My little girl is 2 months! I can hardly believe it. she is getting so big and I can't do anything to slow it down. So I'm doing my best to enjoy every bit of her while she's still little. I don't feel like I'm in as big of hurry for her to grow as I was with Chris.
We went to the doctor on Monday. She is doing very well. She is 12 lbs 5 oz. Which puts her in the 88th percentile. And she's 23 1/2 inches long. We are of course dealing with the "baby acne" and her lungs are getting stronger, but she's also starting to smile, talk(as much as a 2 months old does), and she just makes life worth living. She eats at 9 pm and sleeps until 7:30 or 8:00 am. Which makes mom a happy camper. She is a happy baby, unless it's evening, but most babies have a fussy time, and that happens to be hers. My grandma Ada used to say that all babies need a fussy time because that is when their lungs get the excercise they need.

And with they doctors appointment comes the vaccinations. She got 7 vaccinations, but with the advanced medicine they have these days, they combined what they could and she only had to have 3 shots They put 2 in her right leg(the strawberry shortcake bandaid), and one in her left leg(the barbie bandaid). She cried during the shots and fussed for a few minutes afterwards, but then she fell asleep. And 12 hours and 2 doses of Tylenol later, she didn't even seem to act like anything happened. What a trooper!
We are truely blessed! She is beautiful and healthy and we couldn't ask for more. She loves her brother and her daddy......and her mom to feed her;)

Thanks for the update - isn't it amazing how much faster the time out of the womb goes than the last 2 months in the womb? You have to remember that vaccinations are good but I remember them hurting me almost as much as my kids who received them. Such are the joys of motherhood.
Good advice from Grandma Ada!! Taylor has a hard time from about 3 to 6 EVERYDAY! Thats great that she sleeps through the night makes things a lot easier!
