The Best Two Months of My Life

The best (and hardest) two months of my life (up to this point obviously) have come and gone! I simply cannot believe that my sweet, precious girl is so grown up. Where did two months go? I just don't understand how nine and a half months of pregnancy seemed to take so long, but this two month period seems more like two weeks!!!

I absolutely love being a mom...more than anything else in this world, I love being a mom. There are days when I just sit and stare at her; there are days when I get to enjoy smiles and coos; there are days when I doubt my own abilities because she is so fussy I can't help but get frustrated ~ not at her but at the fact that I can't seem to help her; there are days I wonder how in the world God thought I was deserving enough to be her mom; there are days I couldn't even begin to find words for how happy she makes me; but EVERY DAY is a day I am eternally grateful for...she truly is the love of my life and nothing else in the world seems to matter.

At two months old, Sophie ~

• Smiles the most beautiful smile one could ever imagine
• Likes to hang out with Mommy and Daddy
• Can really focus on people and objects
• Melts our hearts with those BIG baby blues!
• Has learned to play with her rattle (especially the flower one which goes for rides with us)
• Can click her tongue
• Is trying to learn to laugh
• Can hold her head 90 degrees for small stretches
• Sleeps between 5-7 hours in a stretch (provided no tummy aches arise)
• Takes between 4-6 ozs per feed
• Wears Size 1 diapers
• Fits well in her 0-3 month tops but not so much the bottoms. I promise you could squeeze another small child in those bottoms!
• Doesn't nap during the day very well at all
• Prefers tummy time on Mommy's chest
• Headbutted Mommy doing above mentioned tummy time and busted my lip ~ this one I hope we don't duplicate often. At least you didn't even seem to notice! (By the way, Daddy finds this rather amusing ~ just wait until it's his turn!)
• Has an uncanny ability to scream bloody murder and then break into a beautiful grin ~ making the last hours of bloody screaming forgettable :)
• Attended her first car show
• And finally, IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
