Sophie at 2 Months

Sophie is such a darling little girl. She had her two month appointment the other day and is one big girl. She also had her shots. She was really good right after the shots, but that afternoon she was really upset and started screaming inconsolably for about an hour. Here are her stats:

Weight: 13 lbs 6 oz (90th percentile)
Height: 25 1/4 inches (100th percentile--off the charts)
Head Circumference: 40 cm (93rd percentile)

Sophie is getting to be so much fun these days. Here are some of the things she does:

• She smiles all the time. She absolutely loves attention and any time someone talks to her she will light up with a smile. She is the most happy when she wakes up in the morning.
• She sleeps very well at night. I feed her before I go to bed (usually between 9-10pm) and she can usually make it until 2-4am. Then I get up to feed her again, she eats and immediately goes back to sleep. Then she can make it until 5-7am before her next feeding. But she doesn't nap very well during the day unless someone is holding her.
• She has started cooing a lot. She has two distinct sounds--one happy and one sad. The happy one is hilarious. She looks like it takes so much effort for her to talk. Sometimes she looks surprised that she made the noises she does. But after everything she says she will smile like she is so proud of herself. Her sad noise is also hilarious. She definitely knows how to get attention. If we aren't paying her enough attention she will start whimpering like a little puppy. We just laugh at her because she has the cutest pouty face to go along with it.
• She loves having her tongue out. She has a really long tongue and sticks it out when she smiles.
• She likes her baths much better now and often starts kicking to make a really big mess.
• She loves blowing bubbles. The bubbles will dry on her cheeks at night when I am not around to wipe them off and leave milk crusties all over.
• She has her fussiest time right before bed between 7-8pm. She resists falling asleep until she is upset.
• Sophie is really strong (I think). She can hold her head up pretty well but will start bobble-heading after a while. She can also mostly support herself with her legs. She has started standing as I burp her over my shoulder.
• She absolutely hates tummy time. She knows how to get out of it by crying and mashing her face into the floor until I flip her back over. I am a total push-over when it comes to tummy time. My doctor got mad at me because she is supposed to be doing it three times a day for 20 minutes. (She does it about once a day for 30 seconds. Oops.)
• She still loves cuddling on my shoulder to fall asleep. She doesn't like Isaac's shoulder. But she squishes her face on mine and loves sucking on my neck.

We love having this little girl in our lives. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by with her. It is so fun to see Isaac interact with her as well. He is definitely enjoying her being more interactive these days. We still think she is the most beautiful baby in the world and thankfully we don't think she looks like either one of us. ;)
