2 Months Old

2 Months goes by so fast! Seriously! You blink, and then your newborn is pretty much gone and suddenly you have an official "baby". I think that 2 months is also when you start to see some real personality come out. As Pa calls it, the 'blob' phase sort of ends and suddenly they start to "really" interact. I don't totally agree with Pa, but I understand what he is trying to say.

Right around 2 months old sweet Carys is smiling and cooing. She Loves it when you look right into her eyes and sing to her and smile at her. She just sits, mesmerized and coos right back at you. She is still such an easy going baby. She hates the car and screams her head off pretty much any time we are in it for more than a few minutes. Most kids are soothed to sleep in the car. Not Carys. But that is pretty much the only time that she cries. Other than that she is happy and smiling and content. Despite my many efforts, she has no desire to take a pacifier. But she does love to suck on her hand or her fingers all the time. She is also still a big snuggler and is just the most darling little girl. We love her to pieces.

At her 2 month check up Carys was 10 lbs 7 oz (30%) and 22 inches long (25%). Definitely growing, but also still just a little one. So far she is running pretty true to size with her clothing. Finally out of newborn clothes and wearing 0-3 months. All growth and development is right on track. She has found her hands, she loves to be talked to, she responds to noise and even turns to look for Mama when she hears her voice.

Carys, we love you to pieces!!

I predict that this pouty lip will get her her way a lot!
