Two Months Old

Well, if you can't tell, Sally's a chubster these days. Our girl is a good little eater.

Sally is really starting to become so much more interactive. It's really fun to see some personality shine through our girl.

• She's just started making a clucking sound with her tongue. When we make the sound to her, she'll do it back to us. It's so cute, and she grins so big when she does it. 
• Sally smiles dozens of times each day. If she's not hungry for food or ready for sleep, all you have to do is smile at her, and she'll give you a big grin back.
• Sally has started being awake and content. She'll lay on the floor or in her bassinet and just coo and "talk" for up to half an hour. She also likes to sit in our laps and watch TV with us, but we're trying to keep that to a minimum :).
• Along those lines, I've started reading books to her, and she seems to enjoy it (aka, she doesn't cry).
• Sally's trying to figure out how to grab specific things, but she doesn't quite have control over what she grabs. You can almost see the wheels in her head spinning as she concentrates on grabbing hold of a toy that's dangled in front of her.
• At her 8-week appointment, Sally got her 2-month shots, which made her very sad and tired. I held her in my arms almost all day.
• Sally is sleeping great at night, but we're still working on her daytime naps. They tend to be very short lived.
• Sally is already wearing her 3-6 month clothing and size 2 diapers. She is one big girl!

Sally's Eight-Week Stats:

Weight: 13lbs 1oz (95%ile)

Height: 24" (95%ile)

Head: 15 5/8" (71%ile)

We love little Sally more than anything. We can't imagine our lives without her now. She brings us so much joy and purpose, and we love seeing her grow and develop. Here are a few more two-month pics:
