2 months old

Oh, not-so-little Critter Girl, you are already 2 months old today. Can you believe it?

I look at you and think, you've always been like this. But I look at pictures from the last 2 months, and you have grown and changed so much. You now weigh 11 lbs, 10.5 oz and are 22 inches long. It really is amazing how big you've gotten, and how you reveal yourself to us more and more every day.

Your latest tricks include loving to watch Mommy and Daddy when we talk, specifically watching our mouths move. Then your mouth begins to move too, with and without sounds. It is really cute. Your smile welcomes me every morning when I come in to your room and say Good Morning to you. You still love your full-body 3 minute (at least!) morning stretch, it breaks my heart every time. You like tummy time on my tummy, raising your head to look at me.

We still don't know what eye color you'll have, they are still grey-ish, but I'm betting on brown, like mine. Daddy thinks hazel, like his. We will have to wait and see.

You have discovered your hands, and love to suck on your pointer finger knuckle and thumb area. Loudly. You love some knuckle lip-smacking. You also are starting to coo and make new noises, every day a new sound comes from your lips. You have begun to look at yourself in a mirror, and smile when you do.

You are more interactive every day, and I really enjoy watching your personality emerge. Mommy and Daddy (and Umpkins too!) love you very much. Happy 2 month birthday, little girl.
