Carly's Baby

Lately I have noticed that Carly is entering the stage of wanting to be entertained. She LOVES when I play this Elmo video on youtube. She giggles and coos at the computer.

The other night she was fussing while I was folding clothes. I was ALMOST done and was trying to keep her entertained by singing and talking to her. I thought to myself "maybe its time to try some toys." So I got out her babies. She has two- one that is really small and says "I LOVE YOU" when you squeeze it and one that is a Carter's "My First Baby"

The tiny one scared her when it talked so we went with the Carter's baby. It rattles and she smiles at it. I put it in her arms and she held on to it for hours. Later that night when we were putting her to bed I gave her the baby and she actually slept with it for awhile. My baby girl loves her baby!

2 Months Old!!

Well Carly is now two months old! Can you believe it? Time is going by so fast and my little princess is getting big!

Her stats:

- 23 1/4 inches long (80%) up from 50% at 1 month

- 11 lbs 2.5 oz (55%) up from 25% at 1 month

- Her head circumference is 40.5 (45%) down from 75 at 1 month

What has she been up to?

- She is sleeping through the night YIPEE!!!!!

- She likes her swing now which is a big help to Mommy

- She REALLY likes her Daddy now. She looks at him when he is talking to her. He takes her on adventures around the house and in the yard. Her favorite thing to do is watch TV with him!

- She still LOVES being outside.

- She smiles all the time and is cooing more and more.

- She LOVES her "animal babies" - her mobile with colored projection on it. She coos at them and cries when they turn off.

- She loves looking at herself in the mirror. We put one in the car and I LOVE looking at her in it too :)

- She loves being sung to. Unfortunately for her- I can't sing well, but she doesn't seem to mind.

The last ten weeks have been the best time of my life. I will cherish theses weeks forever. Being with her every day and watching her grow is amazing. Monday I go back to work. Although I am excited to be back at school, I will miss my baby girl so much. Neither of us (Carly or I) are going to handle it well so keep us in your prayers! Thank you Lord for this beautiful healthy baby girl!
