2 months

Our little girl is 2 months old! (and a full 9 weeks today... need to try another shot in the chair). We had her checkup this morning and she's up to 12 pounds and 23 1/4" - 75%ile for both height and weight. She got her vaccinations BAM! BAM! BAM! in the thighs and wasn't very happy about it.

It's so easy to write about the goofy things Miles does, but seems to get repetitive with Audrey's activities: stared into blue eyes; exchanged coos; fed, burped, rocked her; changed poopy diaper. Mix. Repeat. But there are highlights in the routine. She has discovered... her hair. Oh yes, she loves her hair. Always wants to have both hands up there, twisting through the curls. We swaddle her for sleep with both arms tucked in and it's high drama when we have to pull those hands away from the locks. But we will swaddle and keep those arms tucked in tight. I'm convinced that's why she's been sleeping so well. We didn't do it with Miles and by this point we were zombies, still getting up 2-3 times each night. But not our dear Audrey. She's been going 5-7 hours at night. Of course tonight we'll be woken up 4 times because I just wrote that, but we'll survive!!

Miles is coming up with the cutest things lately. The best is how he plays daddy/mommy to his bear. He carries brown bear around and says "This is my baby." And he likes to feed brown bear too, and pulls up his t-shirt to feed him just like mommy feeds Audrey!

Also his wishlist is growing. Every time we pass a lawnmower or piece of heavy machinery he says "I want THAT lawnmower trailer and THAT weedeater and THAT blower and THAT lawnmower." We've told him to save his pennies and maybe one day it can all be his. At least we know what his summer job will probably be in 15 years.
