2 Months Old

Katelyn is two months old today! The changes and development we have witnessed in her are amazing and it's only been two months. What kinds of things will we see by her first birthday?! 

You've heard of jazz hands, but one jazz hand with corresponding jazz foot? Now that's talent!

At two months old, Katelyn is ...

~ Smiling throughout the day, mostly in the morning and when she's on the changing table

~ Cooing and "talking" a lot in the mornings (she also has what we've named "the fake cry" which is when she's trying to talk but does it by way of a crying sound. We love hearing her "voice" :)

~ Eating about six times a day (every three hours starting around 6 a.m.)

~ Now sleeping exclusively in her crib (no longer in the basinet in our room)

~ Sleeping between 6 and 8 hours a night (she loves her Sound Spa that plays a heartbeat sound and projects moving images on the ceiling when in her crib)

~ Fussiest in the evenings (almost like clockwork from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. she fusses and cries - unfortunately, during the week this is the only time Michael really gets to spend time with her. Hopefully it's just a phase!)

~ Enjoying looking at books, listening to music, looking at faces, tummy time on her Boppy, and riding in her stroller on walks.

~ Holding her head up for longer stretches, sometimes up to 30 seconds at a time.

~ Getting some good exercise with us "pedaling" her legs. Supposedly it helps alleviate gas, which she gets frequently. Here's a pic of this move:

 

Today was Katelyn's first trip to Weaver Lake (a lake near our house that we love to walk to during the summer). We look forward to many more visits in the warmer months ahead. Here are some pics from this outing:

(I swear I'm not a traitor! Just trying to bridge our "house divided")

Snuggle Bunny! (Thanks for the outfit, Great Aunt Sandra and family :)

Here are some more photos taken in the last week...
