Two Months

Happy Two Months, Gracie!

-Your personality has emerged this month as you’ve gone from a newborn that just sleeps and eats to a baby baby.

-This month you met two special friends!  You met each of them before, but you were still in Mommy’s tummy:

Cousin Dylan Monroe Musial (and your Auntie Chris)

and Mr. Silas Richard Hauge (and his mommy, Joy).

-You are such a content girl and you never fuss when Mommy or Daddy change your clothes-you like dressing up in all of your cute outfits!  You’ve outgrown nearly all of your newborn clothes too-such a big girl!

-You’re still in size one diapers.

-You have officially found your thumb and love to suck on it when you’re sleepy.

-You LOVE the mobile over your crib!  Mommy and Daddy say it’s like crack for you because you could just stare and smile at it for hours!

-Speaking of smiling, you give the biggest grins all day long-while you’re getting changed, laying on your back playing, in your car seat, while sucking on your binkie/thumb, while nursing and sometimes you’ll be in the middle of a mini meltdown and you’ll stop crying for just a second to crack a grin.  It’s THE most adorable thing!

-You make and hold eye contact, often times with this infamous furrowed brow.

-You know Mommy and Daddy’s voices.-You weigh about 11 1/2 lbs (official measurements to come on Wednesday when you go to your two month appointment where you’ll also be getting your first round of shots-Mommy is trying to prepare herself to NOT be a bigger baby about it than you).

-You make the sweetest little “oooooo aahhhhh” sounds and Daddy says you’re practicing your vowels.

-After a lot of learning, for both you and Mommy, you’ve become a great little nurser.  PTL!

-You’re not a big napper during the day (*sigh*), BUT you’re are sleeping like a champ at nighttime with your longest stretch at nearly ten hours straight!!  Mommy is just enjoying it while it lasts!

-Your hair is starting to grow back in (the mullet is still going strong!).

-You currently tolerate bath time, but you don’t scream or cry during and Mommy and Daddy are thankful for that!

You are such a joy!  We love interacting with you and watching you discover new things everyday.  You are such sweet little girl and we love you so so much!
