Lucy: 2 months

Trite but true: time flies. Becoming a parent just adds whole new layers of meaning to the expression.

This has been the fastest summer of my life. I cannot believe she is 2 months old...


What's going on at 2 months!
-The word we most often use to describe her temperament is INTENSE. She is so expressive. If she is happy, everyone knows it. If she is NOT, everyone knows it, or ELSE! She can go from 0 to 60 in the blink of an eye. Mom has gotten her to take a bottle a few times and when she does, mom says it is like she has PMS; she will go from almost laughing to crying in an instant. (Bottle-feeding is confusing!)
-She is 13 lbs 10 oz and 24.25", which is about the 97th percentile. She is HEAVY! Josh gets tired of carrying her around pretty quickly. My wrists are crackly and mom says I need to do some push-ups. She says we were like this as babies too; rapidly expanding.
-She is SO HAPPY and squealy in the morning. Social smiles are just the absolute best. It is so fun to go back and forth with her, smiling and trying to communicate in her fun noises.
-She loves walks outside in the Boba carrier. I love them too.
-She seems to like big social events with lots of people to see and things to look at.
-She is drooly and ear-tuggy...we wonder if these are early signs of teething.
-She does not like car rides
-Does like baths...which we sometimes end up taking, after vomit-inducing car rides
