Wow 2 months old already?!?! Where has the time gone too!!! I'm freaking out just knowing that you're growing up so fast! You're really an amazing baby and I love getting to see you grow. You're always smiling, especially right after you've been fed or when you're laying on your changing table. Daddy says you take after me when it comes to your changing table, because you get happy about getting clean! :)

You've recently really gotten into talking and I love hearing about your day when you begin to chat with me. Your sweet "words" are just the cutest thing to hear. You get so interested to tell us EVERYTHING on your mind, and then all the sudden you're done. I love hearing you trying to talk like daddy & I because it shows how attentive that you are. You get that trait from me too, as I'm known to be quite a talker. You have such joy that you make your daddy and I always laugh!
Your vision seems to be getting really amazing, as you tend to stare REALLY hard at the lights on the ceiling. You're amazing at tracking people as they move past you, which is so wonderful because that means you're starting to not just notice people by their voice but the person themselves. You've even turned and looked at daddy once when he called you by name. How amazing!
You're currently in a body harness as we found out that you have hip dysplasia because you were breech. You don't seem to care one bit because you still are quite an active little mover. Thankfully it's temporary (you only need it for 6-8 weeks.. which we find out in another 2 weeks when you get to take it off) so that your hips can be corrected and in the proper place so that you won't have trouble walking or with severe arthritis when you get older. Praise God for the amazing things that the doctors now know to help babies correct things like this. You're doing absolutely amazing with your strong neck as the harness has given you great support and you love to sit there and hold your head up! Sometimes you'll even fuss when you're laying down because you want me to put you on my lap so you can hold your head up! What a strong & determined baby you are, to want to learn this skill so fast! You haven't seem to lose a smile once in your little harness, but make it look extra cute! Here's some proof...
Passed out with your great-granddaddy & smiling!!
Hanging with Paw-Paw and your granddad. Even took a nap on your granddaddy!
Just hanging out with your great-grandmommy!
We also got to hang out with your buddy Griffin and his mommy Ellen recently! We went on a fun walk and you got to hang out (literally) in your awesome little baby carrier! You enjoyed it as Ellen and I took you and Griffin on a nice walk. You began falling asleep after about the 3rd lap. Daddy got to put you in the harness later that same night as we took you to our favorite place to shop.. Trader Joes (TJ's) and you were hanging out in your harness.. you seemed to be very comfortable! The good thing is it helps your hips too, as it positions them in the correct place, so that was a bonus!
Hanging with Griffin
You got to even bust a move or two (ok, so daddy was doing that more than you were) at your Tia Caroline's surprise 50th birthday party! Everyone loved getting to hold you because you went from person to person and just did an amazing job! So proud of your sweetheart!
Dancing with daddy
I love you my sweet smiling girl! I look forward to your newest accomplishments in the upcoming weeks and can't wait to take many pictures of what you do!
