Two Months

Time is flying by, can you belive Anna is 2 months old! Today at the doctor's office she weighed in at 12 lbs 8.5 oz (90th percentile) and 24.5 in long(97th percentile) - WOW, Anna is one big, growing girl!!! Anna is becoming such a joy to be around. Things she is doing this month:

*Smiling
*Cooing
*Loves being talked to
*Enjoys long walks
*LOVES her swing
*Sleeping well (6 hours at night, sometimes longer)
*Enjoys activity mat time - kicks her legs and swings her arms around
*Strog grasp
*Fairly good head control (Dr. Bergstein was impressed)
*Nurses well during the day and enjoys her bottle at night with Dad
*LOVES bath time
*Still fussy during the late afternoon/evening(The MD said this will hopefully improve within the next month).

Last week we started bedtime routine in which Anna will go down around 7-8PM, Greg will give a bottle around 11PM and she will sleep till 5AM or later - it has done wonders for me getting a full night sleep:)!!!

We're looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving in Iowa. We'll see how Anna handles the 10 hour car trip and being away from home for six days. I know one thing for sure - she & I will definitely be missing her Dad (unfortunately Greg couldn't get enough time off work to join us this year). I've posted some updated pictures below - Enjoy!
