2 1/2 Months!

WellI missed posting on the day Kate turned 2 months old. We were in the midst of her Aunt GG being here spending time, then I got sick and have been sick for the last 2 weeks. Misery. Anyway, I seem to be on the mend, which means I'm ready to blog again. Now onto the important subject of this blog post: Little Miss Kate. My how that baby has grown over the past month and a half!! Trey and I were commenting the other day that we have a baby now, no longer a tiny little newborn. Kate has been on the larger (well, longer) side since birth, and she's kept it up since then. She was in the 100th percentile, or "off the charts" as her pediatrician says, in length AND weight at her 2 month checkup, weighing in at 14 pounds 3 ounces and 24.25 inches long! We are still in some 0-3 month clothes but also fit in the next size up, too.

What are some Kate milestones of this past month? Well let me tell you! She now smiles socially (not just those precious sleep grins), and my favorite time of day is when I get her out of the crib first thing in the morning. That baby girl couldn't be any happier in the mornings. She has even giggled a time or two, and we love it. She has started cooing some, and I melt when I hear that precious little voice! Kate has rolled over from her tummy to her back 4 times. The first time was an accident, then she did it again, and I think she's starting to learn. I'm in no hurry on any of that, because I know once she gets it all down and starts crawling, we are really in for it!! This little girl is active. She hardly slows down from kicking and moving until you rock and sing to her and help her slow down for sleep. Kate is also sleeping through the night! I am proud of my baby girl, and I'm also thankful...those long nights sure do get to ya after a while! She is no longer sleeping in the bassinet in our room, which kinda makes us sad, but she is doing great in her crib. She is so aware of the world around her and is very curious. When she is on her playmat on the floor, she loves staring at things that are colorful and bright. She holds on to something if she gets ahold of it.

Here are a few pics of my little sweetie. Enjoy!!

  2. P.S. Her immunization picture makes me think she was saying "I surrender!!" It cracks me up!

    AND I love her Dumbo stuffed animal:) When me and mom were choosing an animal I was so drawn to it because it is so sweet! It fits her perfectly:)
