Happy Two Months Baby Girl!

I can't believe my baby girl is two months old! It's truly amazing how fast little ones grow. As much as you hear parents say this, it seems impossible to understand until you have your own children. Emma has just blossomed in so many ways this past month! She is developing a little personality and I do believe she is the most adorable baby I've ever seen! I may be a bit partial. ;-) I am enjoying being a mommy more and more every day. Emma has changed my life for the best! She has brought such joy to Ryan and I. We are so incredibly blessed to have Miss Emma Grace! I am so proud to call her my daughter, now and forever more.

What has little Emma been doing this month?

• We don't have your 2 month dr's appointment until Feb. 2nd but I think you'll be just over 12 lbs and 23 inches long. (At your appointment, you were 12 lbs 4 oz and 22 1/2 inches.)
• You are wearing 0-3 month clothing and are finally filling them out! Some are even getting snug already!
• You are in size one diapers. We're still using Huggies, Luvs, and Target brand. We tried Pampers again, the sensitive kind this time. Yup, you still get a rash so we won't be using those again!
• You are sleeping in 6-7 hour stretches, waking to eat around 5 am. You usually go back to sleep for about 2 more hours (on a good day!).
• You LOVE to talk when you're laying on your baby gym and on your changing table.
• You have learned to appreciate a good bath! You hate getting out of the water though...it's too cold!
• You sat through your first Baby Einstein DVD -- Mozart!
• You sat in your Bumbo seat for the first time at 6 weeks. You're doing a great job holding your head up while in the seat!
• You are holding your head up better but we still need to work on tummy time. You hate tummy time with a passion. It's quite the traumatic experience for you, miss drama queen.
• You fall asleep best at night when you are swaddled and your sleep sheep is playing the ocean waves.
• You started noticing the toys hanging above your bouncer and really enjoy talking to them now.
• You have started grabbing at objects. You love to grab onto mommy's hair and her shirts. You're starting to grasp your rattles and some other little toys as well.
• You discovered the mobile hanging above your crib. You love to stare at it and sing along with the music!
• You smiled for the first time at 5 weeks on December 29th but you just started smiling at mommy on Monday, January 24th (exactly 2 months) without any type of coaxing. You are so adorable when you stare up at me and smile like crazy. It just melts my heart!
• We occasionally hear little giggles from you! You do it more in your sleep. You must have some silly dreams! :-)
