Two Months

So, I didn't intend to only post once a month...but here I am, a month later to give Addison's two month update. Some of her accomplishments this month:

• Can suck on her fingers. Her favorite finger to suck on is currently her pointer finger on her right hand. She could find her mouth at one month, but now she can leave them there and suck on them.
• Smiles at Brad and I when we are playing or talking to her.
• Coos and Aahs when she is playing.
• Loves to lay on her back and kick her legs and coo.
• Rides happily in the car - as long as we are moving (this is a huge success!)
• Sleeps in her own room in her crib (she was sleeping in her room in her car seat, for those who think "in her crib" is redundant).
• Sleeps through the night most nights.
• Reflux is getting so much better with the help of medicine. (Hence why she now loves laying on her back).
• Can hold her head up for short periods.
• Is staying on a pretty consistent three hour schedule (nursing, playing, sleeping - repeat every three hours).
• Recognizes when Brad or I are not holding her, and prefers to be with us, although she will let others hold her if she is not too tired.
• Can put herself to sleep when I lay her in her crib awake.

Addison has grown up so much this past month. She is so responsive to people playing with her, and is quite the crowd pleaser at my mom and dads. She loves laying on the floor at their house and watching their tv that is at her eye level. She seems to especially like to watch football which makes her daddy happy. :) While she has developed so much this month, she is still very much a little baby - and I am cherishing every moment as it is already going by so fast! Who knew being a mom would be so fulfilling (besides all you other moms out there), and that I could love a little person so much and fall in love with her more every day! Addison is definitely the love of our lives and we are having so much fun with her!

Official Stats:

• Weight - 9 lbs. 7 oz = 25%
• Length - 23.75" = 95%
• Head - (forgot the measurement :( ) = 50%

She is my long and lean little girl. But we made it to 9 lbs. and we're well on our way to 10! :) No more weight problems...YEAH! :)
