Abby is 2 months old and FULL of smiles! Smiling back at us seems to be her new "favorite trick" to show off. She loves when Scott and I sing to her and she even coo's along with our singing. Scott makes up the funniest songs to sing and ironically 90% of them are tuned to Christmas carols. We feel at times that Abby is having her own little conversations going on and it is adorable. When you least expect it you can hear Abby laughing and chuckling at all moments of the day. Books are becoming more appreciated these days, she loves to look at all types of colorful pictures. She can hold her head up and center it longer and longer with each day and she also loves to push of with her legs to try to stand when we hold her upright. With all of this being said, we need to get on the baby proofing very soon!
Abigail still loves to nap right on mommy and daddy best, but will sleep soundly in her bassinet, rocker, pack n'play, and bouncer. When Abby is VERY hungry, her cries sound like she is saying "MAMA" and it melts our hearts. In the first 2 months of her life she has traveled to Michigan and back by car (more to come in the future on that endeavor) and I am proud to say we survived our first road trip with a BABY!
On May 11th, Abby surpassed 10 lb and this was a monumental day for us. The pediatrician said once she passed the 10 lb mark, we could let her sleep as long as she wanted to through the night. OH MY WORD, we forgot how wonderful more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep was! Praise Jesus that we are not as brain dead as we were this time last month! She is currently sleeping an average of 6-8 hours almost every night with the occasional 1-2 nights a week she may wake up in the middle of the night. What a welcomed and major milestone!!
Our little girl is growing! Here are her 2 month Stats:
Weight: 11 lb 13 oz
Length: 22.75 in
Head Circumference: 15 in
Tummy time these days now consists of leg kicking, head lifting and finding of the fist. Then this results in sucking on found fist, Abby's favorite reward!
Looking at this picture I fear that she is going to go from tummy time to running and skip all of the other stages. Lord help us!
