2 Months Old

Wow...time is just flying by.  Evelyn is already 2 months old and is growing by leaps and bounds it seems like.  In the past month she has had several  firsts.  She has started really babbling a lot when she is awake so we can now "converse" with each other.  She smiles quite a bit in response to not only mine or Mike's smiles but also when she is happily playing on her tummy time mat (either on tummy or on back).  Evelyn has also figured out the whole rolling from tummy to back routine so tummy time has gotten interesting.  She figured out how to roll from tummy to back right before she went on her first road trip to Portland to visit her Aunt Sherry and her cousins.  She is a very good travelling baby :)  Mike and I also got to hear her first laughter, such a lovely sound that warms the heart so very much. 

At Evelyn's 2 month appt she got her first round of shots....I cried after we got home and she was down for a nap.  I know they are a necessity for her well-being but because we had to hurt her to keep her healthy it made me sad.  I hate it when she hurts.  She is now 9 pounds 12 ounces, and is 22 inches long.  Doctor says she is growing just fine and that we are doing good. Definitely glad to hear this since so many times I feel like a horrible mommy because she cries so hard at times. 

When it comes to play time Evelyn loves her swing and is starting to become very attached to her blue Oball and her tag blanket.  I forgot the one day to put her Oball on the carseat and she definitely let me know her displeasure :(.   And if she has a grip on the tag blanket and you try to take it from her she tightens her grip and screams.  Guess my child has her favorite items :)

Evelyn in her swing....you can see her tag blanket hanging from swing, she hasn't realized it is there yet but she will.

 

Getting ready for our trip to Oregon.
