2 Month Appt!

My daughter Lanier was born November 27th, 2010 weighing 8lbs 15oz, 20.5 inches long.  It was the happiest day of my life and I feel so blessed to be her mom.  It's hard to believe Lanier has already hit the two month mark.  She just had a doctor's appointment last week and she is growing so fast!  She weighed 13lbs and is now 24 inches long...making her in the 95th percentile for both height and weight.  I'm sure these above average numbers will normalize as she gets older, but it's nice to dream that she'll be at least 5"10' like her Aunt Rachel! 

She is also beginning to develop a personality.  She smiles all the time, and that gummy grin melts my heart whenever I get her from her crib in the morning.  She coos and it feels as though we are having our own little conversation.  She's starting to become more interested in her toys, especially her play gym or anything with a mirror, and she loves music!

The most major change that has thoroughly enhanced my quality of life is the fact that Lanier is now sleeping through the night...well pretty much through the night.  At our last appointment, the doctor said that her weight looked really good!  If she woke up at night, we could start letting her try to soothe herself back to sleep.  I still get up and put her passy back in when I hear her, but this normally only happens once or twice a night.  The mornings are much less painful now that i'm getting at least 8 hours of sleep at night. 

Our days now mainly consist of eating, playing, and napping.  I look forward to nicer weather when we can go on walks and spend more time outside. We did host our first play group with about 5 other babies at our house yesterday.  We had a great time and it was fun for me to swap stories and advice with the other moms.

Here are some pictures from the past week!
