Two Months Old

   Ava Elisabeth you are two months old and it just seems impossible how much you’ve grown.  You were 6lbs, 3oz at birth and now you weigh 11lbs.  You were 18 inches at birth and now you are 24 inches.  You are growing at a rapid pace and I just can’t seem to keep up.  Believe it or not, as big as I think you’ve gotten, you are still just below the 50th percentile.  That’s nuts to think that more than 50% of babies your age are bigger than you!You wear three month sizes and the crazy thing about that is it seemed to happen over night.  One day you were in newborn sizes and then the next nothing fit!  It never ceases to amaze me how fast babies grow! 

You roll over and smile so much!  You just light up and love the song “You are my sunshine” just like your brother.  You are still my good little sleeper, you go to sleep around 10 or 11 and sleep until 5 or 6 waking for a brief snack and then sleeping again until 8.  Thank you! You are a very hungry little girl and still want to eat every 2 hours except at night. 

You smile like crazy when Michael talks to you and when you are upset, he lets everyone know and he tells you that “Mommy’s coming!”.  He tries to put your binkie in your mouth but you don’t seem to like that very much.  You have the sweetest little alto voice, your sounds are just adorable.  You are still my little billy goat making all sorts of funny noises.  Your hair never fell out or got thinner, it just keeps on getting thicker and thicker and is still that beautiful dark brown.

You get more beautiful everyday which seems impossible and I fall more in love with you everyday.  I’m blessed you are my daughter and I just hope I can keep up with you lovebug!
