Katie is 2 months old!

I can hardly believe that my little sweetheart is 2 months old (on the 16th)!!  I decided to take her picture next to this lamb each month so we can see how much she grows this year. 

Her 2 month stats:

Height:  23" (75%)

Weight:  10 lbs 14 oz (50%)

Head:  15 3/4" (75%)

Katie is a good eater and her weight gain is right on track with her age.  She eats 3-4 oz about every 3 hours during the day.  Other than a stuffy nose for a few days, she's been really healthy.  At her check-up on Tuesday she only cried for a couple minutes when she got her immunizations.  After I checked out and headed to the car she was already asleep.  So far she has not had any adverse side effects from the shots, which I'm very thankful for.  We had children's tylenol on hand just in case.  Starting a week and a half ago when we first put her in her crib she started sleeping 5-7 hours every night. (She was sleeping in her bassinet before that.)  She's such a good baby!  It has been awesome to get more sleep! 

   

She was tired of taking pictures. :)

And since I never posted this, here it is:

Katie at one month old

Her previous stats are:

2/21/11 (5 days old - newborn check-up):

Height:  20 1/2 " (75%)

Weight:  7 lbs 7 oz (25-50%)

She gained 9 oz since coming home! 

3/1/11 (2 week check-up):

Height:  20 1/2"

Weight:  7 lbs 15 oz

(They didn't give us percentages at that visit.)

Here are some of my favorite pictures over the last few weeks.

This picture was from Katie's first Sunday at our church on April 10th.  She actually went for the first time on March 27th for her cousin's baby blessing in San Antonio.  She has done pretty good at church, but it is still a huge adjustment for me.  I feel like I barely hear any of the meetings and classes now because I am out in the hall or the mother's room with Katie.  It seems to take her longer to fall asleep at church.  I guess she's too used to taking naps in her swing or bouncy chair at home.  I'm exhausted by the time church is over and I have no idea how the moms with 2+ kids do it!  But it is a great blessing to finally be one of the moms in the hall trying to calm a fussy baby. :)  Plus I get to talk more to all the other parents.       

Katie loves her grandpas. Looks like she's waving at them. :)

This was last Sunday after church.  I love how she's just chilling in the recliner.  (I didn't put her arm like that.)

She started smiling (for real) around 5 weeks.  Then on her 7 week birthday when I went to pick her up from her bassinet she smiled at me for the the first time in recognition!  It made me so happy.  She's been smiling tons since then.  This is one of the few smiles I've been able to capture on camera.  I have to be quick since she usually stops smiling as soon as I pull out the camera. 

I love this dress from her great-aunt Marlys.  She received lots of compliments.  (She had a headband on too but it didn't last long.)

Caught another sweet smile today!  She's wearing a newborn onesie.  She still fits in them although some are getting tight.  I've been dressing her in some 0-3 month clothes now too.   

Aren't her cheeks just so cute?  I love to kiss them.  :)
