or after a nap and see her smile and laugh up at me. She really is very good natured :)

Some things she is doing right now:
*Sucking on her fists or arm. She's one drooly baby!
*Smiling and laughing at people. Right now, she thinks I am the funniest person alive, but brother Wade is a close 2nd :)
*Holding her head up. She loves to look around, especially outside, at the TV, and at people she knows.
*Sleeping through the night. Sometimes she'll wake up once, but that only happens every 3rd or 4th night. Generally, she'll sleep from 10:30pm to 7:30am.
*She likes to be on her belly for short periods. As long as she can get her arm in her mouth, she's good.
*She likes to watch herself in the mirror, she thinks she's pretty funny too!
*She loves to be held and carried. The sling I have has been a lifesaver when I need to get things done and she doesn't want to be put down. I recently got an Ergo baby carrier and can't wait to try it out! It's sort of like a front backpack carrier for your baby.
*She likes to sleep in her bouncer as long as the vibrator is on. Actually, I think I want one of those, it's looks pretty relaxing!


We went to the doctor today for her well check today. She is now 12 lbs, 5 oz (90%) and 22.5 inches (75%). Her length is the same, but both the dr and I are pretty sure that the intern who measured her last time probably measured wrong. She then put Lily on her belly and right away she lifted her head and looked around, which she usually does. The doc was so surprised and said most babies instantly lay their heads down, so she is really strong and has great head control. Then she sat her up (in a sitting position) and was surprised again at how she could control her body, she said she only needed to hold her for balance, so she didn't topple over. The doctor mentioned that she might be sitting up, rolling over, etc. pretty early! Already trying to out-do her brother :) Wade, by the way, was 13lbs, 12 oz and 24 1/4 inches at 2 months. He was also 90%, so I'm guessing they used different standards for boys and girls.
