2 Months

The latest on Olivia...

• I call her my little piranha...at least when she eats. I'll sit her up to burp and when I'm bringing her back down to nurse again she comes at me, sometimes with both fists, ready to go again. It's a little frightening! I'm not looking forward to the day her teeth come in. Eeek!
• She is starting to hold her head up, but is still pretty wobbly.
• The sound effects just keep getting better:
• Without getting terribly graphic, she is usually pretty noisy when filling her diaper. And a cute smile often accompanies that noise. Her new trick is to  giggle during and after.
• She sounds like an old man when she clears her throat.
• Burping is her specialty--it makes a mother proud!
• When trying to wake up and/or go to sleep she sounds like the following:
• Beeker from The Muppets
• R2-D2
• A peacock
• The Wicked Witch of the West (I'LL get you my pretty...)
• Squealing Tylers! Ahem...I mean Tires (inside joke)
• A car engine trying to start
• I can't even count the number of growth spurts she's had this month! One morning I went to change her newborn size diaper and it was falling off because it was too small and there was just no way the newborn onesie was going to fit over her head even if it would still fit her body. I'll admit, I almost cried. The evidence was clear that she was growing up...and out. Lately she is too big for newborn clothes and too small for 0-3 month clothes so she's had a total of 3 outfits that fit without drowning her. 
• We have her 2 month checkup tomorrow along with her first set of shots--not looking forward to that at all! But I'm going to be brave and be there with her. Here's hoping we both survive!
