Two months

Celebrating two fantastic months!

This week we celebrated our Annabelle turning two months old.

She has so many beautiful and brightly colored clothes, but I am still a fan of her in a simple white onesie.

Also, I figured a simple white onesie would be the best way to document her growth each month.

She is sure a happy girl!

Annabelle loves smiling and talking throughout the day. She is more apt to give smiles to mama but loves her dad and makes sure to let him know every day. She brings such joy into our lives, we already can't imagine life without her. Dieter is having a hard time being away from her everyday while at work. Even if she is napping when he comes home he still rushes in her room just to see her and give her some love.

The past month has gone by quickly. Annabelle is still a bit too small for her 3 month clothes and of course has received some fabulous 3 month clothes from friends and family this month.

In this past month Annabelle has:

-Moved to 7 feedings a day, but still enjoying her late night cuddle time with dad and pumped milk

-upped her smile time from just the morning to an all day happy smile session

-began to give us such funny faces including raised eyebrows and half smirks

-began to follow objects with both eyes 180 degrees, this started with following mama and dad and now has included her elephant Eli and a sunflower rattle during changing time

-settled her fussy time from 3 hours to about 30 minutes

-been taking longer naps in her crib throughout the day, she still cries and talks herself to sleep for 5-10 minutes each nap

-decided that one nap each day (this nap changes) she does NOT want to nap in her crib

-still loved her swing, infant "buzzy" chair, stroller and errands in the car

-held her head straight and strong while being held. Such a strong neck!

-held her head up to 45 degrees while on tummy time

At her two month mark she weighed 9 lbs 13 oz

We love you so much baby girl and enjoy every single moment with you.
